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