Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation is an effective research approach for understanding velocity fields used in process and equipment intensification. It was found that mixer-settler used in rare earth metal extraction process was unsatisfying in large amount of liquid backlogged, high energy consumption and longtime settling process. In this paper, CFD simulations and experiment valid...

An experimental study has been made of the hydrodynamics of a stage mixer-settler to obtain appropriate design information. In this paper several tests were done according to full factorial design of experiments with high reliability, since each test recurs seven times and the results of  them are very close to each other(P=1bar and T=25 °C). Sauter diameter in each test is determined with ...

An experimental study has been conducted on the hydrodynamics of a stage mixer-settler to obtain an appropriate design. In this paper several tests was performed to investigate full factorial design of experiments. Since each test was repeated seven times, the repeatability of the test was confirmed (P=1 bar and T=25 °C). Sauter diameter was determined by photographing both the mix...

the effects and influences of various parameters upon the efficiency and the overall volumetric mass transfer coefficients are important subjects to be studied in most liquid-liquid extraction processes. one of these important parameters is surface active agent (surfactant). in this paper, in order to study the effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds) concentration on the efficiency and the avera...

Continuous counter-current extraction of rhenium from roasting dust leach liquor was carried out using a mixer-settler extractor. Tributylphosphate was used as the extractant diluted in kerosene. The effects of the flow rates and extraction stages number were investigated. The extraction efficiency was affected by the flow rates of the aqueous and organic phases, and its mechanism was qualitati...

However ATPE has no large-scale industrial applications yet. This is based substantially on very long phase separation times resulting from low interfacial tensions and low density differences between the phases producing intensive and stable emulsions. This causes an increased footprint of the required mixer/settler devices or the application of additional equipment such as energy consuming ce...
