Features of the motion of gel particles in a three-phase bubble column under foaming and non-foaming conditions

Features of the motion of gel particles in a three-phase bubble column with non-foaming and foaming gas–liquid systems, determined by using experiments of radioactive particle tracking (RPT), have been compared. The tracer used is a gel particle which resembles typical immobilized biocatalyst. The t...
