【 摘 要 】

Gas absorption accompanied by an instantaneous irreversible chemical reaction in bubble columns has been analyzed theoretically. A mass transfer model based on the Dankwerts surface-renewal model as well as the penetration theory for surface stretch proposed by Angelo et al. was developed, in which the effects of bulk motion and turbulence on mass transfer were taken into account. The analytical expressions for the time-average mass transfer coefficient and the enhancement factor have been obtained. The fast reactive absorption of SO2 from gas mixtures into aqueous NH4HCO3 solution was investigated experimentally in a bubble column reactor to validate the mass transfer model, and the results calculated by the present model agree well with the experimental results.
