Abstract
®Advanced-Flow™ Reactors are compact, adaptable and scalable, optimizing overall production cost and quality of high-value specialty, fine, and pharmaceutical chemicals. Their gas-liquid flow and mass transfer characteristics were investigated for a G1 module. The flow patterns were visualised; bubbly or churn flow was observed, depending on the flow rates. The two-phase frictional pressure drop was satisfactorily predicted by the Lockhart-Martinelli equation, with a modified value of Chisholm’s factor. The mass transfer was studied using the absorption of CO2 in a 0.5 M buffer solution of NaHCO3/Na2CO3. The volumetric mass transfer coefficient increases with the increase of gas or liquid flow rates and has very good values, proving the mass transfer intensification characteristics of the Corning ® Advanced-Flow™ Reactors.
