Abstract
1. The oxidation of paraffin wax was studied under various hydrodynamic conditions in the linear air velocity range over the total section of the column of 0.05 to 0.35 m/sec. The process rate was highest at air supply rates of 0.2 m/sec and above. 2. It is shown that oxidation of solid paraffin wax at 130°C with a specific air flow rate of 1.08 m3/kg · h is in the kinetic region, with specific flow rate of 1.08 to 0.36 m3/kg · h in the transitional region and at flow rates below 0.27 m3/kg · h in the diffusion region. 3. In designing industrial foam type equipment the linear air velocity should be in the range 0.15 to 0.2 m/sec and the specific air flow rate 0.4 to 1 m3/kg · h.
