n-헥산/p-TSA 수용액계에서 교반에 의한 유기상의 분산
Dispersion of Organic Phase by Agitation in a n-Hexane/p-TSA Aqueous Solution System
초록
n-헥산과 40 wt % p-TSA수용액으로 이루어진 비혼화성 액상계에서 교반에 의한 유기상의 분산을 해석하였다. 사용된 교반기는 blade의 형태가 flat와 금망으로 된 4가지 형태의 6-bladed turbine 교반기를 사용하였다. 실험결과, 동일한 교반속도에서 유기상의 분산정도는blade의 형태가 flat, 60 mesh, 40 mesh, 20 mesh의 순서로 감소하였고 계면활성제인 TBA의 농도가 증가할수록, 그리고 유기상의 부피비가 작을수륵 유기상은 잘 분산되었다. 또한 완전분산에 필요한 최소교반속도는 flat, 60 mesh, 40 mesh, 20 mesh의 순서로 중가하였으나 최소소요동력은 거의 동일하였다. 이때 Power number와 Reynolds number와의 관계는 Np : a NReb 이었으며 교반기의 형태에 따른 상수 a와 혼합계의 종류에 따른 상수 b의 값은 각각 2200-4100, -0.69∼-0.63 범위이었다.
The effect of agitation on the dispersion of organic phase was investigated in an immiscible liquid system (n-hexane/40 wt % p-TSA aqueous solution). Four different types of six-bladed turbine impellers were used : a flat blade type and three screen blade types. The experimental results showed that the extent of dispersion of organic phase at the same agitation speed was decreased in the order of flat blade, 60 mesh, 40 mesh, and 20 mesh screen blades. Otherwise, it was increased with increasing the concentration of TBA as a surfactant agent and with decreasing volume fraction of organic phase. Also, the minimum agitation speed for a complete dispersion was increased in the order of flat blade, 60 mesh, 40 mesh, and 20 mesh screen blades. However, the minimum power consumption did not vary significantly. In this condition, the relationship between Power number and Reynolds number was expressed as Np = a NReb, where the values of constant a and constant b were ranged 2300∼4100 and -0.69∼ -0.63 respectively.
