Optimized centrifugal extractor

Introduction

Extraction processes are successful, when a component can be completely transferred from one liquid phase into another liquid phase and the liquid phases are afterwards separated completely. To achieve this a very intensive mixing has to generate very small droplet with big surfaces to ensure short distances for the ideal mass transfer. The mixing time has to be long enough to ensure a complete mass transfer. The now fine dispersed droplets have to be separated again. Continue Reading
