Liquid phase volumetric mass transfer coefficients for oxygen were determined in three‐phase fluidized beds of 8 mm glass spheres fluidized by a cocurrent flow of air and pseudoplastic polysaccharide solutions (carboxymethyl cellulose, xanthan). A semi‐theoretical relation for the effective shear rate was suggested. The mass transfer coefficients could be correlated, together with literature data for particle diameters of 3 mm and 5 mm in other liquids, using the terminal velocity as the particle‐specific property.
