Moderne Flüssig/Flüssig‐Extraktoren–Übersicht und Auswahlkriterien

Abstract

Abstract Modern liquid/liquid extractors – survey and selection criteria . Various types of industrial extractors are presented with emphasis being laid on a description of the apparatus and the problems met with in their practical application; theoretical considerations are largely avoided. An attempt is made to categorize and assess individual extractors. For this purpose the efficiencies and loadings are given, which enable a rough comparsion to be made since such data are very strongly dependent in the properties of the substances to be processed. A scheme taking into consideration the most important parameters and based on available experimental results and operational experience simplifies the task of preselection of a suitable extractor for a new seperation problem. Final choice and design of extractor to be used under particular conditions are possible only by experiment.
