Liquid-liquid extraction using vortex rings in a batch cell
Abstract
Liquid-liquid vortex rings have been formed in a 19.5 cm diameter batch extraction cell by applying a periodic vertical impulse to a horizontal plate containing a single orifice (5.38 or 8.00 cm diameter) and located in the aqueous phase. The rings travel to the organic (kerosene) phase to form discrete rings of water rising through the kerosene phase. Unsteady mass transfer rates of benzoic acid from kerosene to water have been measured; the …
