In the present investigation the effects of the addition of organic additives (propanol, benzoic acid, iso‐amyl alcohol and carboxymethyl cellulose) on the critical gas velocity, ( U sg ) c , in an internal airlift loop reactor with low‐density particles (Nylon‐6 and polystyrene) were reported. Whereas the ( U sg ) c was reduced by adding the above additives, it increased with solids loading and density of the particles. The draft tube‐to‐reactor diameter ratio ( D E / D ) in the range of 0.5–0.6 gave minimum ( U sg ) c values. The proposed dimensionless correlation predicted the experimental data well.
