Abstract: The effect of apparent gas velocity, axial height, diameter of riser and shape of solid particles on gas holdup distribution was investigated in cold mold test equipment with perforated plate gas - liquid distributor with cylindrical riser. The results showed that the initial bubble size generated by the gas-liquid distributor was large, mostly millimeter-scale bubbles. The uniformity of the gas holdup distribution became worse with the increase of gas velocity and the axial height. The gas dispersion performance of the gas-liquid distributor with a 26 mm riser is better than the gas-liquid distributor with a riser diameter of 48 mm. The ceramic ball, tooth spherical and clover-shaped particle all had a breakup effect on the bubble, and the breakup effect of the clover-shaped particle is better than ceramic ball and tooth spherical particle. The unevenness distribution of gas hold above the filler layer using clover-shaped solid particles is the smallest.
