Abstract

The cocurrent upward mode was employed to absorb pure oxygen into water in bubble columns packed with Koch (Sulzer) motionless mixers. The liquid-side volumetric mass transfer coefficient, K La , in the packed bubble column was found to be always larger than that in the unpacked bubble column. In the range of liquid velocities from 6.7 cm/sec to 39.9 cm/sec, the value of K La in the packed bubble column increased with the increasing liquid velocity while that in the unpacked bubble column was almost independent of the liquid velocity. The equation of the form K La = mν l βϵ was successfully adopted to correlate the K La data.
