A rotating disc contactor (RDC) was designed and constructed. The obtained experimental results for the heights of shallow dispersion beds formed in the separation zone of the extraction column, suggested a new correlation. It was found that any increase in dispersed phase flow rate or rotor speed caused an increase in the dispersion height. Also, the results revealed the profound effect of the continuous phase viscosity on the height of the bed. Within the ranges of experimental results, the proposed correlation was in good agreement with the data of shallow beds compared to previous proposed relations.
