Rotating packed beds have received considerable attention as a means of process intensification
for gas−liquid mass transfer over the past 2 decades. In this work, we take a critical view of the
developments in understanding the transport processes in rotating packed beds. The intensification achieved so far falls short of the goal of 2−3 orders of magnitude volume reduction compared
to that obtained conventional columns. The directions toward achieving this goal are outlined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
