3D PRINTING SUPPRESSORFOR SMALL ARMSUSING FUSEDDEPOSITIONMODELINGRichard Collin Sinclair (15349201) 29 April 2023 (has links)
<p> </p>
<p>Metal 3D printing is the industry standard for manufacturing experimental suppressors due to the limitations of conventional, subtractive machining methods. Long print times, difficulty sintering, and cleaning of metal 3D printed suppressor components limit the development time. Plastic printed components are able to be produced quicker, safer, and at a lower cost than their metal 3D printed counterparts. Reducing the time and cost of manufacturing will allow for an increased pace of innovations in suppressor design.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Utilizing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in combination with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) will expedite the process of designing 3D printed plastic suppressors. Solidworks FEA determined the maximum stress applied to the blast chamber of the plastic suppressor. ANSYS Fluent CFD simulations were used to qualitatively compare the sound pressure levels of an unsuppressed and suppressed 22LR pistol. Comparing the results of the CFD simulations gave insight into the effectiveness of the selected baffle structure.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>A prototype 3D printed suppressor was optimized for strength according to manufacturing practices for printed plastic small arms. Testing occurred at an indoor range where peak impulse noise was measured for an unsuppressed 22LR pistol and a plastic printed suppressor. The printed suppressor reduced the small arms impulse noise from 150.5 dB(spl) to 132.4 dB(spl). Impulse noises below the pain threshold of 140 dB(spl) do not require hearing protection for operation. Utilizing FEA, CFD, and FDM prototyping methods in this work has laid the foundation for future works in the rapid prototyping and optimizations of suppressors for small arms.</p>

Investigating the effect of coarse particle addition on the measured rheological parameters of fine clay slurriesPaulsen, Eric 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MScIng)--University of Stellenbosch, 2007. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Due to economic and environmental constraints mining operations are placed under
increasing pressure to effectively manage and operate tailings disposal operations.
Restrictions imposed on water usage and tailings operations footprint have led to
higher density and wider particle size distribution slurries conveyed to tailings areas.
One means of efficiently disposing the tailings is co-disposal. In this method a
concentrated fine vehicle slurry is used to convey a coarser fraction. This produces a
higher density of tailings, with a number of advantages both upstream and downstream
of the tailings process. Limited research has been conducted on the effect of coarse
particles on the non-Newtonian rheological properties of these slurries. This lack of
information complicates the design and reliable operation of these systems.
This project aims at gaining a clearer understanding as to the mechanisms involved in
the addition of coarse particles to a fine clay slurry vehicle; and to provide a means of
estimating the measured slurry rheological properties. A number of experiments were
designed to test the slurry (both Kaolin only, and Kaolin-coarse particle mixtures)
rheological properties using a Couette viscometer (for the dynamic flow properties of
yield stress and plastic viscosity) and a vane instrument (for the static yield stress
measurements).
The slurries were prepared in varying Kaolin clay solids concentrations with reverse
osmosis water. Glass beads and two types of industrial sand were used as the coarse
fractions. All of the coarse particles had a similar size but varied significantly in shape.
Slurry pH and temperature readings were monitored throughout the tests.
Tests were done initially on clay only slurries. The rheological properties of these
slurries were repeatable, and no noticeable variations of properties with time were
observed. The yield stress (both static and dynamic) and plastic viscosity data were
well correlated with established relationships.
Coarse particles were added to the clay only slurries, and then removed. The
remaining clay only slurry exhibited the same rheological properties as the initial clay only slurry. The presence of coarse particles increased all the measured rheological
properties (i.e. dynamic yield stress, Bingham viscosity, and static vane yield stress) in
a fashion resembling the effect of adding clay to a clay only slurry. In addition, the
change in measured rheological property by addition of coarse particle was
independent of the clay fraction in the clay slurry. Furthermore, with both the clay only
slurries and clay and coarse sand slurries, a constant linear relationship existed
between the static and dynamic yield stress.
Several correlations from the literature were found to provide reasonable prediction of
the rheological property variations observed. These empirical and semi-empirical
models however did little to explain the mechanisms involved in coarse particle
addition. A new correlation has been proposed, Residual Clay Concentration, which
predicts the change in rheological property based on an additional clay concentration,
which in turn is a linear function of the coarse particle concentration. The accuracy of
this model further strengthens the belief that the coarse particle acts in a similar
fashion to a floc.
By means of a case study example the importance of selecting an appropriate model
for design was illustrated. The Residual Clay Concentration method provided the most
conservative results. This combined with its theoretical basis strengthens the models
recommendation for use in design. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: As gevolg van ekonomiese en omgewings beperkinge word mynwese nywerhede
onder toenemende druk geplaas om doeltreffende afvalstroom bestuur en operasie toe
te pas. Beperkinge geplaas op water gebruik en afvalstroom area-groote ly tot hoër
digthede en wyer partikel-grooteverspreidings van flodders vervoer na afval areas.
Een manier om van die afval doeltreffend ontslae te raak en te berg is deur medeberging.
