Title: IMPROVEMENTS IN LIQUID-LIQUID EXTRACTION APPARATUS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4039469

A description is given of a liquid-liquid extraction apparatus and of the method of effecting a net transportation in opposed directions of a heavy liquid and a light liquid. The apparatus consists of a plurality of series- connected ves sels, inlet and outlet means for the phases at the ends, and a pulsing means. The upper part of one vessel is joined to the lower part of the next vessel by one connection line or a plurality of parallel-connected lines. The lower part of the second vessel is below the upper part of the first vessel. The volume of each connection line is less than or the same as the volume displaced by one stroke of the pulsing means. The method is characterized in that a mixture of both liquids is caused to flow to and fro between adjacent vessels through the connection lines which joins the vessels. (N.W.R.)
