Abstract:The wetting efficiency and solid liquid mass transfer coefficient was measured separately and simultaneously using the electrochemical cell technique while varying the superficial liquid velocity and hydrodynamic state of the column by using different pre-wetting procedures.The wetting efficiency in columns with an aspect ratio -distance from distributor divided by column diameter -of up to 33, decreased with distance from the distributor regardless of the hydrodynamic state of the column. Although the solid l… Show more
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.
