Influences of suspended particles upon such parameters as gas holdup, volumetric liquid-state mass-transfer coefficient, and gas-liquid interfacial area in a bubble column were investigated in sodium sulfite/sulfate solutions in which various loadings of coarse nylon particles and fine alumina particles were suspended. The volumetric mass-transfer coefficients and gas holdups were a bit increased by suspending a small amount of fine particles. The gas-liquid interfacial area in a slurry bubble column in which a small amount of fine particles were suspended was found to be higher than that in a two-phase bubble column.
