Seeking help with the principle of mass transfer in bubble columns
Thread Content
The gas phase rises from within the bubble; how does the liquid phase descend?
Normally, it should be like this in the diagram: the vapor enters the liquid phase through the pores in the bubble cap, where gas-liquid mass transfer occurs, and then rises to the next tray via bubbling. The liquid phase enters the next tray through the overflow pipe. The gas flow rate must meet certain requirements; otherwise, liquid leakage will occur. It’s the newcomer’s first reply; let’s encourage each other.
There are four types of tray designs: floating valve, floating tongue, bubble cap, and sieve tray. In all cases, it is necessary for the gas and liquid flow rates to be equal; otherwise, liquid leakage or flooding may occur. Newcomers’ answers may not be accurate; decide as you see fit:P:P:P
