Drop size in a Scheibel extractor is determined by drop size in the mixing sections, Very little change in average drop size takes place in the packing. The amount of extraction in Yorkmesh packing was measured by using a sampling technique developed to obtain point concentrations of both streams inside the column. Drop size and hold-up in a Scheibel column at constant stirrer speed closely paralleled that of a packed column. Stirrer speed had a marked effect on transfer area and concentration gradient in the packed sections. The magnitude of these effects was determined for the methyl isobutyl ketone-- acetic acid-- water system in a four-stage Scheibel extractor. (auth)
