PVC Extraction Tank(Extraction boxes, extractors, and mixing clarification units) are a series of contact extraction equipment, consisting of a mixing system, mixing zone, clarification zone, and phase separation zone. In each stage, the two immiscible liquid phases are mixed, clarified, and phase-separated, thereby achieving mass transfer and separation of the target solute between different liquid phases.
Work Process
The specific working process of the extraction tank (mixed clarification tank) involves the liquid material and extractant being pumped into the mixing chamber through their respective feed ports by a feed pump. A high-speed stirrer then mixes the material and extractant for mass transfer. Subsequently, they pass through overflow baffles into the clarification chamber, where separation of the light and heavy phases occurs under the force of gravity. The separated phases then enter different outlets, completing one extraction cycle. In actual production, the extraction tank is typically a multi-stage series configuration, including extraction, reverse extraction, washing, and regeneration sections, and the specific configuration depends on the production process.

Mixed mass transfer process
Raw Material IntroductionThe raw liquid to be extracted and the extracting agent are separately introduced into the mixing chamber of the extraction tank through their respective feed ports. For instance, in hydrometallurgy, a water solution containing metal ions serves as the raw liquid, while an organic extracting agent is introduced as another liquid phase into the mixing chamber.
Agitate and MixThe mixing chamber is equipped with a blender, which rotates at high speed, allowing the raw material liquid and solvent to come into full contact and mix. Under the action of blending, the solute is transferred from the raw material liquid to the solvent, forming a two-phase solution. The intensity and duration of blending have a significant impact on the mass transfer efficiency; insufficient blending may result in inadequate contact between the two phases, reducing the mass transfer efficiency, while excessive blending could lead to emulsification, increasing the difficulty of subsequent separation.
Separation process
Overflow enters the clarification chamberThe mixed liquid enters the clarification chamber through overflow baffles. The clarification chamber is a spacious room with a large cavity volume, providing ample space for the liquid to settle and separate.
Gravity Natural SeparationIn the clarification chamber, due to the different densities of the raw liquid and the extracting agent, under the influence of gravity, the two phases gradually separate. The denser phase (usually the heavy phase) sinks to the bottom, while the less dense phase (usually the light phase) floats to the top, forming a clear phase interface.
Partial contact reduces mass transfer efficiency; excessive stirring may lead to emulsification, increasing the difficulty of subsequent separation.
Key Features
● High efficiency level
●Simple Structure: The extraction tank typically consists of a tank body, interface regulating tube, motor reducer, stirrer shaft, impeller, speed controller, and a movable platform, etc., with a relatively simple structure.
●Stable Operation and High Adaptability: Due to the larger volume of the extraction tank and the higher liquid storage capacity, it can accommodate a certain range of fluctuations in the feedstock liquid. After balancing, the operation is relatively stable and highly adaptable.
● Scalable Reliability: The single-stage extraction efficiency and other design parameters remain relatively reliable after scaling up.
