A dynamic method for the determination of volumetric mass transfer coefficient of oxygen, kLa, in bubble columns using an oxygen electrode was derived on the basis of a liquid phase axial dispersion model The influence of aeration startup was studied assuming that the kLa value is position and time dependent. The conditions are defined under which the influence of aeration startup and of axial mixing of the liquid upon the steady state kLa value is negligible. A critical assessment has been made of various methods proposed for evaluation of oxygen probe responses.

An axial dispersion model of a bubble column was verified by an experimental method based on pseudo-random binary signals of maximum length. The diameter of the column was 0.292 m and the height of the dispersion layer was 1.33 m. Water formed a stagnant liquid layer and a mixture of air with up to 5 vol.% of CO2 formed a streaming gas phase. The model was evaluated from the response of the bubble column to pseudo-random binary signals and from impulse characteristics calculated from this response by the correlation method. The use of the axial dispersion model with mass transfer was evaluated in dependence on the driving force.
