Tracer fast ascending velocities in a bubble column inferred from carpt-calibration experiments
The numerous applications of bubble columns (BC) in diverse fields of the chemical, petrochemical, biochemical and mineral industries are well known. In addition, the ability of the Computer Automated Radioactive Particle Tracking (CARPT) technique to get features of the liquid and/or the solid moti...

The numerous applications of bubble columns (BC) in diverse fields of the chemical, petrochemical, biochemical and mineral industries are well known. In addition, the ability of the Computer Automated Radioactive Particle Tracking (CARPT) technique to get features of the liquid and/or the solid motion in BC and slurry BC has been thoroughly demonstrated (Degaleesan et al., 2001; Devanathan et al., 1990). Furthermore, fast ascending velocities of the tracer found during the prolonged tracking periods have been associated to its motion while entrapped into the wake of passing large bubbles, pursuing the inference of information of the gas phase dynamics (Cassanello et al., 2001; Larachi et al., 1996). For other type of contactors (gas-solid risers and fluidized beds), fast tracer velocities have been related to solid clusters (Mostoufi and Chaouki, 2004; Bhusarapu et al., 2006). Therefore, present work pursues to point out, through calibration experiments, if differences between the actual tracer velocities and the velocities calculated from the reconstructed tracer positions during fast ascending/descending paths are acceptable. With this purpose, the motion of a radioactive tracer attached to a rod moving upwards/downwards, driven by a pneumatic system, is reconstructed from the combined response of eight NaI(Tl) scintillation detectors.
