Abstract

A theoretical and experimental study of interphase mass transfer in the chemosorption of carbon dioxide with alkali solutions in a membrane microbubble apparatus is presented. The main mathematical relationships for description of the microbubbling mass-exchange parameters are given. The results of experimental estimations of the interphase flow rate, the specific phase contact surface, and the mass-transfer coefficients in a microbubble apparatus with microporous ceramic membranes are described. The efficiency of interphase mass transfer is estimated.
