abstract

an experimental study of the phase inversion behavior of liquid-liquid dispersion has been conducted in a spray extraction column for systems of toluene / water, n-hexane/water, ccl4/water, toluene /water + glycerol (25 % wt), toluene + ccl4 (25 % wt) / water and toluene / acetic acid (5 % wt)/water. the effects of physical properties, mass transfer and column geometry on phase inversion have been investigated. the results show that the dispersed phase hold up sufficient for phase inversion increases in o/w dispersion and decreases in w/o dispersion by increasing interfacial tension. also, it was found that by increasing the viscosity of aqueous phase, dispersed phase hold up decreases at phase inversion point in both o/w and w/o dispersions. the tendency to phase inversion increases in o/w dispersion with an increase in density difference of two phases. it was observed that dispersed phase hold up at phase inversion point decreases in the presence of mass transfer, when the direction of mass transfer is from dispersed phase to continuous phase. the results show that dispersed phase holdup increases with drop size at phase inversion point and column diameter has an important effect on phase inversion because of wall effect.

Stagewise Modeling of Liquid-Liquid Extraction Column (RDC)

Stagewise forward mixing model considering coalescence and redispersion of drops was used to predict the performance of Rotating Disc Liquid-Liquid Extraction Contactors. Experimental data previously obtained in two RDC columns of 7.62cm diameter, 73.6cm height and 21.9cm diameter, 150cm height were used to evaluate the model predictions. Drop-side mass transfer coefficients were predicted appl...

Investigation of Mass Transfer Coefficient under Jetting Conditions in a Liquid-Liquid Extraction System

In this research mass transfer coefficient under jetting regime in different directions (from dispersed to continuous and continuous to dispersed phase) has been studied using an experimental setup. n-Butanol-succinic acid-water with low interfacial tension has been selected as experimental chemical system. The effects of various parameters such as jet velocity, nozzle diameter and the heig...

Determination of Amphetamine and Methamphetamine by Dispersive Liquid Phase Micro-extraction: A Novel Experimental Approach

Background: A syringe to syringe dispersive liquid phase micro-extraction-floating organic drop was applied and used for the simultaneous extraction and pre-concentration of trace amounts of amphetamine (AMP) and methamphetamine (MAMP) in urine samples. The extracted analytes were determined by high performance liquid chromatography along with diode array detection. Materials & Methods: In thi...
