The volumetric mass transfer coefficient (kLa) is one of the most important parameters for design and scale-up of gas–liquid–solid three-phase mechanically stirred tank reactors. In this work, the effects of agitation speed, superficial gas velocity, temperature, and volumetric solid concentration (CV) on the power consumption andkLawere discussed and quantitatively analyzed. In an air-water-glass beads system, the gassed power number (NPG) andkLaincrease remarkably with the temperature. At ambient temperature,kLadecreases significantly with increasingCVwith a power law exponent of 3.10, but this decreasing effect becomes weaker at higher temperatures. In this hot-sparged three-phase system, the addition of solids slows down the increasing tendency ofNPGwith the temperature, but enhances the increasing tendency ofkLa. The increase in temperature weakens the decreasing effect ofCVonkLa. Compared with the effect of temperature onNPGandkLa, the effect ofCVis nearly negligible. As a practical guide to industrial applications, it is more effective to enhance the gas–liquid mass transfer by increasing the temperature or power consumption than by changingCVor increasing superficial gas velocity. The empirical correlations of power consumption andkLaobtained in this work can provide helpful guidance for the industrial design and operation of hot-sparged three-phase stirred tank reactors.
