✦ Synopsis

Dear Sirs,

Recently Chisti et al. (1988) proposed a liquid circulation model for airlift reactors. They stated that the influence of the wall-drag on liquid circulation is negligible relative to the frictional losses in the top and bottom connecting sections.

Experimental data obtained by Verlaan et al. (1986) and an energy balance over the airlift loop [eq. ( 4) of the paper] were

Energy balance over an airlift loop is used to obtain a theoretical equation [eq. (16)] for the prediction of liquid circulation velocity in those devices. The resulting equation is shown to satisfactorily describe most of the available liquid circulation data (13 different airlift reactors) for a l

## Abstract The role of the gas–liquid separator on hydrodynamic characteristics in an internal‐loop airlift reactor (ALR) was investigated. Both gas holdup and liquid velocity were measured in a 30 dm^3^ airlift reactor with two different head configurations: with and without an enlarged separator
