    Mathematical Modelling of the Liquid/Liquid Mass Transfer Behaviour in Gas Stirred Ladles
    (Taylor & Francis, 2022) Zhang, Han; Conejo, Alberto N.; Dutta, Abhishek; Ramírez-Argáez, Marco A.; Yan, Han
    A three-dimensional numerical model consistent with physical simulations (water/oil/thymol) has been developed to explore the mass transfer behaviour of sulphur. Euler-Lagrangian and Euler-Euler, were applied to simulate the multiphase flow; compared with experimental data, the Euler-Euler method was more accurate. The small eddy model was used for mass transfer calculations. As a new type of bottom stirring scheme, the effect of central-eccentric parallel injection on mass transfer was investigated. Moving the eccentric nozzle towards the sidewall or increasing the number of eccentric nozzles decreases the mass transfer rate at a constant total gas flow rate. The mass transfer rate increases with increasing central gas flow rate under the differential flow bottom stirring scheme. The single-nozzle central injection is still considered the most superior bottom-blowing scheme. The bubble diameter has an insignificant effect on the liquid–liquid mass transfer. The mass transfer rate of thymol is weakly accelerated with increasing bubble diameter.

    Hydrophobic Deep Eutectic Solvent Effect on Acrylic Acid Separation From Aqueous Media by Using Reactive Extraction and Modeling With Response Surface Methodology
    (Taylor & Francis, 2022) Lalikoğlu, Melisa; Aşçı, Yavuz Selim; Sırma Tarım, Burcu; Yıldız, Mahmut; Arat, Refik
    Hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (HDES) are new-generation green solvents that have emerged in recent years. In this study, the efficiency of using HDES as a solvent in separating acrylic acid from its aqueous solution by reactive extraction method was investigated. As a solvent, HDES prepared with a mixture of TOPO and menthol has been used for the recovery of acrylic acid for the first time. Physical properties of HDES mixtures such as density, viscosity, and refractive index were determined. In reactive extraction experiments, TOPO, one of the two basic components in the solvent, was also employed as an extractant. With the help of response surface methodology based on Box-Behnken design, the effect of the parameters of amount of extractant (0.1–0.9 g), Menthol/TOPO molar ratio (2–4), and initial acid concentration (3–9%) on the distribution coefficient was investigated and the model equation was formed. The highest distribution coefficient (D = 7.8) was achieved with the molar ratio of Menthol/TOPO is 2. Upon examining all the results obtained, it was seen that more than 90% of acrylic acid could be extracted from the aqueous phase to the organic phase.
