MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF THE PROCESS OF SEPARATION OF MIXTURES BY LIQUID EXTRACTION

While designing liquid-phase extraction processes, one of the main conditions is to determine the kinetic characteristics of the exchange processes necessary to determine the flows and masses of the components. Existing mass transfer models describe mass transfer processes on a semi-empirical and empirical basis with a limited range of applications, simplifying the real picture in most cases. In this regard, the development of models that more widely describe the processes of liquid-phase extraction and allow their application is considered one of the important tasks. Based on the generalization of the Chilton-Colborne hydrodynamic analogy in gradient flows and further development of the Landau-Levich boundary layer model, a mathematical model has been developed to determine the mass transfer coefficients in the extraction process in continuous and dispersed phases using minimal experimental data obtained at the stage of hydrodynamic studies
