Interfacial gas–liquid transfer area in alkane–aqueous dispersions and its impact on the overall volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient

KLa and gas–liquid interfacial area per unit volume were quantified in 2.5–20% n-C10–13 aqueous dispersions agitated at 600–1200 rpm. The interfacial area was quantified using high speed photographyand image analysis. Interfacial area correlated strongly with KLa over all agitation rates and alkanec...
