Measurement of mass transfer coefficients in a mechanically agitated, nondispersing contactor operating with a molten mixture of LiF--BeF/sub 2/--ThF/sub 4/ and molten bismuth
A mechanically agitated, nondispersing contactor in which molten fluoride salt and molten bismuth phases were contacted has been built and operated. The mass transfer performance of the contactor was evaluated over a range of agitator speeds under conditions in which the major resistance to mass transfer was in the salt phase. The measured mass transfer rates were compared with rates predicted by literature correlations. The equipment necessary to contain the salt and bismuth at approximately 600/sup 0/C is described along with the complete set of experimental data obtained during operation. 11 figures, 12 tables.
