Abstract
A comprehensive study of the influence of plate geometry and the added packing on the holdup and slip velocity in reciprocating plate column s is presented. The use of packing in the interplate spaces of the col umn is of interest as packing alters the character of dispersion and a lso provides contact area for the phases. A model is proposed relating slip velocity to the single drop rise velocity taking into considerat ion the pseudo-hydrostatic effects and particle-to-particle interactio n effects.
