Application Of A Single-Bubble Model In Estimation Of Ozone Transfer Efficiency In Water

A single-bubble model of mass transfer in gas-liquid systems enables the estimation of transfer efficiencies under different process conditions. In particular, it can be applied to simulate the effects of bubble size, value of the mass transfer coefficient, kinetics of reactions taking place in water and depth of the contact chamber. The results of such modelling in terms of transfer efficiency are presented for physical and chemical absorption of ozone in water at different hydrodynamic conditions (bubble size, water temperature, water depth in the contact chamber, and initial ozone concentration in the bubbles). The results of computations are compared with some reference data on ozone absorption in water in industrial-scale contact chambers.
