Abstract
The present invention provides a process and an apparatus for transferring a solute from a first fluid to a second fluid immiscible in each other.
Claims9
A process of transferring solute from first fluid to second fluid immiscible in each other, said process comprising the steps of introducing second fluid in a gaseous state into the first liquid, wherein the first fluid is maintained at a temperature lower than condensation temperature of the second fluid whereby the condensation of the first fluid forms ultra-fine liquid particles which extracts the solute from the second fluid.
An apparatus for transferring a solute from first fluid to second fluid immiscible in each other comprising:
- an extraction chamber maintained at a first temperature having a first inlet for supplying the first fluid;
- said extraction chamber comprises a second inlet for supplying the second fluid in the extraction chamber;
- said second inlet is coupled to a reservoir suitable for storing second fluid maintained at a second temperature;
- wherein said first temperature is lower than the condensation temperature of the second fluid and said second temperature is higher than the condensation temperature of the second fluid;
- a flash tank coupled to a first outlet provided on the extraction chamber for receiving the solution of second fluid and the solute;
- wherein the flash tank is maintained at a third temperature is which higher than the condensation temperature of the second fluid.