In die metode word ‘n gekonsentreerde fyn flodder gebruik as draer van ‘n
growwer partikel-fraksie. Dit ly tot ‘n hoër digtheid flodder, met verskeie voordele in
beide die op – en afstroom prosesse. Beperkte navorsing is gedoen op die effek van
growwe partikels op die nie-Newoniese rheolgiese eienskappe van hierdie flodders.
Hierdie tekort aan informasie maak die effektiewe, betroubare bedryf en operasie van
die sisteme meer ingewikkeld.
Hierdie projek is daarheen gemik om ‘n beter begrip te ontwikkel met betrekking tot
die meganismes betrokke in die byvoeging van growwe partikels aan ‘n fyn klei-agtige
flodder draer; en om ‘n manier te voorsien wat die rheologiese eienskappe kan beraam.
Verskeie eksperimente was ontwerp om die flodders (beide slegs Kaolien, en Kaoliengrowwe
partikel mengsels) se rheologiese eienskappe te toets deur die gebruik van ‘n
Couette-viskometer. Die Couette viskometer was gebruik om die dinamiese
eienskappe (van grens-spanning, en plastiese viskositet) te meet. ‘n Vaan apparaat is
gebruik om die eienskap van statiese grens-spanning te meet.
Die flodders was voorberei in verskeie Kaolien konsentrasies met tru-osmosis water.
Glas krale en twee tipes industriële sand is gebruik as die growwe fraksies. Al die
growwe partikels het soortgelyke groottes gehad, maar het grootliks verskil in vorm.
Die flodder pH en temperatuur lesings is deurentyd nagegaan.
Toetse was aanvanklik gedoen op die klei-alleenlike flodders. Die gemete reologiese
eienskappe van die flodders was herhaalbaar, en geen opmerkbare veranderinge van
die eienskappe met betrekking tot tyd is gemeet nie. Die grens-spanning (beide statiese
en dinamiese) en plastiese viskositeit is goed gekorrelleer met gevestigde verhoudinge. Growwe partikels is aan die klei-alleenlike flodders bygevoeg, en daarnae verwyder.
Die oorblywende klei-alleenlike flodder het dieselfde gemete rheologiese eienskappe
getoon as die oorspronklike klei-allenlike flodder. Die teenwoordigheid van growwe
partikels het na ‘n toename van al die gamete rheologiese eienskappe gelei wat fisies
baie soortgelyk is aan die byvoeging van klei tot ‘n klei-alleenlike flodder. Verder, met
beide die klei-alleenlike en klei-growwe partikel flodders het ‘n konstante liniëre
funksie tussen die statiese en dinamiese grens-spannings bestaan.
Verskeie verhoudings uit die literatuur het goeie korrelasie bewerkstellig met die
waargenome rheologie veranderinge. Hierdie empiriese en semi-empiriese modelle
doen egter min om die megansimes betrokke in die toevoeging van growwe partikels
te verduidelik. ‘n Nuwe korrelasie is voorgestel, naamlik die Residu Klei Konsentrasie.
Hierdie model voorspel die verandering in reologiese eienskappe gebaseer op ‘n
addisionele klei konsentrasie, wat ‘n liniëre funkise is van die growwe partikel
konsentrasie. Die goeie korrelasie gesien met die model versterk die idée dat die
growwe partikel in ‘n soortgelyke manier as ‘n flok gedra in die teenwoordigheid van
ander flokke.
Deur middel van ‘n tipiese industriële voorbeeld is die belangrikheid in die keuse van
die regte korrelasie geillustreer. Die Residu Klei Konsentrasie metode het die mees
konservatiewe resultate gelewer. Hierdie feit gekombineerd met die model se soliede
teoreitiese beginsels versterk dit as voorgestelde korrelasie vir ontwerp.

Reactive absorption kinetics of CO2 in alcoholic solutions of MEA: fundamental knowledge for determining effective interfacial mass transfer areaDu Preez, Louis Jacobus 04 1900 (has links)
Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2014. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The reactive absorption rate of CO2 into non-aqueous solvents containing the primary amine,
mono-ethanolamine (MEA) is recognised as a suitable method for measuring the effective
interfacial mass transfer area of separation column internals such as random and structured
packing. Currently, this method is used under conditions where the concentration of MEA in
the liquid film is unaffected by the reaction and the liquid phase reaction is, therefore, assumed
to obey pseudo first order kinetics with respect to CO2. Under pseudo first order conditions,
the effect of surface depletion and renewal rates are not accounted for. Previous research
indicated that the effective area available for mass transfer is also dependent upon the rate of
surface renewal achieved within the liquid film. In order to study the effect of surface depletion
and renewal rates on the effective area, a method utilising a fast reaction with appreciable
depletion of the liquid phase reagent is required.
