Abstract

ABSTRACTAxial dispersion performance of a 2-m high 76-mm diameter pilot-scale pulsed solvent extraction column has been studied using two liquid–liquid systems, Alamine 336/isodecanol/Shellsol 2046 (continuous)–tap water (dispersed) and LIX 84/Shellsol 2046 (continuous)–tap water (dispersed). The pulsed column was operated with standard disc and doughnut internals and Tenova pulsed column–kinetics internals using pulsation intensities from 0.005 m/s to 0.025 m/s with polyvinylidene fluoride internal plates of 22.4% open area. The effect of pulsation intensity, dispersed phase velocity, and continuous phase velocity on axial dispersion coefficient have been investigated and compared with the two different column internals, and the experimental data has been correlated with empirical relationships.
