Effects of internals on macroscopic fluid dynamics in a bubble column

The effects of internals on liquid mixing and gas–liquid mass transfer have rarely been investigated in bubble columns, and the commonly used measurement method overestimates significantly overall gas holdup. Firstly, gas holdup measurement method is improved by conducting multi-point liquid level measurement and using net fluid volume instead of bed volume to calculate gas holdup. Then, a stable conductivity method for liquid macromixing has been established by shielding large bubbles using #16 nylon mesh. Subsequently, the influences of internal coverage (=12.6%, 18.9% and 25.1%) on macroscopic fluid dynamics in a bubble column with a free wall area are systematically investigated. It is found that the presence of internals has a notable effect on macroscopic fluid dynamics. The overall gas holdup and gas–liquid volumetric mass transfer coefficient decrease, and the macromixing time decreases with the increase of internal cross-sectional area coverage. These are mainly caused by the uneven distribution of airflow due to the low resistance in the free wall area. This design makes maintenance easier, but in reality, the reactor performance has decreased. Further improvements will be made to the reactor performance based on such a configuration through flow guidance using baffles.

Biofilm mass transfer and thermodynamic constraints shape biofilm in trickle bed reactor syngas biomethanation

Syngas (H2, CO2, CO) produced thermochemically from lignocellulosic biomass is an underexploited source for resource recovery and valorisation through its biological conversion for the production of a wide range of chemicals and fuels. Syngas biomethanation is one such promising bioconversion pathway, displaying interesting features such as high conversion efficiency and product selectivity, as methane is the sole product of the process. The biological conversion of syngas to high purity biomethane is still typically associated with a number of challenges related to the syngas composition, CO toxicity, and gas–liquid mass transfer limitations. In this work, the syngas biomethanation process carried out in trickle bed reactors was investigated at its boundary conditions to explore the limits of the process, focusing on syngas composition and mass-transfer conditions potentially limiting process performance. The process was found to be robust when exposed to CO excess, but highly sensitive to H2 excess, which caused severe inhibition even under small amounts of excess H2. This implies that biomethane purity comparable to natural gas can be achieved by addition of renewable H2, but this requires precise control to avoid process failure. Modulating the liquid recirculation rate and gas residence time allowed for a maximum methane productivity of 9.8 ± 0.5 mmol CH4 h−1 Lreactor−1 with full conversion of H2 and CO at a gas residence time of 1 h. Nevertheless, increasing the gas–liquid mass transfer with increasing liquid recirculation rate did not lead to increased methane productivity, which suggested additional rate-limiting bottlenecks in the process. Careful investigation of other factors potentially limiting the process led to the conclusion that diffusive transport of syngas components in the biofilm was the main bottleneck of the process. This diffusive limitation leads to a scenario of severe substrate scarcity in the biofilm phase that conditions the thermodynamic feasibility of the different biochemical reactions involved in syngas biomethanation. In turn, these thermodynamic constraints were found to drive the stratification of microbial groups and sequential consumption of syngas components along the height of the reactor

Preparation of “dry water”-type liquid marbles with enhanced mechanical stability and CO2 capture performance

Liquid marbles(LMs) are formed by encapsulating liquid with hydrophobic particles showed potential application in capturing CO2. However, conventional LMs are mostly millimeter scale and easily deformed by extrusion. This study aimed to enhance the mechanical stability by controlling the particle size to prepare “dry water” type LMs (DWLMs). The N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) solution was used as the core in constructing DWLMs, and SiO2/graphene(GPE) was used as the shell material. The incorporation of GPE can endow DWLMs with photothermal conversion properties, with a particle size distribution around 100 ∼ 250 μm occupying the largest volume fraction. These DWLMs exhibited good flow ability and mechanical stability. Moreover, the effects of MDEA concentration, and content of SiO2/ GPE on the preparation of DWLMs were investigated. Under an illumination intensity of 1 × 106 Lux, the temperature of DWLMs reached above 95 °C. Subsequently, the absorption performance was examined by a fixed-bed absorption tower, and it was found that decreasing the droplet size can increase the gas–liquid mass transfer area to reduce the mass transfer resistance. The height of the fixed bed constructed by DWLMs was higher than 7 cm, and the bottom particles can still maintain stability without agglomeration and blocking the supporting mesh. The breakthrough point (t0.5 and t0.95) of large-DWLMs (L-DWLMs) were greater than that of tiny-DWLMs (T-DWLMs). The absorption kinetics have validated that chemisorption is the primary mode of CO2 absorption. In desorption process, the results showed that the desorption of CO2 was realized by photothermic desorption, and the desorbed DWLMs were regenerated and recycled, which could prevent the corrosion of the device as well as utilize the energy provided by the sunlight.

