Mass Transfer Characteristics in a Standard Pulsed Sieve-plate Extraction Column

Mass Transfer Coefficients in Pulsed Perforated-plate Extraction Columns

This study examined the mass transfer performance in a pulsed perforated-plate extraction column with diameter of 50 mm using two different liquid systems. Mass transfer coefficients have been interpreted in terms of the axial diffusion model. The effects of pulsation intensity and dispersed and continuous phase velocities on the mass transfer performance have been investigated. Three different...

Investigation of Packing Effect on Mass Transfer Coefficient in a Single Drop Liquid Extraction Column

Mass Transfer Coefficients in Pulsed Column for Separation of Samarium and Gadolinium

The mass transfer performance of a pulsed disc and doughnut column for extraction of samarium and gadolinium from aqueous nitrate solution with D2EHPA was investigated. The effects of operating parameters such as pulsation intensity, continuous and dispersed phase velocities on column performance were investigated. The axial dispersion model was used to obtain the overall mass transfer coef...

Heat and Mass Transfer Characteristics of an Annular Sieve Tray

An internally heat integrated distillation column, HIDiC, offers the maximum energy saving potential for difficult and energy intensive separations, such as propylenepropane and the like, which are carried out in tray columns. A novel type of HIDiC was developed by TUDelft, namely a concentric distillation column in which a low pressure annular stripping section is configured around a high pres...

Experimental Determination of Continuous Phase Overall Mass Transfer Coefficients Case Study: Kühni Extraction Column

The aim of this study is to explore the capability of subcritical methanol to reduce the acidity of naphthenic acids and to determine reaction kinetics for large-scale reactor design.The experiments were carried out in a 25 mL autoclave reactor (China) at temperatures of 70-120oC, Methanol Partial Pressures (MPPs) of 0.1-1.5 MPa, and reaction times of 0-60 min. The total...
