在直径Φ48mm 的鼓泡床反应器中对以醋酸钴(CO^(2+))水溶液为催化剂的甲苯液相空气氧化反应动力学进行了研究。结果表明,反应体系的活性时间随催化剂的用量的增大而线性增大,当 Co 含量大于2×10^(-2)%(mass)时,对反应影响较小。甲苯液相空气氧化反应的甲苯消耗动力学分别与甲苯浓度和氧溶解在甲苯中的浓度成一级反应.其宏观动力学活化能约为41 kJ/mol。氧在液相主体消耗的本征动力学活化能为57 kJ/mol,指前因子53.34m^3/(mol·s)。通过 Ha 数和效率因子η对反应动力学控制步骤进行分析,结果表明,Ha 小于0.1,η为0.606～0.728。反应主要发生在液相主体,受动力学控制,但传质仍对反应有影响。
Bubble dispersion greatly relies on spargers. Single or ifice and porous spargers were tested inside a bubble column under a low gas thr oughput to study their influences on gas dispersion and gas-liquid interface ar ea. A PBE model without considering the effect of bubble coalescence was develo ped to describe axial bubble distribution. Both simulation and experimental res ults showed that bubbles broke up much faster than coalesced under low gas veloc ity. For a single orifice sparger, breakage was a dominant feature for bubbles after they left the orifice. Initial bubbles formed over the orifice were mostl y larger than the largest stable bubble. They broke up quickly and their sizes were reduced below the maximum diameter d_s of stable bubbles. In contrast , a porous sparger produced a large amount of initial bubbles smaller than the l argest stable bubble. The bubbles possessed smaller size and narrower distribut ion compared with the bubbles obtained by single orifice spargers. With the por ous sparger, gas-liquid surface area was increased by 5—6 times even though th e gas holdup changed insignificantly. High mass transfer area could be obtained by injecting more small initial bubbles with diameters under d_s.