Metabolic Versatility of acetogens in syngas Fermentation: Responding to varying CO availability.

Syngas fermentation using acetogenic bacteria offers a promising route for sustainable chemical production. However, gas-liquid mass transfer limitations and efficient co-utilization of CO and H2 pose significant challenges. This study investigated the kinetics of syngas conversion to acetate by Acetobacterium wieringae and Clostridium species in batch conditions under varying initial CO partial pressures (19 - 110 kPa) in batch cultures. A. wieringae strains, exhibited superior growth in all gas compositions, with a maximum growth rate of 0.104 h-1. The distinct CO, H2, and CO2 consumption patterns revealed metabolic flexibility and adaptation to varying syngas compositions. Notably, A. wieringae strains and C. autoethanogenum achieved complete CO and H2 conversion, with C. autoethanogenum also exhibiting net CO2 uptake. These findings provide valuable insights into the distinct metabolic capabilities of these acetogens and contribute to the development of efficient and sustainable syngas fermentation processes.

Enhancement of H2-water mass transfer using methyl-modified hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles for efficient microbial CO2 reduction

Inorganic-microbial hybrid catalysis is an emerging technology that uses electrical energy to drive microorganisms to reduce CO2 into high value-added compounds, and it has broad application prospects in CO2 reduction. However, the low current density (production yield) limits its practical application. Hydrogen-mediated inorganic-microbial hybrid catalysis system can achieve higher current density, but it is limited by low H2 mass transfer. Here, silica nanoparticles were used to enhance the hydrogen mass transfer for highly efficient CO2 reduction. Solid silica (SN), mesoporous silica (MSN), hollow mesoporous silica (HMSN), and methyl-modified hollow mesoporous silica (MHMSN) were firstly prepared and tested for the enhancement of hydrogen mass transfer. Of these, MHMSN nanoparticles at a concentration of 0.3 wt% were the best at enhancing gas-liquid mass transfer, the volumetric mass transfer coefficient (KLa) and saturated dissolved hydrogen concentration of H2 are 0.53 min-1 and 1.81 mg l-1, respectively. Compared with the control group without added nanoparticles, MHMSN significantly increased the solubility and KLa of H2. This can be attributed that the addition of MHMSN promoted the detached process of hydrogen bubbles from the electrode surface, which made the diameter of hydrogen bubbles smaller, increased the gas-liquid mass transfer area, and strengthened the mass transfer process of H2. Furthermore, it was added to the inorganic-microbial hybrid catalysis system to effectively promote the microbial carbon reduction process, achieving a polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) yield of up to 700 mg l-1, and the electron utilization rate and CO2 conversion rate were 51 % and 58 % higher than the control group, respectively. These results demonstrated that the addition of MHMSN is an effective approach to enhancing the performance of H2-mediated inorganic-microbial hybrid catalysis system.

Innovative system to maximize methane production from fruit and vegetable waste.

Anaerobic digestion of fruit and vegetable waste (FVW) offers an environmentally friendly alternative for waste disposal, converting it into methane for energy recovery. Typically, FVW digestion is conducted in a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) due to its ease of use and stability with solid concentrations between 5 and 10%. However, CSTRs are limited to organic loading rates (OLRs) of about 3kg COD/m3.day, resulting in large reactor volumes, low methane productivity, and costly wet digestate handling. This work introduces a novel method for methane production from FVW using a high-rate reactor system. The proposed approach involves grinding, centrifuging, and/or pressing the FVW to separate it into liquid and solid phases. The liquid phase is then digested in an up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor, while the solid phase undergoes digestion in a dry methanization reactor. A model incorporating all biological reactors was implemented in the Anaerobic Digestion Model 1 (ADM1) to provide a theoretical basis for the experimental development of this system. The current simulation scenarios offer initial references for operating the experimental system, which will, in turn, generate data for further model refinement. For instance, constrained liquid-gas mass transfer was considered for dry fermentation, with additional potential biochemical kinetic limitations to be incorporated following on experimental evidence. The success of this system could enable energy recovery in 72 Central Wholesale Markets across Brazil, offering a critical tool for planning, operating, and optimizing such systems.

