Abstract
The influence of suspended fine particles of differing adsorbing capacity (activated carbon, avicell cellulose, SiO//2 and molecular sieves) on the liquid-film mass transfer coefficient k//L was examined, experimentally in a stirred cell of defined gas-liquid interfacial area, by chemical methods. The greatest effect on k//L was observed with the activated carbon (i. e. around threefold increase) and an addition of small amount of glycerine, which adsorbed on the particles preferentially, removed this increase totally. Amongst other particles, only avicell cellulose showed measureable effect. Experimental results were explained in the light of an adsorption process taking place at the dissolved gas-rich layer.
