The hydrodynamic characteristics of the air water toluene three-phase system in a spray extraction column at 20 °C were examined. The average and local hold-up data of the dispersed phase were determined in dependence on the flow rates of the continuous, dispersed and gaseous phases. The average gas phase hold-up was also measured and analyzed. A comparison was made of the hydrodynamic characteristics of the two-phase (water - toluene) and three-phase (air - water - toluene) systems.

Abstract Caffeine and coumarin are organic compounds of plant origin, which have biological activity and have found wide application in medicine, pharmaceutical, perfumery and food industries. Recovery of caffeine and coumarin from aqueous solutions using liquid-liquid extraction is the most effective method. In the present work the kinetic dependences of caffeine and coumarin in the aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) of PEG 1500 - Na2SO4 - H2O were experimentally obtained. It was established that equilibrium in the system is achieved after 17 minutes for caffeine and after 12 minutes for coumarin. The effect of ultrasound on the extraction rate of caffeine and coumarin in an aqueous two-phase system was also studied.

This paper is about the numerical solutions for a computational fluid dynamics-population balance model (CFD-PBM) coupled model of two-phase flow in a liquid-liquid extraction column. The model accounts for a complete description between both the dispersed and continuous phases, and constitutes a hyperbolic system of equations having a linearly degenerate nature. A numerical algorithm based on operator splitting approach for the numerical solution of the model is used. The homogeneous part is solved using the TVD MUSCL-Hancock scheme. Numerical results are presented, demonstrating the accuracy of the proposed methods and in particular, the accurate numerical description of the flow in the vicinity of the contact discontinuities.
