Authors: Anna Szczotka, Agnieszka Gąszczak, Hanna Kolarczyk, Rafał Sarzyński
Keywords: airlift reactor, hydrodynamics, gas holdup
Abstract: Basic types of airlift reactors are presented and hydrodynamic regimes of their operation are described. Influence of some parameters (gas and liquid velocity, reactor geometry and liquid properties) on gas holdup in airlift reactor is discussed. Results of gas holdup measurements in internal loop reactor are pre-sented.
