GAS-LIQUID MASS TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS OF LARGE-SCALE IMPELLERS: EMPIRICAL CORRELATIONS OF GAS HOLDUPS AND VOLUMETRIC MASS TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS IN STIRRED TANKS

Gas dispersion with large-scale impellers consisting of modified large paddle impellers in stirred tanks, with rather large ratios of both impeller diameter and impeller height to tank diameter, was experimentally examined in transition and turbulent mixing ranges. Gas holdups and volumetric gas-liquid mass transfer coefficients with large-scale impellers, i.e., Maxblend and Fullzone impellers, were measured in 0.31 and 0.6 m I.D. stirred tanks, and the gas dispersion performance of large-scale impellers was compared with that of double conventional small-scale high-speed impeller systems, i.e., double four-flat blade disk turbine impellers and double four-flat paddle impellers.

The gas holdups of the large-scale impellers were comparable with those of the small-scale impeller systems at a given rotational speed. The volumetric gas-liquid mass transfer coefficients for large-scale impellers were also similar to those of the small-scale impeller systems. It was found that the large-scale impellers are not more energy efficient than the small-scale impellers in obtaining good gas dispersion.

Empirical correlations for gas holdups and volumetric gas-liquid mass transfer coefficients were developed. They fit the experimental data in transition and turbulent mixing ranges reasonably well, with correlation factors greater than 0.84.

Influence of impeller type on hydrodynamics and gas‐liquid mass‐transfer in stirred airlift bioreactor

The influence of impeller type in a mechanically stirred airlift bioreactor was analyzed in relation to the non‐Newtonian viscous fluids. The agitation was carried out through a marine impeller (axial impeller) and a paddle impeller (radial impeller) located along with the gas sparger in the region comprised by the riser. The bioreactor was sparged with air under different velocities (0.036–0.060 m s^?1). Carboxymethylcellulose 1.94% and xanthan 1.80% were used as a fluid model. The gas holdup and volumetric mass‐transfer coefficient increased in up to five and three times, respectively, when compared to a conventional airlift bioreactor; however, better results were obtained when the straight paddle impeller type was used. The results suggest that the studied bioreactor can be used successfully in viscous fluid, and it can be more efficient than conventional airlift bioreactors. The results obtained suggest the use of radial impellers. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 61: 3159–3171, 2015     

Oxygen transfer to cassava starch solutions in an aerated,well-mixed bioreactor: Experimental and mass transfer studies

Experimental and mass transfer studies of oxygen transfer to cassava starch solution in an aerated, well-mixed bioreactor of 2 L have been carried out. The volumetric mass transfer coefficient was estimated and parametric studies were performed to study the effect of process variables of stirring rate, aeration rate, concentration of starch and temperature on the volumetric mass transfer coefficient. From the experimental results, it is evident that the first two and the last variables are directly proportional to the volumetric mass transfer coefficient. However, the volumetric mass transfer coefficient is inversely proportional to the concentration of the starch. Also, the saturation dissolved oxygen concentration is greatly affected by temperature and starch solution concentration. Whereas, stirring and aeration rates have neutral impacts on saturation dissolved oxygen concentration. Simulated data generated from obtained volumetric mass transfer coefficient agrees well with the experimental data, which indicates the accuracy of the coefficient.

Numerical and experimental analyses of a stirred vessel for a large volumetric flow rate of sparged air

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and experimental analyses of some of the basic characteristics of air sparging in a tall stirred vessel equipped with a three-stage impeller are presented. The impeller was assembled from a radial ABT impeller as the lower, a turbine 6PBT45 as the middle and an axial Scaba-type 3SHP1 impeller as the upper. All the impellers were of the same diameter, i.e., 225 mm, while the vessel diameter was 450 mm. The impeller's rotational speed was 178 r·min^-1. The aeration regime was established with an air volumetric flow rate of 28.3 m³·h^-1. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to consider the very high gassing rate by means of CFD in a tank stirred by three-stage axial/radial impellers. The numerical simulation was performed using the ANSYS Fluent (R17.2, 2016) code for solving the governing equations of fluid dynamics in single- and multi-phase systems. While discussing the bubble size distribution, a discrete population balance model (PBM) was used. Adopting CFD, the stirring power and the total void fraction (the total gas holdup) were calculated. The results were in good agreement with the measured values using a laboratory experimental device.

分散颗粒和超声场对鼓泡塔内传质性能的影响

用双电导探针气泡特征参数测量系统实时测定超声场与分散颗粒(活性炭)对鼓泡塔水+CO₂体系气泡Sauter直径和体积传质系数影响的变化规律。实验结果表明:无活性炭颗粒添加时,多频超声场比单频超声场更有利于提高体积传质系数,输入功率为100 W、组合超声频率为20-50-100 kHz时,体积传质系数增幅达40%~64%;加入活性炭颗粒后,体积传质系数随加入活性炭固含量的增大呈现先增大后逐渐减少的趋势,气泡Sauter直径变化规律相反,当体系中活性炭固含量为1.0 kg·m^-3时,传质增强最明显。体积传质系数随加入活性炭粒径的减小呈现增大的趋势。与无活性炭颗粒(d_s=0)比较,活性炭(固含率1.0 kg·m^-3)粒径d_s=38 μm时,液相体积传质系数在扣除吸附传质效果后仍增大1.58倍,同时引入超声场后,当组合超声频率为20-50-100 kHz,超声功率100 W时,液相体积传质系数增大2.02倍,可见超声场和分散颗粒对气液传质有显著的协同强化作用。
