A study of gas liquid liquid systems in a gas-agitated extractor with static mixer

The operational characteristics of a gas-liquid-liquid system in a gas-agitated extractor with static mixer were studied. Experimental measurements of the gas holdup, the holdup of the dispersed phase, and the mass transfer coefficient under varying conditions were obtained out in the extractor using air water and kerosene. It was found that the holdup of the dispersed phase and the mass transfer coefficient depend on gas velocity, wafer velocity, kerosene velocity, and the structure within extractor The holdup of gas is independent of the water velocity and kerosene velocity.
