Blasensäulen‐Reaktoren

Abstract
Bubble column reactors.Bubble columns and their state of development have been reviewed on numerous occasions in recent years. As an extension, this paper deals with bubble column reactors from an industrial point of view. The numerous forms of construction and modes of operation in industry can be reduced to relatively few fundamental types. Since the computerized design of bubble columns is presently restricted to a few partial processes, experience in the choice of a particular type column still plays an important role. The article deals, inter alia, with reactors (gas distribution, gas‐ and liquid‐feeds, gas separation, heat extraction), selection criteria for construction and for operating conditions, practical experience, and some specific forms of operation. Some problems still requiring scientific investigation are outlined.