A Critical Review of Deep Oxidation of Gaseous Volatile Organic Compounds via Aqueous Advanced Oxidation Processes.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are considered to be the most recalcitrant gaseous pollutants due to their high toxicity, diversity, complexity, and stability. Gas-solid catalytic oxidation methods have been intensively studied for VOC treatment while being greatly hampered by energy consumption, catalyst deactivation, and byproduct formation. Recently, aqueous advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have attracted increasing interest for the deep oxidation of VOCs at room temperature, owing to the generation of abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, current reviews mainly focus on VOC degradation performance and have not clarified the specific reaction process, degradation products, and paths of VOCs in different AOPs. This study systematically reviews recent advances in the application of aqueous AOPs for gaseous VOC removal. First, the VOC gas-liquid mass transfer and chemical oxidation processes are presented. Second, the latest research progress of VOC removal by various ROS is reviewed to study their degradation performances, pathways, and mechanisms. Finally, the current challenges and future strategies are discussed from the perspectives of synergistic oxidation of VOC mixtures, accurate oxidation, and resource utilization of target VOCs via aqueous AOPs. This perspective provides the latest information and research inspiration for the future industrial application of aqueous AOPs for VOC waste gas treatment.

Enhanced carbon sequestration via phosphogypsum utilization in conjunction with concrete wastewater treatment

The simultaneous utilization of concrete wastewater (CW) and phosphogypsum (PG) to mineralize CO2 for carbon reduction is a green and low-carbon treatment method. In this work, the combined carbonation process of CW and PG and the role of ammonia as an additive were investigated. The addition of ammonia balances the excess anions, inhibits CaCO3 resolvation, and enhances the gas–liquid mass transfer. The higher pH and ionic strength of CW help to accelerate the PG dissolution and increase the PG conversion rate. Simultaneously, a decalcification efficiency of 100 % for CW and a PG conversion rate of 98.00 % were achieved. This process resulted in a CO2 capture of 215.76 g CO2/kg PG, with the pH of the synergistically treated wastewater ranging from 6.43 to 7.54. Additionally, the common ionic effect of Ca2+ and SO42−, the salting effect of CW, and the salting-out effect of CO2 influenced the reaction. The formation of vaterite under pressurized conditions was primarily governed by pH, which played a key role in determining the crystal morphology. The interaction between CW and PG was further confirmed in 5 L scale-up experiments, during which ammonia recycling was also achieved. This study fully utilized CW, combining it with PG to efficiently repurpose wastewater and solid waste for resource recovery.

Development and validation of a 1D gas–liquid model for dissolved Mn(II) removal by oxidation process in a square bubble column

Modeling multiphase reactors requires an in-depth multidisciplinary analysis of various phenomena including the chemical kinetics, oxygen mass transfer, as well as the simulation of flows within these contactors. In this study, a 1D model of two-phase flow for Mn(II) removal from drinking water by aeration process is developed and validated. This model is based on the Eulerian description of two-phase gas–liquid flow with the comparison between a one-medium bubble size and a two-bubble class description to represent the bubble population in the heterogeneous flow regime. All the relevant chemical species are simulated by coupling hydrodynamics, gas–liquid mass transfer, and reaction kinetic. A pseudo-first-order model accounting for homogeneous and heterogeneous kinetics is considered for Mn(II) oxidation. The performance of the developed 1D model is compared and validated with experimental data. The 1D model was able to predict quantitatively Mn oxidation as a function of pH, initial Mn(II) and initial Mn(IV) concentrations.

