酶催化固定CO2的气升式反应器中流体力学性能的优化
Optimization of fluid mechanical properties in three-phase airlift reactor for enzymatic CO2 fixation
摘要
Abstract
The three-phase 10-L airlift bioreactor system was investigated for its multi-enzyme catalytic CO2 fixation through both experiments and numerical simulations,evaluating the impact of design parameters on internal flow fields and overall volumetric mass transfer coefficient(kla).According to a computational fluid dynamics(CFD)model for the gas-liquid-solid three-phase system,which was established based on the conservation laws of mass and momentum under the Euler-Euler model,the k-ε turbulence model,as well as Higbie's penetration theory,the fluid flow and interphase mass transfer processes inside the reactor could be accurately simulated.Experimental results of the overall gas holdup and gas-liquid mass transfer coefficient kla showed less than 5%and 10%deviations compared with the predicted numbers by the model,demonstrating high credibility of this model.Moreover,with the superficial gas velocity in the range of 0.002 42-0.024 2 m/s,the reactor exhibited high gas holdup,suitable liquid velocity,as well as uniform distribution of solid particles under the optimal conditions when the solid holdup was 1%and the cross-sectional area ratio of riser to downcomer was 0.97.Our results provided valuable insights on the three-phase 10-L airlift bioreactor system for the development of enzymatic CO2 fixation,assisting the technology transfer from laboratory to industrial applications.关键词
