TL;DR: In this article, a simple model is introduced for fluid dynamic description of air-lift loop reactors, based on an energy balance which takes into account the energy losses due to friction against the device, and the energy consumed in the gas-liquid interface.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a model to predict gas hold-up and liquid velocity in air-lifted reactors and gas holdup in bubble columns over a broad range of sizes, geometrical configurations and experimental conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of impurities on the observed kinetic parameters of calcium carbonate decomposition were studied and it was found that the activation energy for calcite containing at least 98.2% of calcite is 110.5 kJ mol−1 and for calcitic calcite with 99.5% of the calcite it is 193.8 kJmol−1.

TL;DR: The kinetics of non-isothermal solid decomposition should be studied with methods which separate the influences of temperature and conversion as mentioned in this paper, and the distinct possibilities of nonisothermal techniques are briefly discussed.
