Karr extractor scaling rules

Karr and Lo [63] have developed sin jle scaling rules for the Karr extractor. To scale HETS from one column size to another, requires that the plate spacing, amplitude, and total volumetric flow rate per unit area be kept the same for each extractor. They foimd for a high interfacial-tension system such as the o-xylene, acetic-acid, water system, that... 

The HETS for an extractor can be estimated by using the scaling rules developed by Karr and Lo [62] and experimental values of HETS summarized in Table 6.31. First, determine if the extraction system is a low interfacial-tension system or a high interfacial-tension system. Next, select a value of HETS from Table 6.31 from the following systems ...
