Flooding and axial dispersion in reciprocating plate extraction columns Journal Articles

abstract

• AbstractThe flooding and axial mixing characteristics of a 15 cm diameter reciprocating plate extraction column with six different plate arrangements handling kerosene dispersed in water are reported. A general correlation for flooding in the emulsion flow regime is developed and applied to the present results and to published data on other columns and systems. Under certain conditions of flow and agitation, the axial mixing is very high because of circulation, but it can be reduced by including baffles in the plate stack.
