METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPTIMIZING GAS-LIQUID CONTACT

摘要

Method and apparatus for creating gas-liquid contact for highly efficient mass transfer between gas and liquid comprises a gas-liquid contactor assembly (100) including a hollow porous tube (101) surrounded by an outer jacket (108) defining a gas plenum between the jacket and the porous tube; a liquid feed assembly (200) including a nozzle for injecting liquid into the porous tube in a spiraling flow pattern around and along the porous tube; a gas-liquid assembly (300) at the first end of the porous tube including a nonporous degassing tube (301) coaxially aligned and connected to the porous tube, a gas outlet port (302) coaxially aligned with the degassing tube to receive a first portion of gas flowing from the degassing tube; a liquid collection assembly (400); and a second gas discharge assembly (600) to collect and convey a second portion of gas from the porous tube.
