Stage additivity method and its application to the calculation of counter-current extractors with backmixing

摘要

In this paper, the stage addivity method, based on the stagewise backmixing model, is presented. Application of the stage additivity method to the calculation of counter-current extractors with backmixing is shown by means of an analytical procedure, for the linear case of solute distribution, and a numerical and graphical procedure, for the general case f equilibrium solute distribution in multicomponent extraction system which could be reduced to either one independent solute or two interdependent solutes.
