Three-phase slurry bubble column reactor owns a wide application area. This review focuses on the hydrodynamics of the reactor from the findings of published studies, which includes the flow regimes, gas holdup, bubble size and distribution and mass transfer coefficients. The factors affecting each parameter and the status of the research are discussed, and the development of slurry bubble column reactor has also been prospected. At present, the experimental data that can be used in the industrial application is not accurate, an enlargement of the reactor is still a difficult problem, it remains to be further exploring in close to real environment.
