چکیده مقاله:

The axial dispersion coefficient of hexachlorobenzene in supercritical carbon dioxide is investigated in a fixed-bed packed with glass beads. The on-line chromatographic pulse-response experiment is used in order to study the dynamics of a packed column under supercritical conditions. The radial dispersion is assumed negligible because of the packed column geometry. To estimate the axial dispersion coefficient, a pulse input of tracer/supercritical fluid (hexachlorobenzene/carbon dioxide) mixture is injected into the column and the effluent peak is analyzed using the moments of the chromatographic curve in the Laplace domain. The range of the operating conditions for temperature, pressure and flow rate of super critical fluid are 25-500 °C, 1200-4000 psia and 120-160 ml/hr, respectively. The experimental data indicate that the axial dispersion coefficient is a function of temperature, pressure and flowrate. The axial dispersion coefficient decrease with increasing temperature and increase with increasing pressure. This trend may be due to the increase of the density and viscosity of the super critical carbon dioxide. Further more, the axial dispersion coefficient increase with increasing interstitial velocity. These results suggest that the contribution by convection is more important than molecular diffusion under supercritical operations. In order to investigate the authenticity of the dynamic model as well as the extent of accuracy of the moment analysis which is used for parameter estimation, the experimental response peak is compared with the dimensionless theoretical (numerical solution) curve. The small deviation between the two curves is well within the range of experimental error of axial dispersion coefficient measurements.

Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations of Gas-Phase Radial Dispersion in Fixed Beds with Wall Effects

The effective medium approach to radial fixed bed dispersion models, in which radial dispersion of mass is superimposed on axial plug flow, is based on a constant effective dispersion coefficient, DT. For packed beds of a small tube-to-particle diameter ratio (N), the experimentally-observed decrease in this parameter near the tube wall is accounted for by a lumped resistance located at the tub...

high pressures also requires special equipment. In summary, both RESS crystallization and SAS crystallization appear to be promising methods for generating supersaturation and therefore represent alternatives to conventional crystallization. Such alternatives may prove attractive in applications such as polymer and pharmaceutical processing, or in particle design for drug delivery. It is possib...
