Abstract
The rotating disc contactor (RDC) [1], created originally as a liquid-liquid extractor, is notable for some attributes which back its wide application.Due to the disc impellers it exhibits lower interstage backflow rates,whereas mixing is found to be enough intensive within the individual stages. These features on the background of recent developments of slurry reaction and bioreaction engineering actualize studies on this type of equipment from the standpoint of slurry reaction process requirements.Some characteristics of a rotary-disc biocontactor were reported recently by Brauer [2]. In this paper we present part of our studies on the performance of a somewhat different construction of a rotating disc slurry reactor.
