| Abstract: | Three-phase fluidized beds have been applied successfully in the bio-oxidation process for wastewater treatment in which various low-moderate density solid particles of different shape and size are used as cell support. Ceramic raschig ring possess moderate density and high surface area due to its hollow cylindrical structure, thus can be used as solid support for microorganisms, where higher mass transfer rate can be achieved. In this study the hydrodynamic characteristics viz. the pressure drop, bed expansion and phase hold up of a co-current gas-liquid-solid three-phase fluidized bed has been studied using liquid as the continuous phase and gas as the discontinuous phase. These have been done in order to develop a good understanding of each flow regime in gas-liquid and liquid-solid fluidization. Air, water and ceramic raschig rings are used as the gas, liquid and solid phases respectively. The experiments were carried out in a 100 mm ID, 2m-height vertical Plexiglas column. The co... |
