An ultrasound pulse transmission technique was investigated as an alternative means of measuring the specific interfacial area n in gas-liquid reactors. Characterization of gas-liquid dispersions using ultrasound might prove a very valuable alternative in situations in which traditional techniques s

The transport of insoluble siibstrates such as hydrocarbons to microorganisms is often postulated to be dictated by the availability of the hydrocarbon surface area. Many publications, qualitative and quantitative, have appeared to substantiate this hypothesis. Experiments have been performed in our
Interfacial area of a column packed with Raschig rings, 10 mm in diameter, is measured by the classical sulfite oxidation method. It is shown that the column behaves as a recycle differential reactor. Values of the interfacial area are compared, on the one hand with those obtained by Vidwans and Sha
