Gas hold‐up (ϵ G ) in air‐aqueous electrolyte solutions in stirred tank reactors (STR) is correlated using a relative gas dispersion parameter, N / N cd and a surface tension factor (STF), ( c / z )( d δ/ dc ) 2 . For electrolyte concentration below transition concentration ( c t ) a single correlation in the form of ϵ G = f ( N / N cd , vvm , STF) shows good agreement with gas hold‐up data over a wide range of system and operating conditions. Above ct no effect of STF on gas hold‐up is observed and the correlation obtained is of the form ϵ G = f ( N / N cd , vvm ). Data available in the literature on large STR show good fit with the proposed correlation.
