Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The oxidation of paraffin wax was studied under various hydrodynamic conditions in the linear air velocity range over the total section of the column of 0.05 to 0.35 m/sec. The process rate was highest at air supply rates of 0.2 m/sec and above.

  2. 2.

    It is shown that oxidation of solid paraffin wax at 130°C with a specific air flow rate of 1.08 m3/kg · h is in the kinetic region, with specific flow rate of 1.08 to 0.36 m3/kg · h in the transitional region and at flow rates below 0.27 m3/kg · h in the diffusion region.

  3. 3.

    In designing industrial foam type equipment the linear air velocity should be in the range 0.15 to 0.2 m/sec and the specific air flow rate 0.4 to 1 m3/kg · h.
