Abstract
The hydrodynamic characteristics of the air water toluene three-phase system in a spray extraction column at 20 °C were examined. The average and local hold-up data of the dispersed phase were determined in dependence on the flow rates of the continuous, dispersed and gaseous phases. The average gas phase hold-up was also measured and analyzed. A comparison was made of the hydrodynamic characteristics of the two-phase (water - toluene) and three-phase (air - water - toluene) systems.
