Abstract

An experimental investigation of the extraction of metal ions in Electrical fields has been made. Charged drops were produced at a metallic nozzle to which a high D.C. potential was applied. A correlation relating the relative extraction rate, to the applied potential, the gap width, the flowrates of aqueous phase and the organic phase is given. The model is applicable up to the onset of backmixing which is estimated at 1.2 Kilovolts/cm. The continuous phase liquid was ACORGA P5100 (supplied by Imperial Chemical Industries, Organic Division, Manchester) in Escaid 100. The relative extraction rate was found to be equal to exp(b.Kv) where b = 0.36 L0.47 Lc-0.76 for gap width less than 7cm and b = 2.32 L-0.55 Lc-0.94 Ld-0.40 for gap width more than 7cm.
