Abstract
Bubble disengagement after stopping the gas supply is analyzed based on the concept of constant slip velocity; it is compared with the approaches used by previous investigators. The technique has been applied to study the gas density effect (0.17 to 46.6 kgยทm^โ3^) on the gas holdโup structure in a bubble column with organic liquids (toluene, ethanol, 1โbutanol, decalin) and tap water. With increasing gas density, the large bubble rise velocity decreases; this indicates smaller bubble size. The small bubble holdโup is correlated with the gas and the liquid properties whereas the large bubble holdโup is hardly affected.

The gas disengagement technique is discussed in detail and is applied in a two-dimensional bubble column and slurry bubble column to obtain the bubble size distribution.

In Lhe present study pressure transducer signals were used to measure the rate of liquid level drop during tbe bubble disengagement process. This enables one to use the dynamic gas disengagement method in opaque systems (i.e. industrial reactors operating at high pressures, and/or temperatures) and
Experiments of pressure effects on gas holdup and bubble size in slurry bubble columns at 5.6 MPa and at gas ยฎelocities up to 45 cmrs indicate that the gas holdup increases with an increase in pressure, especially at high slurry concentration.

The conventional two-bubble-class model for bubble column reactors has been modified to account for interactions between the two bubble classes. It is shown that the modified model is more consistent with the observed residence time distribution in the gas phase than the conventional model. The resu
