Liquid-liquid extraction intensification by micro-droplet rotation in a hydrocyclone

Abstract The previous literature reports that using a hydrocyclone as an extractor intensifies the mass transfer and largely reduces the consumption of extractant from 1800–2000 kg h−1 to 30–90 kg h−1. However, the intensification mechanism has not been clear. This paper presents experimental and nu...
