ABSTRACT:
Gas diffusion elements, formed of a body of solid particles which has been shaped, pressed and rendered coherent by bonding or sintering in a compacted form having pores, and having an enhanced apparent volumetric compression ratio in a central zone thereof, are disclosed. Such elements have a generally horizontal portion including an upper gas discharge surface having a bubble release pressure in water, by a test disclosed herein, in the range of about 2 to about 20 inches of water. Among the preferred embodiments is an element whose gas discharge surface has the property that its coefficient of variation is not greater than about 0.25, based on the values of bubble release pressure at a plurality of points over said surface. Such elements may provide improved gas, e.g. oxygen, transfer efficiency, and therefore hold promise of improving the efficiency and economics of gas transfer processes, such as for instance treatment of sewage or other waste water with air, oxygen and/or ozone.
