The Effect Of Bi-directional Recycle Streams On Extractor Operations
Abstract
Economic operation of extraction processes often requires that the solvents be returned to the process for reuse after the solute products have been removed from them. Complete separation of the solute from the solvent is seldom accomplished so that small quantities of solute are returned to the extractor with the solvent. An algorithm is developed and implemented which describes the effect of bi-directional solute recycle on the operation of an extractor. This algorithm enables the operator and designer to quantify the effect of recycle and to optimize the operations of extraction and solvent purification as a combined operation. © 1977.
