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...

A simple and low-cost apparatus for continuous and efficient liquid-liquid extraction, which does not need continual mechanical forces (stirring, shaking, etc.) other than solution sending, has newly been developed. This apparatus, named "emulsion flow" extractor, is composed of a column part where an emulsified state fluid flow (emulsion flow) is generated by spraying micrometer-sized droplets...

In this paper, I argue that animal domestication, speciesism, and other modern human-animal interactions in North America are possible because of and through the erasure of Indigenous bodies and the emptying of Indigenous lands for settler-colonial expansion. That is, we cannot address animal oppression or talk about animal liberation without naming and subsequently dismantling settler colonial...

The effects and influences of various operational parameters on the efficiency of mixer-settlers are thoroughly studied in this paper. One of the most important factors in designing a mixer-settler is to obtain an optimum operational extraction and overall efficiency. These two factors are dependent on various parameters such as impeller shape, size and speed of impeller, baffle size, residence...

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 a...

Pilot plant study showed that there is a relationship between the HRT in aeration tank and the % removal of soluble COD in the final settler if DO is not a limiting function. It was found that the % removal of soluble COD in final settler increased from 13 at HRT in aeration tank of 12 hours to 45 at HRT of 4 hours. Mathematical model was also presented in order to predict the soluble COD utili...
