## 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
The main objective of the present paper is to propose a new model of the hydrodynamics in an air-lift internal loop reactor. The model is based on one-dimensional (I D) two-fluid mass and momentum balances. It requires closure relations for the slip velocity of the gas bubbles and both friction fact
## Abstract Oxygen transfer in the liquidβimpelled loop reactor is described for a setup in which the perfluorochemical FC40 is aerated externally. Two sizes of reactors are investigated. The massβtransfer coefficient __k__ appears to be lower with a factor of about 0.6 compared to gas liquid syste
