Abstract

A photographic method was used for the estimation of drop size and drop size distribution obtained from multiple
nozzles for a chemical system (zinc/di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid) for solute transfer from continuous to dispersed
and dispersed to continuous phase. The experiments were performed in a glass spray column under semi-batch operation.
Experimentally obtained drop sizes were compared with those predicted from drop size correlations for jetting and
non-jetting conditions and the ones predicting best results are given for design purposes.
