-Experimental data obtained in a pilot plant rotating disc contactor were used to obtain values of parameters for the hydrodynamic and mass transfer models representing column operation. The unique feature of the data was that drop size within the column did not vary appreciably with vertical position. Column performance measurements were therefore truly representative of the particular drop size generated. The models, with the resulting parameter values, were then used in design mode to determine column dimensions as a function of drop size. An optimum drop diameter of 0.20-0.25 cm is indicated for the toluene-acetone-water system.
