A mixer-settler with air-pulsed mixing tubes is described. The mixing tubes dip into the mixer compartments and a double-acting piston and cylinder arrangement moves the liquid and mixes it by the alternating increase and decrease of pressure. The system includes a filled U-tube arrangement which prevents escape of radioactivity and transmits pressure to the mixing tubes. The mixing occurs when the lighter phase is drawn into the tube and expelled into the heavy layer. The stroke and frequency of the pressure pulses are controlled by adjusting the distance between actuator switches connected to the piston rod. (T.R.H.)
