ABSTRACT:
Gas diffusion elements, formed of a body of solid particles which have been shaped, pressed and rendered coherent by bonding or sintering in a compacted form having pores, are disclosed. Said elements include a peripheral, annular zone of relatively small proportions having lesser permeability, greater density or lesser height than at least a portion of the remainder of the element. In accordance with the invention, a boundary zone is provided adjacent to and inwardly of the peripheral zone, in which boundary zone there is a progressive increase, continuous or step-wise, in the apparent volumetric compression ratio of the element, in the direction of the pheripheral zone, or towards a vertical surface which is near the periphery of the element. Such element may provide improved gas, e.g. oxygen transfer efficiency and therefore holds 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.
