Abstract

Axial density profile of the gas-liquid-solid mixture in a slurry bubble column was measured by gamma-ray attenuation technology. Several measures for improving measurement precision were presented based on the discussion on attenuation law. It was found that the response frequency and the ray intensity should be as high as possible to improve the measurement precision. The mass absorption coefficient depended on not the object’s thickness but the location where the object was placed between the ray source and the detector. The results showed that the density in the column decreases with the increase of column height, which indicates that the measurement by gamma-ray attenuation is reasonable.
