Solids Leaching Procedure

Overview

A Solids Leaching Procedure can be created by selecting the following menu option:
Unit Procedures } Extraction } Solids Leaching

	Operating Mode	Continuous or Semi-Continuous
	Host Equipment	Solids Mixer-Settler Extractor
	Emissions Port (Vent)	No
	Special Input/Output Ports	Yes

This unit procedure simulates partitioning of solutes between two liquid phases in a mixer-settler extractor.

Special Inputs / Outputs

●      Solids: the designated input port for the solids.

●      Solvent: the designated input port for the solvent.

●      Light Phase Output: the designated output port for the light phase.

●      Heavy Phase Output: the designated output port for the heavy phase.

The following operation types are currently supported in the context of this unit procedure:

●      Leach, see Solids Leaching

●      CIP, see Clean-In-Place (CIP)

●      Hold, see Holding

●      SIP, see Steam-In-Place (SIP)

Note that operations CIP, Hold, and SIP are only available in semi-continuous operating mode.