Hydrogenation process intensification of 2-nitro-4-acetylamino anisole by HiGee technology

The catalytic hydrogenation of 2-nitro-4-acetylamino anisole (NMA) is the main path to synthesize 2-amino-4-acetylamino anisole (AMA), belonging to a typical gas-liquid-solid system. However, the small mass transfer rate of traditional hydrogenation reactor can't match its intrinsic fast reaction rate, resulting in the low hydrogenation efficiency. In this work, a rotating packed bed (RPB) reactor with excellent mass transfer performance was applied for the hydrogenation process intensification of NMA. The characterization analysis of the commercial Raney-Ni catalyst shows that the liquid-solid mass transfer resistance during the reaction process can be ignored, and improving the gas-liquid mass transfer rate is the key to improve the macroscopic reaction rate. The effects of operating conditions (solvent, rotational speed, hydrogen pressure, temperature, and catalyst dosage) on NMA conversion and AMA selectivity were investigated. A macro-kinetic equation of NMA catalytic hydrogenation in the RPB reactor was proposed. Under optimized conditions, the NMA was completely converted in the RPB reactor within 30 min, while it took 4 h in the stirred tank reactor. The overall reaction efficiency of RPB reactor was increased by 87.5 % in comparison with STR. This study provides practical guidance for the industrial application of RPB reactor for gas-liquid-solid hydrogenation.

Bubble characteristics in a novel microbubble gas-liquid-solid fluidized bed

The bubble characteristics are critical in gas-liquid-solid fluidized beds and microbubbles significantly enhance mass transfer in multiphase systems. In this work, a novel concept of microbubble gas-liquid-solid fluidized bed is proposed. Telecentric camera is employed to measure and analyze the microbubble characteristics including bubble size and gas holdup in this three-phase fluidized bed. Additionally, solid holdups in the fluidized bed are also examined. The results demonstrate that the bubble size adheres a lognormal distribution and is significantly influenced by superficial gas velocity. Bubble diameter exhibit a relatively uniform distribution in the radial direction. Bubbles exceeding than 1 mm substantially affect local gas holdup, and the microbubble flow promotes a more uniform distribution of local gas holdup in radial position. The average gas holdup deviation is less than 15 % compared to overall gas holdup obtained from pressure drop. Although microbubbles are more abundant, larger bubbles (> 1 mm) contribute more to solid particle fluidization. This paper introduces a methodology for assessing smaller-sized microbubbles in three-phase flow. The hydrodynamic analysis of the microbubble gas-liquid-solid fluidized bed establishes a foundational framework for enhancing gas-liquid mass transfer in fluidized bed.

Evaluation of the performance of new plastic packing materials from plastic waste in biotrickling filters for odour removal

The gas emissions from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) contain multiple chemical compounds, such as H2S, NH3 and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can cause odour nuisance and health hazards. Biological technologies, such as biotrickling filters (BTFs), are preferred due to their cost-effectiveness and eco-friendliness. The selection of the packing materials in these bioreactors is crucial due to their high purchase cost, frequent replacement and impact on the gas-liquid mass transfer. This research aims at evaluating the NH3, H2S and VOC abatement performance of novel packing materials from plastic byproducts from the water cycle at different gas residence times (EBRT). The experimental set-up consisted of three BTFs of 2 L of working volume constructed with three different packing materials: commercial Pall rings (control), recycled plastic (from bottle caps), and extruded recycled plastic materials in the form of an optimised 3D-printed carrier. The three BTFs supported a complete removal of H2S and NH3 at EBRTs of 30, 15, 10 and 6 s, and VOCs removal above 90 % at EBRTs of 30 and 15 s. The extruded recycled plastic materials in the form of optimised 3D-printed carrier supported toluene and α-pinene removals of 100 % at EBRTs of 30 and 15 s. The genus Thiobacillus was identified in the three BTFs. This research confirmed the potential of reused and recycled plastics from the integral water cycle as a packing material in BTFs devoted to odour treatment.

Deep deoxidation of water in a miniaturized annular rotating device: Experimental investigation and machine learning modeling

Conventional gas–liquid devices exhibit limitations, including inadequate dispersion efficiency and significant backmixing, leading to low conversion and large equipment volume. Thus, a miniaturized annular rotating device (m-ARD) was proposed based on microscale effects and rotating flow field to achieve efficient gas–liquid mass transfer and high conversion. Nitrogen-oxygenated water was selected as the experimental system to evaluate the performance of the m-ARD. The gas–liquid flow characteristics were investigated. The analysis focused on examining the impact of different factors on deoxygenation efficiency. The deoxygenation performance was optimized and compared with different devices. The study found that the m-ARD enables a continuous counter-current gas–liquid flow mode, with superior mixing performance and a narrow residence time distribution. The deoxygenated water with an oxygen concentration as low as 0.14 ppm can be produced, with a volumetric mass transfer coefficient (kLa) of 0.26 s−1, a theoretical stage value of 4.22, and a handling capacity of 30 mL/min under optimized experimental conditions. In addition, kLa was predicted using an artificial neural network model and showed good agreement with the simulated values. This work provides a promising reactor for chemical reactions that require high conversions.

