The centrifugal extractor is a liquid-liquid extraction equipment, mainly used for extraction, stripping and washing in many fields such as chemical, pharmaceuticals, hydrometallurgy, etc. Regarding the extraction and stripping principles of centrifugal extractor, taking the CWL-M series centrifugal extractor as an example, the extraction and stripping principles of the equipment are introduced.

Centrifugal Extractor Extraction Principle

Centrifugal extractor relies on centrifugal force to extract and separate two-phase liquid. The feed aqueous and the extractant are injected into the centrifugal extractor through different inlets according to a certain ratio. Through the mixed mass transfer of the two-phase liquid, the organic components in the feed aqueous are transferred to the extractant. Then, the two phases are quickly separated by the centrifugal force of the equipment and discharged from the body through the outlets to complete the extraction process. This is the extraction principle of the centrifugal extractor.

Centrifugal Extractor Stripping Principle

The stripping operation of the centrifugal extractor is to strip the loaded organic phase containing organic components, separate the organic components and the extractant, and achieve the purpose of stripping. The stripping operation usually adopts the same reverse operation method as the extraction process, that is, by adding appropriate stripping agents, the organic components are replaced from the extract, thereby achieving stripping.

The above is a brief introduction to the extraction and stripping principles of centrifugal extractors. The CWL-M series centrifugal extractor is developed by Zhengzhou Tiei Extraction to address the shortcomings of traditional centrifugal extractor. The power consumption is only 10% to 30% of that of traditional annular gap extractor. At the same time, the centrifugal extractor have short stage retention time, rapid phase separation, high extraction efficiency, and save investment costs and solvent recovery and regeneration costs.
