A 5. 0 em. diameter column was used for
gas absorption. The column contained
internal baffling and was operated in a countercurrent mode.
Oxygen comprised the gaseous phase and tap water the liquid
phase. The column was operated both with and without
pulsations. The injection and exhaustion of compressed air
to the system provided the pulsation mechanism. The mixing
as well as the mass transfer characteristics were
examined. A Set of experiments independent of the mass
transfer work was carried out in order to study mixing in
the column. A refluxing mechanism is uncovered in the mixing
experiments. Values for the axial dispersion coefficient,
volumetric mass transfer coefficient and reflux ratio are
reported over the range of the operating parameters. / Thesis / Master of Engineering (MEngr)
