Abstract
A new design of a single-stage mixer-settler is presented. A horizontal mixing compartment, 5.5cm diameter and 12cm long, leading to a similar vertical coalescence compartment reduced the settler volume to a minimum. Almost complete solute transfer occurred in the mixer for the system used, while the vertical settler, 3.5cm diameter and 40cm long, served merely as a flash separator. The contactor performance was investigated by the test system toluene-acetic acid-water at 25 degreesC. Data analysis using a flash vaporization technique gave very good agreement with the experimental results. (A)
