This paper reviews the current literature on extraction column simulation when using droplet
population modelling. In that regard, numerical methods will be briefly discussed and …

Recently, the use of nanoparticles in extraction columns has gained increasing attention due
to their potential to enhance mass transfer processes. Most of the reported work, however …

The Kenics static mixer is anticipated to replace conventional extraction apparatuses
because of its outstanding mass transfer performances and economy. The lack of a …

The pulsed column is one of the most used contactors in solvent extraction processes,
especially in the nuclear fuel treatment industry and for hydrometallurgical applications. The …

A hierarchical approach for modeling and simulation of coupled hydrodynamics and mass
transfer in liquid extraction columns using detailed and reduced bivariate population …

This study aims at evaluating the dispersed phase holdup and Sauter mean drop diameter
(d 32) of three liquid-liquid systems in an Oldshue–Rushton pilot column. The systems …

In this paper we present a new multiphase computational model for polydisperse turbulent
gas-liquid flows. In this model the gas phase is transported by a single convection equation …

The pulsed disc-doughnut column is used in various industrial applications. Knowing size
distributions of the dispersed phase droplets through this column is necessary to …

In this study, the computational fluid dynamics–population balance model (CFD–PBM) was
developed for a five-compartment pilot-scale rotating disc contactor (RDC) using the solving …

Accurate models for pulsed sieve tray extraction columns (PSEs) are commonly based on
population balance models (PBMs) incorporating semi-empirical sub-models to account for …
