โœฆ Synopsis


Droplet coalescence and breakage rates in a pulsed-plate extraction column have been measured using the colorimetric method of Hamilton and Pratt (1980). The results were interpreted in terms of rate constants, defined appropriately for the mixer-settler and emulsion regions of operation respectively, using a discrete population balance model. It is shown that the resultingvalues of these constants can be used to predict accurately the steady-state droplet-size distribution and apparent coalescence rate. Computations for a typical extraction system indicated that the effect of polydispersivity on performance is surprisingly small for the pulsed plate column.

Classically, sinusoidal oscillations are imposed to enhance mixing and mass transfer between two phases contacted. But, in any case of solid-liquid contact, it was noticed that this pulsation mode was not efficient enough to allow a controlled behavior of the solid phase. The problem is particularly
