THREE-PHASE, FLUID DISPERSE SYSTEMS FOR GAS/LIQUID COUNTERCURRENT CONTACTING

Abstract

There are numerous unit operations in the field of chemical engineering (such as absorption, desorption, scrubbing, distillation, etc.) which can only be carried out if gas (vapour)/liquid contacting is applied. The main dimension of the operating equipment depends on the diffusion rate. The application of three-phase, fluid disperse systems yields much better results than the use of traditional fixed bed columns.
