Unit Operations Involving Solid-Liquid Mixing

2 Unit Operations Involving Solid-Liquid Mixing 

Solid-liquid mixing is a key aspect of common unit operations in the chemical industry, including  

These unit operations, with the exception of dispersion, involve mass transfer between the solid and liquid phases. 

Dispersion of solids is a physical process where solid particles or aggregates are suspended and dispersed by the action of an agitator in a fluid to achieve a 

In adsorption, desorption, and ion exchange, there is mass transfer between the solid and the solution. Mass transfer is from the liquid phase into the solid in adsorption and from the solid into the liqnid phase for desorption. In ion-exchange operations there is an exchange of ions between the solid and the liquid.

As noted earlier, with the exception of the purely physical process of producing a slurry, unit operations involving solid-liquid mixing are mass transfer processes. These include ...
