Abstract

The mass transfer conditions in a hydrocyclone cell have been analysed and an approximate plug-flow model has been developed to describe metal ion depletion during batch recycle operation. The resulting concentration-time relationship and reaction rate equation has been shown to describe satisfactorily the experimental data obtained for the electrodeposition of copper and silver from dilute solutions. Moreover, these relationships have enabled the evaluation of mass transfer coefficients in the hydrocyclone cell.
