The mass transfer between the gas and liquid phases is important for many chemical and biological industrial processes. The parameters circulating gas flow rate, circulating liquid flow rate and the gas hold‐up in the riser and downcomer are important. A model is presented and validated by experimental data, which were gained in an airlift loop reactor of pilot plant scale.
