The sufficient provision of oxygen is mandatory for enzymatic oxidations in aqueous solution, however, in process optimization this still is a bottleneck that cannot be overcome with the established methods of macrobubble aeration. Providing higher mass transfer performance through microbubble aerators, inefficient aeration can be overcome or improved. Investigating the mass transport performance in a model protein solution, the microbubble aeration results in higher kLa values related to the applied airstream in comparison with macrobubble aeration. Comparing the aerators at identical kLa of 160 and 60 1/h, the microbubble aeration is resulting in 25 and 44 times enhanced gas utility compared with aeration with macrobubbles. To prove the feasibility of microbubbles in biocatalysis, the productivity of a glucose oxidase catalyzed biotransformation is compared with macrobubble aeration as well as the gas-saving potential. In contrast to the expectation that the same productivities are achieved at identically applied kLa, microbubble aeration increased the gluconic acid productivity by 32% and resulted in 41.6 times higher oxygen utilization. The observed advantages of microbubble aeration are based on the large volume-specific interfacial area combined with a prolonged residence time, which results in a high mass transfer performance, less enzyme deactivation by foam formation, and reduced gas consumption. This makes microbubble aerators favorable for application in biocatalysis.

© 2020 The Society of Chemical Engineers, Japan Many chemical and biocatalytic reactions are consuming gaseous species like oxygen, provided by the mass transfer across interfaces of multiphase contact apparatuses. For biocatalytic reactions a macroscopic aeration can lead to reduced enzyme activity by foaming and shear forces and for fast chemical reactions in multiphase flows, the mass transfer limitation is often the bottleneck for a process optimization. The present study investigates the use of bubbles with diameters less than 100 µm for aeration of a 3 L lab scale stirred tank reactor. For demineralized water and a solution of glucose and bovine serum albumin (BSA) as biocatalytic model protein solution, two different membrane spargers with a mean pore size of 1 µm and 2 µm are investigated. Determining the influence of the energy input on the hydrodynamics of the system, endoscopic measurements of bubble size distributions are carried out. The mass transfer performance of the two spargers is analyzed by measurements of the oxygen kla value for varying gas flow rates. As a result microbubble aeration shows a significant higher mass transfer performance compared to an open tube aeration saving 60% of the gaseous phase by reaching the same kla values. Besides high specific interfacial areas and long residance times, the Laplace pressure inside the bubble is identified as an enhancing force for mass transfer at microscale.

© 2020 Wiley-VCH GmbH This study investigated submicron-sized bubbles, more precisely ultrafine bubbles (UFBs). The number concentration, size, and scattered light intensity of UFBs were measured by particle tracking analysis (PTA). The results showed that storage temperature had a significant effect, whereas the storage containers had little effect on the long-term stability of UFBs. It was found that the second-order aggregation rate equation could predict the stability of UFBs; however, there were some differences from the theory at high storage temperatures. The features of the PTA were also discussed in detail.

© 2020 Wiley-VCH GmbH For a variety of applications of microbubbles, it is necessary to clarify the dissolution dynamics and the lifetime of a microbubble. Although various models have been proposed, predicting the dissolution rate of a microbubble in a static fluid with a surfactant is still difficult. In this study, dissolution behavior was predicted with taking into account the mass transfer inhibition effect due to a surfactant at the bubble surface. The shrinking behavior of an oxygen microbubble was observed with several surfactants and the experimental results were in good agreement with model predictions.

　概要を見る

Submicron-sized bubbles are now officially called ultrafine bubbles (UFBs) by the international standard. The concentration of UFBs is generally low (<109 particles/mL; <0.001 vol%) compared to other colloidal dispersions. To overcome this practical problem, we concentrated UFBs in ultrapure water prepared by a commercial UFB generator and quantified the effect of rotary evaporation of the dispersion media on the stability of UFBs. The UFB dispersions were characterized by a particle tracking analysis (PTA) instrument. The experimental results showed that the UFBs can be diluted and concentrated without changing the size distribution and there was little or no loss of UFBs. By using a rotary evaporator, UFB dispersions were about 30-fold concentrated and the resultant number concentration reached over 3 × 1010 particles/mL. Increasing the concentration of UFBs allowed for satisfactory dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. The differences among the three algorithms for analyzing the raw data, i.e., autocorrelation function, obtained by DLS are discussed, along with the characteristics of the particle size distribution derived from each algorithm.

