Determination of liquid-side and gas-side volumetric mass transfer coefficients in a bubble column

TLDR
In this paper, experiments were carried out on bubble stripping of aqueous solutions of five organic solutes and oxygen dissolved at initial concentrations ranging from 0.008 to 0.04kg⋅m-3.
Abstract
Experiments were carried out on bubble stripping of aqueous solutions of five organic solutes and oxygen dissolved at initial concentrations ranging from 0.008 to 0.04kg⋅m-3. Little interaction was found to exist among the solutes, as far as gas holdup and overall volumetric mass transfer coefficients at low concentrations are concerned. The liquid-side and gas-side volumetric mass transfer coefficients were obtained from measured overall coefficients. Correlations for the liquid-side volumetric mass transfer coefficients were obtained in terms of liquid-phase diffusivity and gas flow rate for two types of gas spargers: single-nozzle and porous-tube spargers. Correlations for the gas-side volumetric mass transfer coefficients were also obtained for these spargers.
