Micromixing in a gas–liquid vortex reactor

The gas–liquid vortex reactor (GLVR) has substantial process intensification potential for multiphase processes. Essential in this respect is the micromixing efficiency, which of great importance fast reaction systems such as crystallization, polymerization, and synthesis nanomaterials. By creating a flow taking advantage centrifugal force field, liquid can be intensified GLVR. Results show that introducing into gas-only unit results suppression primary secondary gas flow. Villermaux–Dushman protocol applied to study effects rate, viscosity based on segregation index. Based incorporation model kinetics, time GLVR determined range 10−4 ~ 10−3 s, comparable highly efficient rotating packed bed substantially better than static mixer.
