Bubble Column Reactor - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18026905 titled 'Bubble Column Reactor
The abstract describes a bubble column reactor designed for a reaction between a gaseous reactant and a liquid reaction medium. The reactor includes a reaction zone, a disengaging section, and a condensation zone.
- The reaction zone is where the reaction between the gaseous reactant and liquid medium takes place.
- The disengaging section is located above the reaction zone and allows a first gas stream to rise from the reaction zone into this section.
- The condensation zone is situated above the disengaging section and facilitates the introduction of a second gas stream rising from the disengaging section.
- The diameter of the condensation zone is larger than the diameter of the disengaging section, allowing for efficient condensation of gases.
Potential Applications: - Chemical industry for various reactions involving gaseous reactants and liquid mediums. - Environmental applications for gas-liquid reactions in pollution control processes.
Problems Solved: - Efficient separation of gases from liquid reaction medium. - Enhanced condensation of gases for further processing.
Benefits: - Improved reaction efficiency. - Better control over gas-liquid separation. - Potential for increased productivity in chemical processes.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Bubble Column Reactor for Efficient Gas-Liquid Reactions" This technology can be utilized in chemical manufacturing plants, environmental engineering firms, and research laboratories for optimizing gas-liquid reactions.
Questions about Bubble Column Reactors: 1. How does the design of the condensation zone contribute to the efficiency of gas separation in the reactor? - The larger diameter of the condensation zone allows for better condensation of gases, leading to improved separation efficiency.
2. What are the key differences between a bubble column reactor and other types of reactors used in chemical processes? - Bubble column reactors are specifically designed for gas-liquid reactions, providing a unique environment for efficient reaction kinetics and mass transfer.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a bubble column reactor including a reaction zone configured to carry out a reaction of a gaseous reactant in a liquid reaction medium; a disengaging section provided above the reaction zone and configured such that a first gas stream rising from the reaction zone is introduced into the disengaging section; and a condensation zone provided above the disengaging section and configured such that a second gas stream rising from the disengaging section is introduced into the condensation zone, wherein a diameter of the condensation zone is greater than a diameter of the disengaging section.
