Tóm tắt

This paper deals with a new type of gas-liquid contactor for the biological treatment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The hydrodynamic and the mass transfer characteristics of this contactor are studied. With head losses quite adapted to the use of blowing engines, the mass transfer capacity is found to be much higher than the mass flowrates which are normally contained in the industrial effluents.
