Effect of gas holdup enhancement using aqueous solutions of electrolyte in taper bubble column

Sumit Kumar Jana, Sudip Kumar Das

Experimental studies on gas holdup in tapered bubble column using electrolyte solutions have been reported. The effects of different operating variables such as liquid flow rate, bed height and concentration of electrolyte, etc. on the gas holdup were investigated. In our work distilled water andNaCl solutionware taken as continuous phase boundand bubbling air as discontinuous phase and flow was almost entirely heterogeneous. The hydrodynamic effects were investigated.
