  3. GAS TRANSFER Gas transfer means simply the process of allowing any gas to dissolve in a fluid or the opposite of that, promoting the release of a dissolved gas from a fluid.

  4. GAS TRANSFER When disequilibrium conditions exist for a gas between its gaseous phase and aqueous concentration, gas transfer occurs. The concentration gradient (difference in concentration) drives a gas flux according to the equation:

  5. APPLICATIONS • Natural aeration of surface water bodies • Drinking Water Treatment • Wastewater Treatment • Chemical Industries

  6. AERATION KINETICS Aeration kinetics can be expressed as : where C* = saturation concentration of oxygen in water (mg/L) KLa = overall gas transfer coefficient (sec-1) t = time (sec) C = actual concentration of oxygen (mg/L)

  7. Integrating and rearranging gives • ln(C* – Ct) = ln(C* - Co) - Klat • A plot of ln(C* - Ct) versus time, t, • gives a line with slope KLa.

  8. Data Analysis Slope of the line =KLa ln(C*-Ct) Time

  9. Oxygen Saturation vs Temperature Oxygen Saturation vs Temperature

  10. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP DO Meter Air DO Probe Plexiglass Cylinder Diffuser

  11. The transfer of oxygen in this experiment takes place through the bubble gas-liquid interface. If the gas inside the bubble is air, and an oxygen deficit exists in the water, the oxygen transfers from the bubble into the water. In this experiment we are measuring the rate of oxygen transfer. The water is first stripped of oxygen by chemical means. The air is then turned on and the dissolved oxygen concentration is measured with time using a dissolved oxygen meter.

  12. Data Collection • Record Time and Dissolved Oxygen Concentration with Time (Ct) • Record temperature of water • Look up C* from a standard table

  13. FACTORS IMPACTING GAS TRANSFER • Temperature • Salinity • Pressure • Presence of Chemicals
