Abstract
An air-pulsed horizontal mixer-settler is described along with a horizontal pulsed-plate column which uses a single air pulse line regardless of the number of stages. Experimental setups and methods of operation are described and mass transfer data are given and discussed. It is concluded that the air- pulsed mixersettler and the horizontal pulse column perform comparably with conventional equipment. Air-pulsing gives an advantage in corrosive and radioactive processing. The horizontal pulse column offers advantages over other horizontal contactors in ease of construction, maintenance, and stability of operation, and cascades are more compact, saving on shielding costs, (T.R.H.)
