Prediction of drop diameter,hold-up and backmixing coefficients in liquid-liquid spray columns

The available literature data for the drop diameter, hold-up and backmixing coefficients were tested experimentally in a pilot plant size spray column. For all these parameters correlations were found which gave results in agreement with the experimental data so that reasonable prediction is possible. Different equations were compared and the ones giving the best fit are recommended.     

Hydrodynamic and mass transfer parameter correlations for the rotating disc contactor

The normal, fragmented manner in which various model hydrodynamic and mass transfer parameters are measured and correlated separately, in the vain hope that accurate predictions of extraction column performance will be eventually possible, is avoided here. The ‘forward mixing’ model parameters are all determined simultaneously, in experiments with two sizes of rotating disc contactor where all required measurements, including drop size distributions and continuous phase profile compositions, are made during solute transfer between phases. Accurate predictions from the derived correlations of dispersed phase hold-up fraction, drop size distributions and extraction efficiency are the result.     

Heat transfer in a liquid-liquid spray column

A theoretical and experimental study of direct contact heat transfer in a kerosene-water spray column has been carried out. A mathematical model for the process with a drop size distribution is proposed, and the associated computer program for the numerical solution developed. Correlations for the overall area heat transfer and axial dispersion coefficients for the column were obtained. Applying the mathematical model with experimentally obtained parameters, temperature profiles of both phases could be predicted. Comparisons with previous work in the literature support the present study. From the results, operation with uniform drop size in a short column is recommended.     

Relationship between Pressure Drop and Mass Transfer in Two-Phase Countercurrent-Flow Columns

Mass transfer and fluid dynamics in a packed column, operated in countercurrent-flow of the two phases, are interconnected by the pressure drop related to unit efficiency. On the basis of this specific pressure drop and the fundamental law of mass transfer for systems, the mass transfer resistance of which is mainly in the gas phase, the packed column efficiency can be correlated. The validity of the model equations received is confirmed by extensive experimental investigations.     

High flux mass transfer: Comparison of liquid-liquid extraction column and drop (Handlos-Baron) model predictions with rotating disc contactor performance

High flux mass transfer measurements have been made in a rotating disc contactor and the results compared with model predicted results. Extraction column and drop model equations for single solute transfer were modified to include the influence of the interphase convective, or drift, flux, previously neglected. The Handlos-Baron drop model was utilized and found to predict the correct trends with changes in drop size. Continuous phase axial dispersion measurements were carried out by pulse tracer injection and by concentration profile measurements at low flux, when simultaneous measurements were made of the continuous phase mass transfer coefficient. When these values were used in the high flux model, high flux extraction efficiencies were accurately predicted but concentration profiles were not.     

Mass-transfer effects on droplet phenomena and extraction column hydrodynamics revisited

The effect of solute mass transfer between the two liquid phases on the drop size distribution and holdup profiles of the dispersed phase in a multistage extraction column is experimentally investigated in this article. Experimental results of the drop size distribution, dispersed-phase volume fraction (holdup), and concentration profiles are obtained for both directions of mass transfer. The drop size distribution is measured by a photomicrographic technique, the holdup profile is measured by an ultrasonic technique, and the concentration profiles are measured by refraction index measurements. A strong influence of the mass-transfer direction on drop size and holdup has been found. The results are in qualitative agreement with the observations of other investigators. Mass transfer of butyric acid from toluene (dispersed) to water (continuous) produced larger drop sizes and lower values of the dispersed-phase holdup than for the equilibrated toluene—water system. For mass transfer of butyric acid from water (continuous) to toluene (dispersed) smaller drop sizes and higher holdup values are observed than for the equilibrated toluene-water system. This behavior significantly affects the performance of the extractor and indicates the necessity for more studies to determine the physics of the phenomenon and to model these processes appropriately.     

Vapour- and liquid-side volumetric mass transfer coefficients measured in distillation column. Comparison with data calculated from absorption correlations

Volumetric mass transfer coefficients in liquid and vapour phases in distillation column were measured by the method consisting of a fitting of the concentration profile of liquid phase along the column obtained by the integration of a differential model to the experimental one. The mathematical model of distillation process includes mass and energy balances and the heat and mass transfer equations. The film model flux expressions with the convective transport contributions have been considered in the transfer equations. Vapour and liquid phases are supposed to be at their saturated temperatures along the column. Effect of changes of phase flows and physical properties of phases on the mass transfer coefficients along the column and non-ideal thermodynamic behaviour of the liquid phase have been taken into account. The concentration profiles of liquid phase are measured in the binary distillation of the ethanol-water and methanol-ethanol systems at total reflux on metal Pall Rings and Intalox saddles 25 mm in the column with diameter of 150 mm. The distillation mass transfer coefficients obtained by the fitting procedure are compared with those calculated from absorption data using Onda's, Billet's and Linek's correlations. The distillation heat transfer coefficients calculated from the model assuming saturated temperatures in both phases are compared with those calculated from the Chilton-Colburn and penetration model analogy between mass and heat transfer. The results have confirmed an agreement neither between distillation and from absorption correlations calculated mass transfer coefficients nor between analogy and from enthalpy balance calculated heat transfer coefficients. Also the concentration profiles obtained by the integration of the differential model of the distillation column using the coefficients from absorption correlation have differed from the experimental profiles considerably.     

Drop size distribution and mean drop size in a pulsed packed extraction column

Drop size distribution and mean drop size are used for calculation of interfacial area available for mass transfer. In this study, the drop size distribution and Sauter mean drop diameter (d₃₂) have been investigated using three different liquid systems in the absence of mass transfer in a pilot plant pulsed packed column. The drop size was measured at four different points along the active column height. Three operating variables have been studied including the pulse intensity (af) and flow rates of both liquid phases. The effect of liquid properties and height of the active column were also investigated. A combination of the pulse intensity and interfacial tension had the largest effect on the drop size distribution while none of the flow rates were of significance. The height of the column played an important role at the bottom of the active column, but the associated effect was reduced with increase of the height. Finally, a normal probability function of number density was proposed for prediction of the drop size distribution with an Average Absolute Relative Error (AARE) of 8.8% for their optimized constant. Furthermore, two correlations were presented involving height or flow rates of the two phases along with operating variables and physical properties of the liquids. These correlations had AARE values of about 8.5 and 7.8%, respectively.
