Abstract

The hydrodynamic behavior of air-lift type tube reactor (ALT reactor) was investigated in laboratory and pilot scale, established theoretical models were developed for the description of superficial liquid velocity in the recycle tube and of pressure losses in the reaction tube.Using different tube sizes for recycle and reaction tubes, the next parameters were measured under various operation conditions: superficial liquid velocity in recycle tube, pressure drop, real liquid and gas velocity, minimum and maximum gas velocity in reaction tube.The new theoretical models were proved on the base of measured data with a maximum deviation of 10%.
