Hydraulic Performance of a 5-cm CINC Contactor for Caustic-side Solvent Extraction

The hydraulic performance of a 5-cm centrifugal contactor from Costner Industries Nevada Corporation (CINC) was measured for both one- and two-phase flow. Flow conditions and test liquids as well as the liquid height in the annular mixing zone and the occurrence of discontinuous (slug) flow in the interstage lines are reported. Results are compared with earlier results obtained using 2- and 4-cm contactors made at Argonne National Laboratory. In each case, one-phase flow tests can be used to predict behavior in two-phase flow. This makes the one-phase flow test a quality control tool for evaluating contactor rotors as they are manufactured. These results indicate that the 5-cm contactor works in the same way as the 2- and 4-cm contactors.
