PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR FLUID-LIQUID CONTACTING

摘要

A process for fluid-liquid contacting comprising delivering at least one liquid to the end of the series of multi-filament threads arranged in at least one bundle so that the liquid flows over the threads as a liquid sheath and passing at least one additional fluid over the liquid sheath so that heat or materials are transferred between the liquid and fluid. Apparatus for trnasferring heat and materials by fluid-liquid contact comprising means for delivering and evacuating a liquid to and from a series of multi-filament threads, means for fastening these multi-filament threads so that they are in contact with the delivering and evacuating means and means for distributing and evacuating a fluid which contacts the liquid, the fluid being the continuous phase.
