摘要
The removal process of sludge attached to the wall of a planar vessel due to bubble motion was observed to understand the role played by bubbly flows in the removal of particulate contaminants on membranes in membrane bioreactors. The width, depth, and height of the planar vessel were 50, 3, and 380 mm, respectively. Pseudo sludge was attached to the left narrow wall of the vessel. Bubbles were released from the left bottom of the vessel in stagnant water. The bubble flow was classified into three regions in the vertical direction: bubble sliding region; liquid circulation region; and bubble approaching region. The difference in flow characteristics of the three regions affected the sludge removal rate and the bubble sliding region was the most effective. The shear stress acting on sludge in each region was estimated based on the observed flow characteristics, bubble diameter, and bubble velocity, and its magnitude was consistent with the removal rate. Bubble motion in the sliding bubble region was further discussed based on quantitative data obtained using an image processing method, which confirmed that the decrease in the increase rate of the ratio of the residence time of bubbles near the sludge to the recording time caused the plateau of the removal rate in a high gas flow rate. © 2021 Begell House Inc..
