    Description Of Multiple stage liquid liquid centrifugal extractors

    The LC-50 multi-stage liquid-liquid centrifugal extractor is designed for continuous counter-current extraction and efficient phase separation in  lab solvent extraction processes. Featuring compact structure, high extraction efficiency, low solvent hold-up, and stable continuous operation, it is widely used in hydrometallurgy, rare earth separation, pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and wastewater treatment applications.

    The centrifugal extraction machine can be used as a single unit or can be connected in multiple stages to achieve counter-current extraction. It has high mass transfer efficiency, short two-phase residence time, low retention volume, and is easy to operate. The rotation speed, flow ratio and mixing intensity can be changed as needed.

    Working Process Of Multiple stage liquid liquid centrifugal extractors

    1. Mixed mass transfer process
    The light and heavy phase solutions enter the mixing chamber from the light phase inlet and heavy phase inlet in a certain proportion, and the mixing and mass transfer process is quickly completed under the action of the stirring paddle.
    2. Two-phase separation process
    The mixed liquid enters the drum under the action of the static turbine. In the cavity area formed by the web, the mixed liquid quickly rotates synchronously with the drum. Under the action of centrifugal force, the heavy phase liquid with high density gradually moves away during the upward flow process. The center of the drum moves toward the drum wall; the light phase liquid with low density gradually moves away from the drum wall and toward the center. The clarified two-phase liquid finally enters the collection chamber through each channel and flows out along the tangent square, completing the two-phase separation. process.

    How Multiple stage liquid liquid centrifugal extractors work?

    In counter-current mode, the aqueous and organic phases flow in opposite directions through multiple stages. Inside each centrifugal extractor:
    • Liquids are intensively mixed in a rotating mixing zone.
    • The mixture enters a high-speed centrifugal separation zone.
    • The two phases are quickly separated under strong centrifugal force.
    • Each phase flows to the next stage in counter-current configuration.
    • This design ensures maximum mass transfer efficiency and minimal solvent loss.

    Features Of Multiple stage liquid liquid centrifugal extractors
    • Simple and stable structure: top-suspended structure, no bottom bearings, and no risk of leakage;
    • High extraction efficiency: the independent mixing chamber and stirring paddle can be replaced according to the requirements of the mixing system;
    • Energy saving: non-annular mixing structure, the drum itself does not participate in mixing, low energy consumption and can effectively avoid the emulsification phenomenon caused by over-mixing;
    • Corrosion resistance: The material can be made of stainless steel metal materials or non-metallic composite materials;
    • Good sealing performance: multi-channel shaft seal design, optional magnetic transmission structure.
