Resumo(s)
Given the difficulties associated with experimentation upon liquid-liquid extraction processes,
computer simulation of these processes has recently acquired great relevance and usefulness as
complement, if not an alternative, to direct experimentation. This is becoming increasingly
attractive, as both the power and the availability of personal computing increase.
Recently, Ribeiro (1995), Ribeiro ef al. (1997)) developed a fast and precise algorithm,
adapting population balance models as Coulaloglou and Tavlarides' (1977) for the dispersed
phase breakage and coalescence, and both the rigid and the oscillating drop models as
proposed by Cruz-Pinto ef al. (1983), for mass transfer. The algorithm enabled the simulation’
of the evolution in time of the trivariate joint distribution of drop properties in two-phase
continuous mixers, in steady and transient states. A simplified version of this algorithm, that
calculates the drop size distribution and the mean and standard deviation of solute
concentration within each volume class, was further developed by Regueiras ef al (1996).
In this work, the applicability of this simplified algorithm to the dynamic simulation of a Kithni
liquid-liquid extraction column is illustrated. A transport model was developed from previous
models of Cruz-Pinto (1979). Coulaloglou and Tavlarides’ (1977) drop interaction model was
again adopted.
It is shown that the algorithm is able to describe both the transient and the steady-state
behaviour of a Kihni pilot column (Technical University of Munich), and the simulation runs
that were made show good agreement with the experimental results. The present version of the
algorithm predicts local hold-ups and drop size distributions at different column stages. So far,
the results do not include mass transfer, but future work will contemplate this feature.
