SOLID-LIQUID EXTRACTION (PACKED BED TYPE)

PRODUCT DETAILS

Description

This setup is designed to study the performancecharacteristics of solvent extraction of a particularcomponent from a packed bed of solid material. Theapparatus allows study of such systems aswater/inorganic salts, water/sugar bed, methylenechloride/vegetable oil etc. The glass column is fitted with SS mesh to support the solid material. The solvent isintroduced near the bottom of the column and it flowsupward counter-currently to the solids. A pump suppliesthe solvent and flow rate is monitored by means of a Rotameter. Solvent feed tank is kept in a bath fitted withheater and digital temperature controller is used tomaintain the constant temperature.
