Notes: In this paper, the influence of carbon and silica particle slurry concentration up to 20 g/l (4 vol%) on regime transition, gas hold-up, and volumetric mass transfer coefficient is studied in a 2-dimensional slurry bubble column. From high speed video image analysis, the average large bubble diameter, the frequency of occurrence of large bubbles, the gas-liquid interfacial area, and the large bubble hold-up are obtained. The liquid side mass transfer coefficient is calculated from the volumetric mass transfer coefficient and the gas-liquid interfacial area. The lyophilic silica particles are rendered lyophobic by a methylation process to study the influence of particle wettability. The influence of organic electrolyte (sodium gluconate) and the combination of electrolyte and particles is also studied. It is found that lyophilic silica, lyophobic silica, and lyophobic carbon particles at concentrations larger than 2 g/l (0.4 vol%) decrease the gas hold-up and shift the regime transition point (where the first large bubbles appear) to a lower gas velocity. The volumetric mass transfer coefficient increases with gas velocity, increases with electrolyte concentration, decreases with slurry concentration, and is higher for lyophobic particles. The liquid side mass transfer coefficient increases with gas velocity, bubble diameter, and is higher for lyophobic particles. A correlation for the mass transfer coefficient based on dimensionless numbers is proposed for the heterogeneous regime.

Notes: A cold model of a circulating fluidized bed with a 0.030-m-ID, 2.77-m-high riser was operated in a wide range of operating conditions. Several solids were tested, from 57 μm to 1,830 μm in size and from 1,100 kg/m3 to 2,540 kg/m3 in density. Pressure fluctuations were measured at several points along the riser, and time series were processed to evaluate chaotic invariants (Kolmogorov entropy and correlation dimesion). Axial profiles of average values of pressure and voidage were also evaluated. At fixed operating conditions, the Kolmogorov entropy changed along the riser, which appeared to be a fuction of the local voidage and showed a minimum when voidage decreases from 1.00 until about 0.90. Changes of the Kolmogorov entropy with local voidage were interpreted based on interactions among solids and gas turbulence structure. Three regions were identified in the voidage range investigated: particles-controlled region, clusters-controlled region, and bottom-bed-controlled region.
