CHANGES IN EXTRACTORS TO PREVENT EMULSIONS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4238976
; ; ; ; ; ; ;
A laboratory-scale extractor was built and used to study the breaking of emulsions. A random experiment led to the discovery that by pumping ether layer and bottom of extractor simultaneously in the proper ratio (during recycling) the emulsion is broken up. The production extractors were then modified. The experiments and resultant modifications are described. (T.R.H.)
