OSTI ID:4843637
A multi-stage liquid-liquid extraction process is described for contacting and subsequently separating two immiscible liquids. The process consists of feeding the liquids separately to the inlet of a first hydraulic cyclone having overflow and underflow outlets with one outlet relatively large compared with the other outlet. One of the liquids is withdrawn substantially free from the other liquid at the small outlet of the first cyclone and the remaining mixture is withdrawn from the large outlet. The remaining mixture is fed to the inlet of a second cyclone having overflow and underflow outlets in inverse size relation to those of the first cyclone. The other liquid is withdrawn substantially free from the first-mentioned liquid at the relatively small outlet of the second cyclone. The liquid left in the second cyclone is recycled from the large outlet to the inlet of the first cyclone. (N.W.R.)
