Application of Kolmogorofff's theory to particle—liquid mass transfer in agitated vessels

Influence of hydrodynamic conditions on naphthalene dissolution and subsequent biodegradation

“…Mass transfer coefficients at a certain value of the Reynolds number will therefore be lower for suspended crystalline particles compared to the present system. However, in the field of chemical technology several mathematical relations have been proposed to quantify the hydrodynamic conditions in suspensions as a function of reactor geometry and energy dissipation rate (Bird et al, 1960;Levins and Glastonbury, 1972). The first-order dissolution model used in this study to describe the mass transfer of PAH from a crystalline solid to the water phase is not applicable to systems where pollutants are sorbed in porous soil particles.…”

Mass transfer between fine particles and liquids in agitated vessels.

“…For a dense suspension of fine particles, only one recent study is available. Yagi et all3) investigated the effect of particle concentration on the mass transfer Nagata and Nishikawa (j972)io) Levins and Glastonbury (1972)…”

“…One such method is a derivation from the BBO equation by Levins and Glastonbury (1972) that assumed single frequency oscillations:…”
