Rate of coalescence of the dispersed phase in a laboratory mixer settler unit: Part I

Abstract
The rate of coalescence of large swarms of drops of a dispersed phase in the settler of a stage, laboratory mixer settler has been studied in order to establish the parameters that determine the dimensions of settlers used in extraction processes and effluent treatment. Part I is devoted to a description of the apparatus, experimental technique, and presentation of experimental results. Part II describes the development of a mathematical model which has been employed to analyze the results and is submitted as the basis for the design of settlers.
