The set-up consists of a glass column packed with Rasching rings. Continuous counter current contacts between the solvent and solute phases are made, which results into extract and raffinate streams. Flow meters (Rotameters) are used to note the flow of solvent &solute respectively.
The set-up consists of a glass column packed with Rasching rings. Continuous counter current contacts between the solvent and solute phases are made, which results into extract and raffinate streams. Flow meters (Rotameters) are used to note the flow of solvent &solute respectively. The continuous and dispersed phase streams are metered and derived from separate containers. The total set-up is housed in a well-designed rigid structure. The structure also supports tanks, piping, Rotameters, panel and other units.
•Arrangement is done for changing height of interface zone.
•An ENGLISH instruction manual consisting of experimental procedures, block diagram etc. will be provided along with the Apparatus.
•The whole set-up is well designed and arranged on a rigid structure painted with industrial PU Paint.
Experimentation/Learning Objectives
•To determine overall mass transfer co-efficient based on continuous & dispersed phase.
•To determine individual “Height of Transfer Unit” based on continuous & dispersed phase.
•To determine overall “Height of Transfer Unit” based on continuous & dispersed phase.
