YORK SCHEIBEL'S EXTRACTION COLUMN

PRODUCT DETAILS

Description

The York Scheibel's Column falls in the class of gravityoperatedextractors with mechanical agitation. Thepresence of alternatively agitating and calming sections ina York Scheibel's column yield higher extraction efficiencythan the conventional packed column. In the setup acontinuous counter current contact between the solventand solute phases is made which results into extract andraffinate streams. Rotameters are used to measure theflow of solvent and solute respectively. The continuousand dispersed phase streams are metered and derivedfrom separate containers. Each stage consists of a wovenwire mesh section and a mixing section. The propellerspeed can be controlled to the desired value by acontroller. Total set-up is housed in a well-designed rigidstructure. The structure also supports tanks, piping,Rotameter, panel and other units.
