✦ Synopsis

An improved stagewise model has been developed to represent more accurately the physical processes occurring in a liquid-liquid extraction c&mm. The inlluence of drop size distribution is more realistically represented in this model. The model equations have been solved numerically with a range of parameter values in order to predict the extent of the influence of drop size distribution on extraction rates. Drop size distributions, measured in a turbineagitakd column section and inserted into the model equations, gave predictions of a considerable i&ewe of PROFOSED sTAGEMODEZ,DROPSIZE DJSlWBUTlONJNCLUDED
