## 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

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 effects of the horizontal connection length (0.1 ± __L~e~__ ± 0.5 m), the cross‐sectional area ratio of downcomer‐to‐riser (0.11 ± A~d~/A~r~± 0.53), and the superficial gas velocity on gas phase holdups in the riser and downcomer were studied. The circulation liquid velocity, the mi
## Abstract The flow regime transitions of the riser and downcomer in an internal‐loop airlift reactor are investigated. Analysis of the effects of mean value, standard deviation and chaotic time series on pressure fluctuation signals is recorded to determine the transition of the hydrodynamics in
## Abstract BACKGROUND: The potential of organic liquid solvents and solid polymers to enhance CH~4~ mass transfer was studied in a two‐phase partition internal loop airlift reactor operated with gas recirculation under biotic and abiotic conditions. A preliminary screening of the most common liqui
