Mixing characteristics for gas-liquid system in an external-loop
air-lift column

Abstract

This paper presents the results of the experimental investigations of hydrodynamics for an external-loop air-lift column. Process characteristics (gas hold-up, liquid velocities, liquid circulation time and mixing time) were analyzed as a function of the modified Froude number. The obtained results were presented graphically and in the form of the quantitative correlations.
