(To investigate the influence of suspended particles on mass transfer characteristics in a slurry bubble column, physical and chemical absorptions were performed into aqueous slurries of fine calcium hydroxide particles ca. 7 ..mu..m in average size. Such mass transfer parameters as volumetric liquid-side mass transfer coefficient, specific gas-liquid interfacial area, and hence liquid-side mass transfer coefficient were determined under various electrolyte concentrations, solid concentrations, and gas flow rates.) and K /SUB L/ /SUP o/ a could be correlated by the gas flow rate. (The volumetric gas-side mass transfer coefficient was determined and correlated by the gas flow rate. The enhancement factors during absorption of dilute carbon dioxide into aqueous calcium hydroxide slurries were compared with the theoretical predictions based on the film theoryincorporating a finite slurry concept.)
