11 Novel Reactor Developments
The recent developments in reactor technologies for handling O 2 have aimed
to address the challenge associated with the poor solubility of O 2 in water and
organic solvents. Thus, efforts have focused on reducing residence times through
the enhancement in the mass transfer from the gas to the liquid phase without the
need to employ high pressures, which are often undesired. Recent reactor designs
