Title: A POLYETHLENE BOX-TYPE MIXER-SETTLER EXTRACTOR

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4306998

Some distinguishing characteristics of the polyethylene box-type mixer- settler area a built-in interface controller adjustable during operation; both phases enter the miking chamber along the impeller axis; the impeller pumps the phases through the extractor; compactness --no interstage piping; unlimited number of stages; no back-mixing; and wide range of impeller speeds. A 300-hr run with rare-earth nitrate --TBP system, 10 times as viscous as water, was quite satisfactory. (T.R.H.)
