Abstract
Gas phase back mixing has been measured in a column packed with vertical expanded metal sheet under the counter-current flow of gas and liquid by the static method using a tracer. The observed experimental concentration profiles has not confirmed our earlier proposed model of back mixing, based on the concentration profiles in absorption runs. These profiles do not even conform with the axially dispersed plug flow model currently used to describe axial mixing in packed bed columns. The concentration profiles may be described by a combination of the axially dispersed plug flow model with back flow.
