    Jahnavi 03
    The Podbielniak Extractor is a type of liquid-liquid extraction equipment that uses centrifugal force and countercurrent flow to efficiently separate substances. It allows for extraction, reaction, separation, and washing processes to occur in a single compact machine that takes up less floor space and uses less power than conventional equipment. The Podbielniak Extractor consists of a hollow rotating shaft that supports perforated concentric cylindrical shells. Liquids are introduced on opposite ends and centrifugal force causes them to move in opposite directions through the shells, facilitating mass transfer between the liquids before they exit through the shaft.

    WHAT IS EXTRACTION ?

     It is a liquid-liquid mass transfer operation.

     Extraction is the process of separation whereby one substance is


    gotten out of a mixture.

     The required solute from the carrier liquid is separated by making


    that mixture to get contact with the solvent .
    THE PODBIELNIAK EXTRACTOR

     By combining centrifugal force with counter (or) cross current flow,


    Podbielniak (Pod) Extractor Centrifuges achieve high degrees of
    extraction and separation in a single machine.
     This Podbielnaik Extractor enables you to process more in less floor
    space, at less power usage.
     This Podbielnaik Extractor can handle following processes:
    1) Extraction
    2) Reaction
    3) Separation
    4) Washing
    CONSTRUCTION

     The equipment is mounted by an outer casing


    and consists of a shaft mounted centrally.

     Various thin concentric cylindrical shells are


    placed one above the other.

     These cylindrical shells are perforated


    throughout their lengths and circumference and
    the axis of these thin perforated cylindrical shells
    align with the axis of the shaft.
     The shaft is hollow from inside.

     Feed tubes are placed inside the rotor, the shaft supports the rotor and
    also provides port which serve as liquid inlets and outlets.

     The rotating drum is provided by a drive pulley. Proper


    sealing arrangements are made at the contact between
    stationary and rotating parts.
    WORKING
     The heavy liquid and the light liquid are introduced into the shaft but they

    are introduced from the opposite ends of the shaft.

     The heavy liquid is let out from the center of the shaft and it spreads

    throughout the equipment from that point.

     The light liquid is channeled to the periphery of the rotating drum.

     Due to the rotation effect and due to the density of the heavy liquid, the

    heavy liquid moves outwards away from the shaft towards the periphery

    of the rotating drum.


     Due to this opposite movement of the both liquids they come in contact,
    where mass transfer of interested component takes place.

     The heavy liquid which reaches the periphery moves through the channel
    and gets out of the equipment through the shaft.

     The light liquid which reaches the centre of the shaft moves in and gets out
    through the shaft from the opposite direction of the heavy liquid.

     In this way a continuous operation is maintained.


    ADVANTAGES
     Low space requirement.

     Very small contact time.

     Can handle liquids having very

    small density differences.

    DISADVANTAGES
     High maintenance cost

     High capital cost
