Notes:
A study was made of the effect of physical properties and of geometrical and dynamical characteristics of several liquid-liquid extraction systems on the mass transfer coefficients. The two-component systems studied consisted of the following solvents with water: cyclohexanol, methyl ethyl ketone, furfural, normal butanol, and nitromethane. The transfer studies were made in a horizontal glass pipe with the phases flowing counter-currently at velocities from 1,000 to 15,000 lb./(hr.)(sq. ft.). The transfer of solvents into the water phase and of the water into the solvent phase was measured. The film coefficients of mass transfer for a solvent through the water film and for water through the solvent film were correlated by new dimensionless equations which include interfacial tension and diffusivity.
