Particle-liquid mass transfer in a three phase sparged reactor has been studied over a wide range of particle sizes, specifically in the chum-turbulent regime. The objective of this study was to correlate the particle-liquid Sherwood number with Reynolds and Schmidt numbers in order to enhance understanding of mass transfer dynamics. A comprehensive methodology was utilized that involved analyzing the hindered particle settling velocity's impact on the Reynolds number, revealing a commendable agreement (approximately 20%) with current and previously published data. Additionally, the proposed correlation was found to be valid for power law non-Newtonian liquids when the effective viscosity was applied. This investigation holds significant implications for the design and optimization of three phase sparged reactors, which are broadly utilized across various sectors in the chemical industry, including but not limited to manufacturing processes and wastewater treatment. The findings contribute to the understanding of the complexities inherent in particle-liquid interactions within these reactors, thereby providing a refined basis for future research and industrial applications.
