Effecting liquid-liquid contact

摘要: An apparatus and method are disclosed for effecting liquid-liquid contact. aqueous medium an organic hydrophobic liquid fed to a mixing chamber in which "primary" dispersion, capable of disengaging sustantially completely into two separate layers on standing under gravity, is formed by suitable means. Dispersion allowed flow upwardly downwardly from the upper lower baffled zones positioned immediately above below respectively. Disengaged lighter collect communicating with zone, while disengaged heavier zone. Heavier return zone By removing respective media chambers at same rates ratio as they favorable (e.g. 1:1) can be maintained despite different 5:1) volume feed chamber.
