Intensifying Mass Transfer and Flotation Rates in Multiphase Contactors/Reactors

The proposed project mainly focuses on developing an innovative gas/liquid contacting technology that is of critical importance to a wide range of process industries and environmental-management operations. Successful development and implementation of this project are expected to:
• Reduce the environmental impact of a variety of operations that are needed to meet human needs and welfare (e.g. water/wastewater treatment, aquaculture, environmental protection),
• Strengthen BC Research Inc’s position in the areas such as process intensification, advanced wastewater treatment, mineral processing, biotechnology and green chemistry,
• Expand BC Research Inc’s sustainable business opportunities in new areas (e.g. selective flotation and stripping of volatiles from effluents) and enhance job creation for high-tech personnel.
