This study described the use of Electrical Resistance Tomography (ERT) in characterizing and quantifying gas-liquid mixing. Tomography is a robust and powerful technique to visualize 2D and 3D conductivity image in a stirred agitating vessel using multiple planes of periphery spaced sensors. The experimental work was carried out in a fully baffled agitated vessel with a diameter of 40 cm, 56 cm height and equipped with ITS P2000 ERT. On the basis of the reconstructed pixel of conductivity from multi-plane sensors arrangement, the affected parameters of mixing can be measured. A MATLAB® code was developed to construct surface plots of gas holdup. The gas concentration tomograms and holdup surface plots successfully mapped the gas distribution within the vessel.]]>Dong, F., F.Z. Jiang, X.T. Qiao and L.A.
