Residence time distribution and dispersion of gas phase in a wet gas scrubbing system

摘要

Residence time distribution (RTD) of exhaust gas in a wet scrubbing system was investigated for application to the removal of SO_x, NO_x or dust included in exhaust gas. The mixing of gas phase in the wet scrubbing system was also examined by considering the axial dispersion coefficient of gas phase. Effects of gas amount (velocity), liquid amount (velocity) and solid floating materials on the residence time distribution (RTD) and axial dispersion coefficient of exhaust gas were discussed. The addition of solid floating materials could change the RTD and thus dispersion of exhaust gas in the scrubbing system. The mean residence time and axial dispersion coefficient of exhaust gas were well correlated in terms of operating variables.
