Abstract
Experimental data on the volumetric liquid-phase mass transfer coefficient k La in 10 and 19 cm I.D. bubble columns with single-nozzle gas spargers were obtained with several gases and various pure liquids or aqueous non-electrolyte solutions, and the effect of the physical properties of the gas and liquid on k La was studied. A new dimensionless correlation for k La was developed and is shown to correlate the experimental data with an average deviation of 2.5%. Data for absorption of oxygen from air into aqueous solutions of various electrolytes were also obtained and the effect of the presence of electrolyte on k La was investigated.
