Gas-liquid dispersions in structured packing with high-viscosity liquids

Gas holdup in bubble columns containing structured packing was determined for varying liquid phase viscosity and different construction materials of the packing. Three columns, containing packing made from smooth nickel plate, perforated nickel plate and plastic sheets, respectively, were tested. Th...
