Experimental investigation of gas-liquid mass transfer of ozone in water, in bubble column with two-fluid nozzle gas distributor (BKDM), under different operating conditions, are presented in this work. The main objective was to determine the ozone volumetric mass transfer coefficient, kL a, in calm uniform section of the column, under different values of gas and liquid flow rates. Obtained values of these coefficients were compared with the values in countercurrent bubble column. The critical liquid flowrate, when gas hold up reaches its maximum, was experimentally determined. It was shown that the maximum value of the ozone volumetric mass transfer coefficient is obtained just when liquid flowrate is at its critical value.

In this paper, the influence of carbon and silica particle slurry concentration up to 20 g/l (4 vol%) on regime transition, gas hold-up, and volumetric mass transfer coefficient is studied in a 2-dimensional slurry bubble column. From high speed video image analysis, the average large bubble diameter, the frequency of occurrence of large bubbles, the gas-liquid interfacial area, and the large bubble hold-up are obtained. The liquid side mass transfer coefficient is calculated from the volumetric mass transfer coefficient and the gas-liquid interfacial area. The lyophilic silica particles are rendered lyophobic by a methylation process to study the influence of particle wettability. The influence of organic electrolyte (sodium gluconate) and the combination of electrolyte and particles is also studied. It is found that lyophilic silica, lyophobic silica, and lyophobic carbon particles at concentrations larger than 2 g/l (0.4 vol%) decrease the gas hold-up and shift the regime transition point (where the first large bubbles appear) to a lower gas velocity. The volumetric mass transfer coefficient increases with gas velocity, increases with electrolyte concentration, decreases with slurry concentration, and is higher for lyophobic particles. The liquid side mass transfer coefficient increases with gas velocity, bubble diameter, and is higher for lyophobic particles. A correlation for the mass transfer coefficient based on dimensionless numbers is proposed for the heterogeneous regime.
