Abstract

Liquid side mass transfer coefficient was measured for absorption of oxygen in non-Newtonian liquids. The experiments were carried out in a laboratory absorption bead column in which the liquid flowed over a single vertical row of spheres without vertical spaces between elements and/or with spaces of 0.2 cm between elements. The results were described by correlation equations involving dimensionless groups modified for Ellis flow model.
