Process for improving the gas separation in liquid/gas reactors

摘要

Apparatus and process for ensure the coalescence and separation of fine gas bubbles in the degassing zone of liquid/gas tube or loop reactors. The invention is not limited to these two types of reactors. A liquid/gas current is introduced into a layer of solid particles whose size, density, and shape are chosen such that their sedimentation speed is greater than the speed of the rising liquid/gas mixture, and the fluidization point speed is selected to be less than the liquid speed.
