## Abstract The objective of this study is to characterize mass transfer in a rectangular airβlift loop reactor in twoβphase flow. In a previous work, it has been shown that the reactor presents a complex gas flow pattern. Therefore, first, the global mass transfer volumetric coefficient __k~L~a__

In processes with immobilized cells mass transfer across the boundary layer surrounding the support often plays an important role. Relatively little is known about external mass transfer as a function of the superΓcial gas velocity in bioreactors such as air-lift loop reactors. In this work ion-exch
## Abstract The slow development of microalgal biotechnology stems from the failure in the design of largeβscale photobioreactors where light energy is efficiently utilized. Due to the light gradient inside the reactor and depending on the mixing properties, algae are subjected to certain light/dar
