The gas-liquid volumetric mass transfer coefficient was determined by the dynamic oxygen absorption technique using a polarographic dissolved oxygen probe and the gas-liquid interfacial area was measured using dual-tip conductivity probes in a bubble column slurry reactor. Feed-forward back propagation neural network models were employed to predict the gas-liquid volumetric mass transfer coefficient and liquid-side mass transfer coefficient for Alcohol/Ether fuel direct synthesis system in a commercial-scale bubble column slurry reactor. And the effects of various axial locations, superficial gas velocity and solid concentration on the gas-liquid volumetric mass transfer coefficient kLaL and liquid-side mass transfer coefficient kL were discussed in detail in the range of operating variables investigated.

The RH process is a secondary refining process that can simultaneously attain significant levels of removal of interstitial elements, such as carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen, from liquid steel. In the RH process, the decarburization rate plays a very important role in determining the productivity of the equipment. The kinetics of this reaction is controlled by mass transfer in the liquid phase. In the present work, a physical model of a RH degasser has been built and used in the study of the kinetics of decarburization. The effects of the gas flow rate and of the configurations of the nozzles used in the injection of the gas have been analyzed. The decarburization reaction of liquid steel was simulated using a reaction involving CO2 and caustic solutions. The concentration of CO2 in the solution was evaluated using pH measurements. Based on the experimental results, it was possible to estimate the reaction rate constant. A volumetric mass transfer coefficient was then calculated based on these rate constants and on the circulation rate of the liquid. The logarithm of the mass transfer coefficient showed a linear relationship with the logarithm of the gas flow rate. The slope of the line was found to vary according to the relevance of the reaction at the free surface in the vacuum chamber. A linear relationship between the volumetric mass transfer coefficient and the nozzle Reynolds number was also observed. The slopes of the lines changed according to the relative importance of the two reaction sites, gas-liquid interface in the upleg snorkel and in the vacuum. At higher Reynolds number, the reaction in the vacuum chamber tends to be more significant.

The isotherms and kinetics of zinc adsorption from aqueous solution onto granular activated carbon (GAC) and natural zeolite were studied using an agitated batch adsorber. The maximum adsorption capacities of GAC and natural zeolite towards zinc(II) from Langmuir adsorption isotherms were determined using experimental adsorption equilibrium data. The homogeneous solid diffusion model (HSD-model) combined with external mass transfer resistance was applied to fit the experimental kinetic data. The kinetics simulation study was performed using a computer program based on the proposed mathematical model and developed using gPROMS. As the two-mass transfer resistance approach was applied, two model parameters were fitted during the simulation study. External mass transfer and solid phase diffusion coefficients were obtained to predict the kinetic curves for varying initial Zn(II) concentration at constant agitation speed and constant adsorbent mass. For any particular Zn(II) - adsorbent system, k f was constant, except for the lowest initial concentration, while D s was found to increase with increasing initial Zn(II) concentration.
