Liquid-Liquid Extraction in Packed Bed Apparatus

The set-up consists of a glass column packed withRasching rings. Continuous counter current contactsbetween the solvent and solute phases are made, whichresults into extract and raffinate streams. Flow meters(Rotameters) are used to note the flow of solvent &solute respectively. The continuous and dispersed phasestreams are metered and derived from separatecontainers. The total set-up is housed in a well-designedrigid structure. The structure also supports tanks, piping,Rotameters, panel and other units.
