Gas‐liquid mass transfer in three‐phase fluidized beds with viscous pseudoplastic liquids

TLDR
In this article, a semi-theoretical relation for the effective shear rate of liquid phase volumetric mass transfer coefficients for oxygen was derived in three-phase fluidized beds of 8 mm glass spheres fluidized by a cocurrent flow of air and pseudoplastic polysaccharide solutions (carboxymethyl cellulose, xanthan).
Abstract
Liquid phase volumetric mass transfer coefficients for oxygen were determined in three-phase fluidized beds of 8 mm glass spheres fluidized by a cocurrent flow of air and pseudoplastic polysaccharide solutions (carboxymethyl cellulose, xanthan). A semi-theoretical relation for the effective shear rate was suggested. The mass transfer coefficients could be correlated, together with literature data for particle diameters of 3 mm and 5 mm in other liquids, using the terminal velocity as the particle-specific property.
