✦ Synopsis

Several aspects of the gas absorption mechanism In catalytic slurry reactors are consldered both theoretically and experlmentally The results of Lee and Tsao (1972) -1.e oxygen absorption into glucose solutions contalnlng platlnium deposlted on powdered activated carbon -are analysed crltlcally The experiments which were carried out In stlrred cells with unbroken -hence known -Interfaces with two different systems (1.e oxygen absorption Into glucose solutions contalnlng Pt/C and carbondloxlde absorptlon znto carbonate buffer solutions In the presence of lmmoblllzed carbonic anhydrase) showed that the absorptron rate can be enhanced because of the catalytrc reaction. During the course of this study, It has also been found that finely powdered activated carbon Increases, 1 e. facllltates the physlcal absorptron of gases slgnzflcantly.
