Mixer-Settlers manufacture, Mixer-Settlers for sale, Mixer-Settlers introduction

Mixer-Settlers are one of the oldest types of extraction equipment. Mixer-Settlers come in all kinds of shapes and sizes but as the name indicates their defining feature is that they are a combination of mixers and settlers.

Various Sections in Mixer-Settlers

Mixing Section: It is the part of the equipment which has at least two inlet pipes. One pipe for the feed and the other pipe for the solvent. This section is a chamber in which two fluids get into contact and an agitator is installed in order to mix the liquids thoroughly. Baffles are also installed so that mixing is efficient and the vortex is eliminated.

Settling Section: It is the part of the section where the mixed liquids enter in order to separate into two different phases based on density differences and there are weirs in order to separate both the phases.

Recirculation pipelines: some part of the separated phases may be taken and fed back to the mixing section in order to maintain the ratio of the feed and the solvent.

Mixer-Settler Working Principle:

Extraction is a process in which the components of interest in a liquid mixture are separated by contacting the feed liquid mixture with another liquid called solvent and mixing both the liquids thoroughly. The components of the feed liquid mixture will redistribute themselves between the feed itself and the solvent.
The purpose of extraction can be either to remove impurities from the feed liquid mixture or to separate the valuable components from the feed liquid mixture.
