Sa. Noseir et al., SOLID-LIQUID MASS-TRANSFER AT GAS SPARGED FIXED-BED OF RASCHING RINGS, International communications in heat and mass transfer, 24(5), 1997, pp. 733-740
The effect of nitrogen sparging on the rate of liquid - solid mass tra
nsfer at fixed beds of Raschig rings was studied by measuring the rate
of diffusion-controlled dissolution of a bed of copper Raschig rings
in acidified chromate solutions. Variables studied were: ring diameter
, nitrogen superficial velocity and physical properties of the solutio
n. The mass transfer data were correlated by the equation. J=0.04(Fr.R
