Oxygen Absorption into Stirred Emulsions of n-Alkanes

Absorption of pure oxygen into aqueous emulsions of n-heptane, n-dodecane, and n-hexadecane, respectively, has been studied at 0 to 100% oil volume fraction in a stirred tank at the stirring speed of 1000 min−1. The volumetric mass transfer coefficient, 𝑘𝐿𝑎, was evaluated from the pressure decrease...
