Abstract

The values of effective interfacial area, a, and liquid side mass transfer coefficient, kLa, were obtained in 0.385, 0.57 and 1.0 m i.d. horizontal agitated contactors by using chemical methods. Propeller type of impellers were employed for agitation. Two modes of operation were studied: (i) surface aeration and (ii) sparging of gas. The impeller speed was varied from 50 to 700 rev/min, and the nozzle gas velocity was varied from 40 to 160 m/s. The effects of impeller spacing, liquid submergence and nozzle gas velocity on the values of a and kLa were investigated. A scale-up criterion is discussed.
