摘要:
In a solvent extraction settler arrangement the outlet box comprises an inner tube arranged vertically inside a shaft, the inner tube being spaced from the side wall of the shaft to define an intermediate space between the inner tube and the shaft. The inner tube has an inner space and an opening at the lower part of the inner tube adjacent the bottom to form a flow path for the heavy solution phase to flow to the inner space. The shaft comprises a second outlet which is separate in relation to the discharge outlet and above the level of the discharge outlet. The second outlet opens through the side wall to the intermediate space at a location adjacent to the upper end of the shaft and at the level of said layer of entrained light solution phase for discharging said layer of entrained light solution phase from the intermediate space.

The launder (1) comprises a launder module group (5) consisting of self-supporting launder element modules (3), each having exterior dimensions, strength and handling and securing means (4) conforming to shipping container standards to enable shipping container standard compatible transportability.
摘要:
A solvent extraction settler (1) comprising a foundation (2). The solvent extraction settler (1) comprises self-supporting modules (3) each having the exterior dimensions, strength and corner fittings (4) conforming to shipping container standards. The foundation (2) comprises a plurality of pillars (5) on which the modules (3) are supported at a height above the ground level, thereby providing a space for piping and access below the settler. The pillars (5) comprise shipping standard compatible container lashing fittings (6, 7) to which the corner fittings (4) of the modules (3) can be connected.
摘要:
A solvent extraction settler arrangement comprises a settler (1) having a feed end (2) and a discharge end (3), said settler being arranged to separate solution phases from a dispersion fed from the feed end while the dispersion flows to the discharge end. Elongated discharge launders (4, 5) are arranged at the discharge end (3) of the settler for each solution phase to be separated from the dispersion, each discharge launder (4, 5) including a first end (6), an outlet (7, 8) arranged at the first end, and a closed second end (9). At least one of the discharge launders (4, 5) has a form of a conical tube with a cross-section converging from the first end (6) towards the second end (9) and an inclined bottom (10, 11) descending from the second end (9) towards the first end (6).
摘要:
A solvent extraction settler arrangement comprising a mixing unit for preparing a dispersion from mutually immiscible solutions and a settler having a feed end and a discharge end. The settler is arranged to separate solution phases from a dispersion fed from the feed end while the dispersion flows towards the discharge end. The arrangement further comprises a feeding device located at the feed end for feeding the dispersion prepared by the mixing unit to the settler. The feeding device comprises an elongated feed launder having a first end for receiving the dispersion from the mixing unit, and a second end. The feed launder extends alongside the feed end of the settler. The feed launder has a form of a conical tube with a cross-section converging towards the second end and an inclined bottom ascending towards the second end. A plurality of feed pipes are arranged along the length of the feed launder at a distance from each other, each feed pipe having a third end opening to the inner space of the feed launder at the bottom to receive the dispersion from the feed launder and a fourth end opening to the settler to conduct the dispersion to the settler.
摘要:
A solvent extraction method for hydrometallurgical liquid-liquid extraction processes, in which method solution phases are separated from a dispersion while the dispersion flows horizontally in a settler from a feed end to a discharge end. The mass flow of the dispersion and solution phases is divided into a plurality of parallel and mutually separated plug flows flowing in the settler from the feed end to the discharge end. The settler (1) comprises a plurality of elongated settler sections (4) which are mutually separated and side by side in parallel to each other, Inc settler sections (4) extending from the feed end (2) to the discharge end (3), forming a plurality of mutually separated parallel plug flow channels.
