| Abstract: | The phenomenon of semi-fluidization can be visualized as a combination of fluidized bed at the bottom and a fixed bed at the top. Such a reactor bed can be used in the bio-oxidation process for wastewater treatment in which various low-moderate density solid particles of different shape and size can be 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, formation of top packed bed and phase hold up of a co-current gas-liquid-solid three-phase semi-fluidized bed are 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 semi-fluidization. Air, water and ceramic raschig rings are used as the gas, liqui... |
