Unique Physical Property

Nanomaterial has unique physical property which made it important for many applications and that is why the use of nanomaterials rapidly increasing in the field of science and engineering.1 . This work focuses on mass transfer of solids into liquid in three phase fluidized beds in presence of nanomaterial. This include the study of effect of gas velocity, time and different concentration of nanomaterials on mass transfer coefficient in stagnant liquid column in three phase fluidized bed system. To measure coefficient of the mass transfer, known quantity of solid pellets ie benzoic acid and known amount of nanomaterial fraction ie Arachitol nano were charged in the test column of three phase fluidized bed system. At the beginning of each run, test section was partially filled with water which prevent breakage of particles. The experiments were conducted by sequentially varying gas velocity for different volumes of nanomaterial and measuring the rate of mass transfer by collecting samples directly from the outlet ports at the top subsequently analysed by volumetric titration method. The results show enhancement in mass transfer coefficient by addition of nanomaterials. Arachitol nano has been taken in different volumes ie 3ml, 7ml, 10ml and 20ml in (GLS) gas ,liquid and solid fluidized bed with air, water and benzoic acid pellets as three phases respectively in the system. The presence of nanomaterial increases the solid liquid mass transfer coefficient value with increasing fraction of nanomaterial, increasing gas velocity and increasing time although experimental run has been taken only for one hour.

The absorption of carbon dioxide in aqueous diethanolamine solutions was carried out in a three-phase fluidized bed with inert spherical packing. The rate of absorption was calculated on the basis of measuring the concentration change in the liquid phase on-line by a conductivity probe. It was shown that the Danckwerts plot method might be successfully used to simultaneously determine the effective interfacial area and both the gas and liquid-side mass transfer coefficients. While the gas-side mass transfer coefficient is independent of the liquid flow rate, the effective interfacial area and liquid-side mass transfer coefficient increase with increasing liquid flow rate.
