Abstract
A report is given on the simulation of extraction columns with pulsating perforated trays. Furthermore the fluid dynamics for a column of this nature are discussed. Afterwards, the materials balances are solved allowing for correlations for mass transfer and fluid dynamics. The result of the simulation is the axial concentration profile as a function of the pulsation frequency, the ratio of the volume flow densities of the two phases, and the number of trays. A specimen calculation is carried out for a system consisting of methyl isobutyl ketone, acetic acid, and water. With the results thus obtained, examples are given for favorable column designs, and an operating diagram is drawn up for a pulsating extraction column.
