Effect of high solids loading on gasliquid mass transfer in an oscillatory flow...

A wide range of chemical processes involves three phases, where common systems have inefficient mixing and mass transfer is limited. This study uses the oscillatory flow reactor with smooth periodic constrictions (OFR-SPC) according to the patent EP3057694 (B1) to evaluate its potential on O2 mass transfer at high solids loading (1050 % (v/v)). For that, the effect of solids (EPS, PVC) properties (concentration...