© 2019 The Society of Chemical Engineers, Japan The purpose of this study is to examine the possibility of establishing a novel CO 2 absorption process with molten alkali carbonate using a bubble column reactor. In our previous study, a hot CO 2 recovery process using Li 4 SiO 4 suspended in molten Li 2 CO 3 -K 2 CO 3 was developed. In the process, molten alkali carbonate itself showed great potential for CO 2 absorption at high temperature. If a hot CO 2 absorption process were established using only molten alkali carbonate, it could make the system simpler and the operating temperature range could be extended without the limitation of reaction temperature of solid absorbent. In the study, molten Li 2 CO 3 , Na 2 CO 3 , K 2 CO 3 and its eutectic mixture were selected as CO 2 absorbent. A bubble column was chosen as the device for gas absorption at high temperature. First, the CO 2 absorption performance of each single molten alkali carbonate was investigated. The result showed that the molten Li 2 CO 3 had a great ability to absorb CO 2 at high temperature. Li 2 O was thought to be produced by decomposition of Li 2 CO 3 during the melting and purging process and a reaction of CO 2 with Li 2 O occurred during the absorption process. Further, the CO 2 absorption performance of eutectic mixture increased exponentially with increasing the ratio of Li 2 CO 3 in composition. Second, the possibility of establishing a CO 2 absorption process using molten Li 2 CO 3 was examined. The overall CO 2 absorption process in the bubble column was investigated and the experimental results showed that the mass transfer of CO 2 into molten Li 2 CO 3 was the rate-controlling step. The operational conditions of the bubble column were optimized. The superficial gas velocity was an important operational parameter that affected both the CO 2 absorption rate and total amount of CO 2 finally absorbed in the bubble column. The operating temperature also greatly affected the amount of absorbed CO 2 .

ISSN  13858947

　概要を見る

© 2019 Elsevier B.V. Microbubbles are used in many applications. One of the major advantages of using microbubbles is to improve the mass transfer of gases to the bulk phase. In this study, mass transfer from single microbubbles that rise in ultrapure water and aqueous solutions of surfactants (SDS, Pluronic F68) or salt (NaCl) was investigated. The rising and dissolution behaviors of single air microbubbles were observed using a high-speed imaging technique by which the rising velocity, U B , and the mass transfer coefficient, k L , were optically evaluated. We found that the rising velocity of microbubbles obeys Stokes’ law, indicating that the surface of the microbubbles used in this study is immobile, despite their rising in ultrapure water. The obtained mass transfer coefficients were in good agreement with those predicted by Ranz and Marshall's correlation for the Sherwood number, Sh. Using the two correlations for U B and Sh, a theoretical model that describes the mass transfer from a microbubble was constructed. The proposed model can predict the dissolution of single microbubbles rising in ultrapure water and aqueous solutions with an accuracy of ±10% in terms of dissolution time.

© 2019, © 2019 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. This study was performed to investigate the synthesis, kinetic and reaction mechanism of Li 4 SiO 4 with CO 2 in a slurry bubble column reactor. The Li 4 SiO 4 powder sample was prepared via a solid-state reaction. The sample was characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and verified as a single phase. The median diameter of the sample was measured using the laser diffraction and scattering method as about 20 μm. The synthesized sample was suspended in binary molten carbonate of Li 2 CO 3 –K 2 CO 3 having a molar ratio of 38:62. The experimental results show that Li 4 SiO 4 in the slurry bubble column absorbed approximately a stoichiometric amount of CO 2 . The kinetic study shows that the CO 2 reaction behavior on the Li 4 SiO 4 surface was fitted to a double exponential model and the limiting step of the reaction was lithium diffusion. The mass transfer coefficient of CO 2 and rate constant of reaction with Li 4 SiO 4 were studied to understand the overall absorption mechanism in the reactor. The resistance for the direct reaction of CO 2 on the Li 4 SiO 4 was much smaller than the resistance for the mass transfer of CO 2 to the Li 4 SiO 4 . We can conclude that the direct contact of CO 2 with Li 4 SiO 4 was the main path for the reaction.
