Title: Airlift Mini-Bubbler Testing in the Slurry FED Melt Rate Furnace

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/808880· OSTI ID:808880

The objectives of the mini airlift bubbler testing are to evaluate the impact of the bubbler on melt rate, melting behavior and cold cap structure, foam formation and stability, bubbler air venting, off gas behavior, and electrode/plenum power use. In addition, the effects of frit and plenum temperature on bubbler performance were evaluated. This report will cover the second program element, the evaluation of two lengths of mini-bubblers in Slurry Fed Melt Rate Furnaces to assess melting behavior and melt rate enhancement.
