The present research investigated the effect of solid properties on the gas holdup of the fluidization bed bubble columns (FBCS). All experiments were performed in the constant clear tap water of 80 cm height. The range of solid particle diameters was 0.7 – 2 mm with two different densities of 1075 and 1200 kg/m3, superficial air velocities 4 – 7 cm/s. It was observed that there are proportional relationships between superficial gas velocity and particle diameter with the gas holdup. While an inverse relationship between solid concentration and particle density with the gas holdup. Mathematical and statistical analysis was also used as a powerful way to represent the gas hold up as a function of different operating conditions.

In this study, the gas holdup of bubble swarms in shear-thinning fluids was experimentally studied at superficial gas velocities ranging from 0.001 to 0.02 m·s−1. Carboxylmethyl cellulose (CMC) solutions of 0.2 wt%, 0.6 wt%, and 1.0 wt% with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as the surfactant were used as the power-law (liquid phase), and nitrogen was used as the gas phase. Effects of SDS concentration, rheological behavior, and physical properties of the liquid phase and superficial gas velocity on gas holdup were investigated. Results indicated that gas holdup increases with increasing superficial gas velocity and decreasing CMC concentration. Moreover, the addition of SDS in CMC solutions increased gas holdup, and the degree increased with the surfactant concentration. An empirical correlation was proposed for evaluating gas holdup as a function of liquid surface tension, density, effective viscosity, rheological property, superficial gas velocity, and geometric characteristics of bubble columns using the experimental data obtained for the different superficial gas velocities and CMC solution concentrations with different surfactant solutions. These proposed correlations reasonably fitted the experimental data obtained for gas holdup in this system.

For measuring local phase fractions in 2- and 3-phase bubble columns, an X-ray tomographic measurement system is applied. This measurement technique, also referred to as Computer Tomography or CT, is based on the attenuation of X-rays along their path through the bubble column. An X-ray source and an X-ray detector are mounted on opposite sides of the bubble column. The bubble column is irradiated by an X-ray fan beam perpendicular to the bubble column axis. The X-ray intensity measured by each detector pixel is an integral measure for the penetrated material along the path of the X-rays. By rotating the X-ray source and X-ray detector around the bubble column axis, multiple projection measurements of the measurement plane are collected. In a second step, the phase distribution in the measurement plane (the so-called CT-slice) is calculated from the projection measurements by applying mathematical reconstruction algorithms. The reconstructed phase fractions are time-averaged over the measurement interval of 200 seconds for the measurements presented in this work. In order to distinguish all 3 phases, a special dual-energy technique is used. In this technique, 2 separate CT measurements are conducted successively, applying 2 different X-ray wavelengths. By combining the information gained from these 2 measurements, all 3 phase fractions are determined for every image pixel. The local phase fractions of all 3 phases are measured simultaneously for the whole cross-section. The measurement technique is fully non-intrusive. It is not restricted to limited ranges of phase fractions, solid loadings or flow rates of any of the phases. A 244 mm diameter, 7 m high bubble column is examined. It can be operated either with only 2 phases (liquid and gas) or with additional solid particles. Measurements are conducted with air as gas, water as liquid and PVC particles as solid phase. In this paper, the measurement principle of the tomographic technique and the dual-energy algorithm are explained. The experimental setup is described and the results of the measurements are presented.
