The performance of a continuous-flow stirred tank hydrometallurgical extractor has been simulated. Two models are used for such simulations: a noninteraction model based on macroscopic material balances and an interaction model featuring a stochastic treatment of the microscopic hydrodynamics of the dispersion. The models incorporate equilibrium and intrinsic kinetic expressions pertaining to chemical system of hydrometallurgical interest: iron(III) sulfate-..beta..-alkenyl-8-hydroxyquinoline/xylene. Comparison between the model predictions and the experimental results indicates the interaction model to be more accurate than the noninteraction model.
