Rising film extractor
Abstract
A thin film of the organic phase (kerosene) is allowed to rise through water between two vertical Teflon wires (diameter 0.79 mm) spaced 8 mm apart, with Teflon cross-pieces provided at intervals. The measured holdup exceeds prediction by a simple hydrodynamic model, due to a meniscus effect, but the model does provide a basis for correlation. The efficiency of mass transfer of acetic acid from the kerosene to water in this arrangement has been …