Investigation of gas-liquid mass transfer in slurry systems driven by the coaxial mixer

The coaxial mixer was applied to the gas-liquid mass transfer process in slurry systems containing up to 8 vol% solids. The effects of impeller type, impeller speed, solid content, and gas flow rate were examined, and a correlation for the volumetric mass transfer coefficient was established. The findings indicate that at identical impeller speeds, the combination of an anchor and Rushton turbine exhibited the highest volumetric mass transfer coefficient and gas hold-up among coaxial mixers. However, when the pitched blade turbine with a down-pumping direction was utilized as the inner impeller, the coaxial mixer demonstrated superior performance under the same power consumption conditions. Additionally, the lower anchor speed was found to improve gas-liquid mass transfer, whereas a higher speed would lead to poor dispersion of gas phase, thereby deteriorating the performance of coaxial mixers. Increasing solid content caused a continuous decline in both the volumetric mass transfer coefficient and gas hold-up, while a rise in gas flow rate had the positive effect. Finally, the correlation developed for the volumetric mass transfer coefficient in slurry systems showed a deviation of less than 20% between predicted and measured values.

Numerical simulation on gas-liquid two phase flow in the U-type pipe

Abstract An effective way to improve the formation of gas hydrate is to increase the gas-liquid contact area, which can also improve the gas-liquid heat and mass transfer efficiency. Designed a natural gas hydrate formation flow experimental device, and a set of folding pipes are the gas hydrate formation units. The folding pipe hydrate formation units are composed of many U-type pipes, which are the main carrier of hydrate formation. The gas-liquid flow law in the U-type pipe has the great significance on gas hydrate formation. The gas-liquid two phase flow in a single U-type pipe has been simulated by Fluent, gas distribution rule and flow characteristics in the U-type pipe has been investigated. The range of the entrance gas volume fraction is 0.1～0.6. Calculation results show that there is a certain degree of mixture between gas and liquid in the former straight section. The gas and liquid began to layer in the front of bend, the gas and liquid stratified obviously in the process of bend. The gas and liquid began to mix in the later straight section, but the degree of mixture is lower than the former. The liquid and gas flow phenomenon is different with disparate gas volume fraction. The gas and liquid stratified more obviously in the bend with the higher gas volume fraction. The law that the gas and liquid have a better mixture when gas volume fraction change range is 0.2～0.4 has been found, which is beneficial to hydrate formation.

Research on mercury re-release model in wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) in coal-fired power plants

Mercury (Hg), a toxic heavy metal, has triggered regulations for emission control from coal-fired power plants. It has been found that mercury re-release occurs in WFGD slurry, which is affected by WFGD process parameters. The coal co-combustion with bromide technology proves to be an efficient approach for enhancing mercury removal ratio but the accumulation of introduced bromine in WFGD slurry would impact the re-emission behavior of mercury significantly. Model study is efficient method to reveal the physicochemical processes in WFGD systems. However, previous model studies were carried out under Hg2+ contained simulated slurry systems without consideration of Hg2+ transformation process from gas to liquid phase, and co-combustion with bromide technology was not considered. Here, a model which encompasses droplets motion sub-model, gas–liquid heat transfer sub-model, gas–liquid mass transfer sub-model and the mercury re-release kinetic sub-model is developed and validated against experimental data. The effects of bromine concentration, slurry temperature, pH value and S(IV) concentration were investigated. It was found that introduced bromine has significant inhibitory effects on the re-release of mercury. When the slurry temperature is higher, the absorption rate of Hg2+ is lower and more Hg0 is released. Moreover, the increase in the slurry pH value and S(IV) concentration has certain inhibitory effects on the re-release of Hg0 in WFGD. Above all, the developed model has high prediction accuracy for the absorption of Hg2+ and the re-release of Hg0 in WFGD which is expected to be beneficial for guiding the operation of WFGD systems.

