Mixer-settlers are commonly used for liquid/liquid solvent extraction applications that typically operate in continuous mode. Their name is derived from the two stages that make up the process – the first stage that mixes the two liquid phases together to accomplish mass transfer, and the second stage that uses gravity to naturally separate and settle the phases.
Mixer-settlers are not a new technology, but they are still a popular choice, even in the most modern plants. They are especially practical for difficult extraction processes because of their reliability, flexibility, and ability to handle high volumes of product. By “difficult extraction processes” we mean operations that involve products with challenging characteristics such as:
- difficulty dispersing
- high interfacial tension
- large phase density differential
By connecting several mixer-settler stages in series and arranging for the phases to flow counter-current to each other, a train of mixer-settlers can be adapted to handle the separation problems requiring more than 1 theoretical stage of separation.
