Study on an ideal start-up model for a modified Scheibel column

CFD-PBM Simulation of Sauter Mean Diameter in a Stirred Sieve-Plate Extraction Column

“…In 2010, Chen et al proposed a modified Scheibel extraction column with sieve plates on both sides of the stirring sections, which successfully inhibits back-mixing between stages and improves extraction efficiency. After that, a series of studies on this kind of modified Scheibel column were carried out, such as the development of an ideal start-up model, correlations to predict the mean droplet diameter of the dispersed phase, , the development of a dispersed phase residence time distribution model, and a nonequilibrium stage model to predict the steady-state mass transfer behavior. Moreover, researchers investigated the flooding characteristics and droplet size under different operating conditions.…”
