Research status of flow and mass transfer of air lift reactor

The effects of structural improvement and operating conditions of airlift reactor on flow and mass transfer was introduced on the basis of surveying the research advances. The various kinetic models during the mass transference is investigated. The future research directions for airlift reactor are put forward, including CFD simulation technology and experimental flow measurement techniques. The effect of operation conditions on the properties of airlift reactor should be reserved as a priority.
