Internal-loop airlift reactor

Spatial Profiles of Gas Holdup in a Novel Internal-loop Airlift Reactor... [Pg.521]

Internal-loop airlift reactors (ALRs) are widely used for their self-induced circulation, improved mixing, and excellent heat transfer [1], This work reports on the design of an ALR with a novel gas-liquid separator and novel gas distributor. In this ALR, the gas was sparged into the annulus. The special designed gas-liquid separator, at the head of the reactor, can almost completely separate the gas and liquid even at high gas velocities. [Pg.521]

In this model, energy balances are set up for the reactor and the separator tube separately, and two equations are obtained. The gas holdup can then be obtained from combining these two equations. Details can be found in Zhang et al. [7]. The comparison between the measured and calculated cross-sectional mean gas holdups is shown in Fig. 5. It can be seen that there is a satisfactory agreement between the experimental and calculated gas holdup in the different operating conditions. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that the energy balance model used in this work can describe the circulation flow behavior in the novle internal-loop airlift reactor proposed in this work. [Pg.524]

A specially built conductivity probe was used to investigate the gas holdup in a novel internal-loop airlift reactor. The gas holdup generally increases with increasing solid holdup due to increased flow resistance. A model based on energy balance was developed that can be used to predict the average gas holdup in this novel interal-loop airlift reactor. [Pg.524]

Abstract This chapter embodies two sections. In the first section a survey of the state of the art of azo-dye conversion by means of bacteria is presented, with a focus on reactor design and operational issues. The relevance of thorough characterization of reaction kinetics and yields is discussed. The second section is focused on recent results regarding the conversion of an azo-dye by means of bacterial biofilm in an internal loop airlift reactor. Experimental results are analyzed in the light of a comprehensive reactor model. Key issues, research needs and priorities regarding bioprocess development for azo-dye conversion are discussed. [Pg.101]
