A comparative study has been made on the hydrodynamics and gas-liquid mass transfer performances of upflow and downflow bubble columns. Gas-liquid distributions in the column are made by an ejector system using liquid as motive fluid and gas is used as secondary fluid for both the cases. The two-phase hydrodynamic studies have been done with water and aqueous solutions of carboxy methyl cellulose at different concentrations and air as gas phase. The volumetric mass transfer coefficients have been measured by absorbing air-carbon dioxide mixture in aqueous solutions of sodium carbonate and bicarbonate. For downflow system, experiments are carried out at natural suction of air through the ejector; whereas for upflow system, air is forced through the secondary entrance of the ejector from a high pressure tank at any desired rate. The effect of gas and liquid flowrates on gas holdup, frictional pressure drop and mass transfer coefficients have been investigated. All the experiments have been performed in the homogeneous flow regime for a stable operation.

Simultaneous Heat

Packed towers can be used for solar regeneration of aqueous solutions and dehumidification of air using aqueous solutions. These processes involve simultaneous heat and mass transfer with heat effects. In order to design a packed tower for aqueous solution-air contacting operations, heat and mass transfer coefficients for each phase are required. For the present study, aqueous calcium chloride solution is used; ceramic Raschig rings and Berl saddles are used as the packing material. In this paper air phase transfer coefficients are correlated with flow rates of air and liquid and the temperature of air, whereas liquid phase coefficients are correlated with rates of air and liquid flow, and the temperature and concentration of the liquid.

Controlled Conditions

In a study of fouling of heat exchangers, aqueous solutions of CaSO4 and Li2SO4 were circulated through electrically heated tubes at controlled conditions. Measured induction periods and fouling rates of both salts were found to be primarily functions of the supersaturation of the solutions. Secondary correlating parameters were surface temperature for the Li2SO4 solutions and mass transfer coefficients for the CaSO4 solutions.

Chlorinated Organic

Both Henry's constants and volumetric mass transfer coefficients (KLa) of eight priority chlorinated organic compounds including 1,1-dichloroethene, methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, and 1,4-dichlorobenzene in an air stripping packed column were investigated in this study. The liquid and gas phase EPICS (Equilibrium Partition in Closed System) and direct calculating methods were applied to determine the Henry's constants of VOCs. The interference of co-solute on Henry's constants was also investigated. Experimental results indicated that decrease in Henry's constants of VOCs was observed in the presence of humic acid but no apparent effect on Henry's constants was detected when there was NaCl and surfactant in solution. Four different configurations of packing media including Intalox Saddle, Super Intalox Saddle, Telleret, and Hedgehog made of polypropylene were respectively packed in the air stripping tower and investigated in the study. The dependence of hydraulic loading, air-water ratio, and configurations of packing media on mass transfer coefficients of VOCs was discussed.

Sewage containing volatile contaminants is a potential VOC-source in cities. Thus we tried to evaluate volatilization out of the sewerage system by measurements of contaminants in sewer gas and sewage. Our results from a medium sized town with little industry showed that sewer gas is mainly contaminated with alkanes, small aromatic compounds and chlorinated hydrocarbons. For three chlorinated hydrocarbons (chloroform, trichloroethene, tetrachloroethene) we determined mass transfer coefficients out of sewage and used these data to estimate mass fluxes from sewage and emissions out of the sewerage system for two sewer stretches. Considerable emission of chlorinated hydrocarbons from sewage, i.e. fluxes of some 10 to 100 g per m2·d, occurred only when the contaminant input via sewage was between some g and mg per litre for a single compound. For concentrations that were about 3 orders of magnitude less, emissions were negligible.
