What is Gas-liquid mass transfer in trickle-bed reactors: Gas-side mass transfer about?

## Abstract New data of gas‐liquid mass transfer for cocurrent downflow through packed beds of non‐porous particles are presented. Mass transfer parameters for air/carbon dioxide/water and air/carbon dioxide/sodium hydroxide systems were evaluated by least squares fit of the calculated CO~2~ concentration profiles in the gas phase to the experimental values. The dependence of __k__~G~__a__ on gas and liquid flow rates is caused by the dependence of gas‐liquid interfacial area, not by the gas‐side mass transfer coefficient __k__~G~. In the case of the absorption of dilute carbon dioxide the gas‐side resistance is considerably smaller than the liquid‐side resistance. In the pulse flow regime, gas‐liquid interfacial area calculated from __k__~L~__a__ and __k__~L~ values obtained by physical, respectively, chemical absorption are lower than the gas‐liquid interfacial area evaluated from the measurements under reaction conditions.
