Abstract The direct aqueous mineral carbonation of carbide slag was investigated. The flow characteristics of carbide slag-CO2-water reaction system in a bubble column were studied, which included the bubble Sauter mean diameter, gas holdup, bubble residence time, and the gas-liquid interfacial area. Bubble flow behaviors in the reactor were characterized by analyzing the bed pressure signals. The effects of the gas velocity (U g ) and liquid to solid ratio (L/S ratio) were discussed and analyzed. The results showed that the larger bubbles were easy to form at the larger L/S ratio, which indicated that the bubble coalescence was promoted. The gas holdup was larger when increasing U g or reducing the L/S ratio. The better gas-liquid interfacial areas were found in a wide range of L/S ratio at U g  = 0.082 m/s. The optimum conditions were found at U g  = 0.082 m/s and L/S ratio = 15–30 mL/g for the better gas-liquid interfacial area and the higher carbide slag conversion. The work provided the theoretical basis for the direct aqueous carbonation of the carbide slag and the operation condition optimization.

Bubble sizes in bubble column affect transfer processes. Therefore, it’s important to calculate bubble size and interfacial area. Bubble size distribution (BSD) in a bubble column of rectangular cross section with dimensions 0.2m x 0.02m was measured using photographic method (400 fps) for air-water system. Gas holdup, Sauter-mean bubble diameter, aspect ratio and specific interfacial area were estimated from BSD. Effect of superficial gas velocity and static bed height on these parameters was investigated. The bubble size distribution exhibited mono-modal distribution showing the presence of non-uniform homogeneous bubbling regime. The frames of video were analysed using image processing steps to obtain major and minor axis of elliptical bubbles. Values of d32, , and ai were estimated from the data. The value of d32 increased with increasing Ug but is independent of Hs. The values of d32 were somewhat higher than the values reported by other investigators. The value of ai increases with increasing Ug and with decreasing Hs. Present values of compared well with the data reported in literature.
