Abstract

Gas dispersion and solid suspension in industrial size slurry bubble column reactors for producing sodium dichromate are simulated numerically by using of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The Eulerian multi-fluid model and standard k-ε turbulence model are used to describe the flow behavior in bubble columns. The simulated results show that gas is easy to flow toward the centre of the bubble column and in relatively high local gas holdup there. Installing gas-re-distributors in the bubble column is favorable for gas dispersion. Solid suspension in the bubble columns under the operating condition we investigated is relatively uniform.
