Hydrodynamics and mass transfer in a new type (FG) stack packed extraction column
Hydrodynamics and mass transfer experiments were carried out in a 0.1m diameter extraction column with a new type (FG) stack packing developed recently in our laboratory. The working systems used were n-Butanol/Succinic acid/water with low interfacial tension of 1.50 x 10(-3)N . m(-1) and 30% TBP (Kerosene)/Acetic acid/water with interfacial tension of 10.0 x 10(-3)N . m(-1). Experimental results obtained indicated that (FG) stack packed extraction column was proved to possess high throughput capacity and excellent mass transfer efficiency. Replacing rotary discs with FG packings in a lube furfural extraction tower was quite success with significant economical benefits being claimed.
