Characterization of an electrochemical laboratory filterpress reactor by hydrodynamic and mass transport studies

摘要

In this paper,a study of a laboratory filter-press electrolyser (a home-made UA63.03 reactor) is described,analysing the influence of the presence of turbulence promoters on hydrodynamic and mass transport behavior.A new approach of a model has been developed to analyze the different residence time distributions (RTD) in thin kind of reactor.A new parameter,the turbulence factor,has been proposed to classify the turbulence promoters.Comparisons have bene made with the classification botained from limiting current measurement.