Numerical simulation of hydrate flow in gas-dominated undulating pipes considering nucleation and deposition behaviors

The distribution and deposition of hydrates in deep-water gas transportation pipelines are crucial for safety. Current simulations of hydrate flow based on the population balance model have predominantly focused on water-dominant systems and neglect the nucleation and deposition of hydrates. By establishing a model for a hydrate flow in a gas-dominant system that considers the uneven distribution of the liquid film on the wall, hydrate nucleation, gas–liquid mass transfer, particle adhesion and aggregation, and dynamic deposition, we achieved simulation of the entire process of hydrate formation, aggregation, breakage, and deposition. Simulations in undulating pipelines were carried out to investigate the effects of gas velocity, liquid injection, pressure, and pipeline structure on distribution patterns. The results showed increasing the gas velocity enhanced the dispersion of particles and increasing the pressure increased the rate of aggregation. The formation of blocky aggregates posed significant risk in the rear section of the lower-bend pipe.

Genome-resolved metagenomics reveals the nitrifiers enrichment and species succession in activated sludge under extremely low dissolved oxygen

Nitrification, a process carried out by aerobic microorganisms that oxidizes ammonia to nitrate via nitrite, is an indispensable step in wastewater nitrogen removal. To facilitate energy and carbon savings, applying low dissolved oxygen (DO) is suggested to shortcut the conventional biological nitrogen removal pathway, however, the impact of low DO on nitrifying communities within activated sludge is not fully understood. This study used genome-resolved metagenomics to compare nitrifying communities under extremely low- and high-DO. Two bioreactors were parallelly operated to perform nitrification and DO was respectively provided by limited gas-liquid mass transfer from the atmosphere (AN reactor, DO < 0.1 mg/L) and by sufficient aeration (AE reactor, DO > 5.0 mg/L). Low DO was thought to limit nitrifiers growth; however, we demonstrated that complete nitrification could still be achieved under the extremely low-DO conditions, but with no nitrite accumulation observed. Kinetic analysis showed that after long-term exposure to low DO, nitrifiers had a higher oxygen affinity constant and could maintain a relatively high nitrification rate, particularly at low levels of DO (<0.2 mg/L). Community-level gene analysis indicated that low DO promoted enrichment of nitrifiers (the genera Nitrosomonas and Nitrospira, increased by 2.3- to 4.3-fold), and also harbored with 2.3 to 5.3 times higher of nitrification functional genes. Moreover, 46 high-quality (>90 % completeness and <5 % contamination) with 3 most abundant medium-quality metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) were retrieved using binning methods. Genome-level phylogenetic analysis revealed the species succession within nitrifying populations. Surprisingly, compared to DO-rich conditions, low-DO conditions were found to efficiently suppressed the ordinary heterotrophic microorganisms (e.g., the families Anaerolineales, Phycisphaerales, and Chitinophagales), but selected for the specific candidate denitrifiers (within phylum Bacteroidota). This study provides new microbial insights to demonstrate that low-DO favors the enrichment of autotrophic nitrifiers over heterotrophs with species-level successions, which would facilitate the optimization of energy and carbon management in wastewater treatment.

Investigation on the multi-scale interactions in gas–liquid jet bubbling reactor

Due to the unreliability of the mechanical seal of the mechanical stirring reactor in traditional carbonyl synthesis reactions, a gas–liquid jet bubbling reactor has been developed that is a new type of hydraulic stirring. A cold model device was constructed to address the complex flow field characteristics of a gas–liquid jet bubbling reactor, and a gas–liquid phase testing method was established to obtain the gas–liquid phase flow parameters in the cold model device. A mathematical model of a cold model device was established based on computational fluid dynamics. The reliability and accuracy of the calculation model were verified by combining experimental data of the cold model device, and the gas–liquid two-phase flow characteristics of an industrial grade reactor were obtained. The multiscale characteristics of gas–liquid two-phase signals in industrial reactors and the multiscale gas–liquid two-phase interactions were analyzed by combining wavelet analysis, power spectrum analysis, and fractal analysis. Based on the multiscale gas–liquid interaction mechanism model of gas–liquid interaction, the liquid phase interaction in d1-d6 inside the reactor was increased. The gas–liquid mass transfer process was enhanced, and the liquid level fluctuation and temperature difference of industrial grade reactors were significantly reduced.
