Abstract

The work presents the effect of solid particles having a mean diameter between 15–1000 μm, on the gas dispersion in a mechanically agitated vessel with standard and modified Rushton turbine agitators positioned singly or doubly on same shaft. For the dispersing and uniform distribution of the three phase (gas-liquid-solid) through the entire vessel section, the modified blade turbines, with the surface fraction of the perforations equal to 0.353, were found to be more efficient, the power consumption being reduced by approximately 50%in comparison with the standard Rushton turbines. The power number in the turbulent mixing of the three phase system is dependent on the aeration rate, the surface fraction of the perforations, the turbine number and the physical and rheological properties of the suspensions.
