Axial Mixing in Emulsion-flow Column under Iodine Extraction

Strength of axial mixing in the emulsion phase during progress extraction was evaluated using Peclet number under various flow conditions. The numbers were determined with established tracer technology which applies inert species for iodine extraction. Very little effect operating velocities either aqueous and organic phases found on numbers. This fact indicates that an almost constant degree kept this column different both phases. Furthermore, emulsion-flow compared conventional spray packed columns by plotting droplet against Reynolds number. Points located middle columns, suggests strength present is between columns.
