Title: | Hydrodynamics of a self-agitated draft tube airlift reactor | Authors: | Tekić, Miodrag Šijački, Ivana Tokić, Milenko Kojić, Predrag Petrović, Dragan Lukić, Nataša Popović, Svetlana |
Issue Date: | 2014 | Publisher: | Belgrade: Association of the Chemical Engineers of Serbia | Journal: | Chemical Industry and Chemical Engineering Quarterly | Abstract: | The main hydrodynamic characteristics of a novel-constructed, self-agitated draft tube airlift reactor (DT-ALR) were investigated. Ten impellers, driven only by means of gas throughput and induced liquid circulation, were inserted in the draft tube. The insertion of impellers caused bubble breakup and reduction of both mean bubble size and coalescence, even under the conditions of high gas throughputs. Although the impellers induced energy losses, the resistance to the flow was relatively lower due to their rotation, unlike the internals used in other research reported in the literature. In comparison to the conventional configuration of a DT-ALR, it was found that the presence of impellers led to significant changes in hydrodynamics: riser gas holdup and mixing time increased, while overall gas holdup and liquid velocity in the downcomer decreased. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/7273 | ISSN: | 14519372 | DOI: | 10.2298/CICEQ120627102T |