The homogeneous liquid phase reaction kinetics of CO2 with MEA n-Propanol as alcoholic
solvent was investigated in this study. A novel, in-situ Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR)
method of analysis was developed to collect real time concentration data from reaction
initiation to equilibrium. The reaction was studied in a semi-batch reactor set-up at ambient
conditions (T = 25°C, 30°C and 35°C, P = 1 atm (abs)). The concentration ranges investigated
were [MEA]:[CO2] = 5:1 and 10:1. The concentration range investigated represents conditions
of significant MEA conversion. The reaction kinetic study confirmed the findings of previous research that the reaction of CO2
with MEA is best described by the zwitterion reactive intermediate reaction mechanism. Power
rate law and pseudo steady state hypothesis kinetic models (proposed in literature) were found
to be insufficient at describing the reaction kinetics accurately. Two fundamentally derived rate
expressions (based on the zwitterion reaction mechanism) provided a good quality model fit of
the experimental data for the conditions investigated. The rate constants of the full
fundamental model were independent of concentration and showed an Arrhenius temperature dependence. The shortened fundamental model rate constants showed a possible
concentration dependence, which raises doubt about its applicability.
The specific absorption rates (mol/m2.s) of CO2 into solutions of MEA/n-Propanol (0.2 M and
0.08 M, T = 25°C and 30°C, P = ±103 kPa) were investigated on a wetted wall experimental setup.
The experimental conditions were designed for a fast reaction in the liquid film to occur
with a degree of depletion of MEA in the liquid film. Both interfacial depletion and renewal of
MEA may be considered to occur. The gas phase resistance to mass transfer was determined to
be negligible. An increase in liquid turbulence caused an increase in the specific absorption rate
of CO2 which indicated that an increase in liquid turbulence causes an increase in effective mass
transfer area. Image analysis of the wetted wall gas-liquid interface confirmed the increase in
wave motion on the surface with an increase in liquid turbulence. The increase in wave motion
causes an increase in both interfacial and effective area.
A numerical solution strategy based on a concentration diffusion equation incorporating the
fundamentally derived rate expressions of this study is proposed for calculating the effective
area under conditions where surface depletion and renewal rates are significant. It is
recommended that the reaction kinetics of CO2 with MEA in solvents of varying liquid
properties is determined and the numerical technique proposed in this study used to calculate
effective area from absorption rates into these liquids. From the absorption data an effective
area correlation as a function of liquid properties may be derived in future. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die reaktiewe absorpsie van CO2 in nie-waterige oplossings van die primêre amien, monoetanolamien
(MEA) word erken as ‘n geskikte metode om die effektiewe massaoordragsarea
van gepakte skeidingskolomme te bepaal. Tans word die metode gebruik onder vinnige pseudo
eerste orde reaksietoestande met betrekking tot CO2. Die pseudo eersteorde aanname beteken
dat die konsentrasie van MEA in die vloeistoffilm onbeduidend beïnvloed word deur die reaksie
en effektief konstant bly. Onder pseudo eerste orde toestande word oppervlakverarming- en
oppervlakvernuwingseffekte nie in ag geneem nie, juis as gevolg van die konstante konsentrasie
van MEA in die vloeistoffilm. Daar is voorheen bevind dat oppervlakverarming en
oppervlakvernuwing ‘n beduidende invloed het op die beskikbare effektiewe
massaoordragsarea. Hierdie invloed kan slegs bestudeer word met ‘n vinnige reaksie in die
vloeistoffilm wat gepaard gaan met beduidende oppervlakverarming van die vloeistoffase
reagens. Die homogene vloeistoffase reaksiekinetika van CO2 met MEA in die alkohol oplosmiddel, n-
Propanol, is in hierdie studie ondersoek. ‘n Nuwe, in-situ Fourier Transform Infra-Rooi (FTIR)
metode van analiese is ontwikkel in hierdie ondersoek. Die reaksie is ondersoek in ‘n semienkelladings
reaktor met MEA wat gevoer is tot die reaktor om met die opgeloste CO2 te
reageer. Die FTIR metode meet spesiekonsentrasie as ‘n funksie van tyd sodat die
konsentrasieprofiele van CO2, MEA en een van die soutprodukte van die reaksie gebruik kan
word om verskillende reaksiesnelheidsvergelykings te modelleer. Die reaksie is ondersoek
onder matige toestande (T = 25°C, 30°C and 35°C, P = 1 atm (abs)). Die konsentrasiebereik van
die ondersoek was [MEA]:[CO2] = 5:1 en 10:1. Hierdie bereik is spesifiek gebruik sodat daar
beduidende omsetting van MEA kon plaasvind. Die reaksiekinetieka studie het, ter
ondersteuning van bestaande teorie, bevind dat die reaksie van CO2 met MEA in nie-waterige
oplosmiddels soos alkohole, beskyf word deur ‘n zwitterioon reaksiemeganisme. Die bestaande
reaksiesnelheids modelle (eksponensiële wet en pseudo gestadigde toestand hipotese) kon nie
die eksperimentele data met genoegsame akuraatheid beskryf nie. Twee nuwe reaksiesnelheidsvergelykings, afgelei vanaf eerste beginsels en gebaseer op die zwitterioon
meganisme, word voorgestel. Hierdie volle fundamentele model het goeie passings op die
eksperimentele data getoon oor die volledige temperatuur en konsentrasiebereik van hierdie
studie. Die reaksiekonstantes van die fundamentele model was onafhanklik van konsentrasie en
tipe oplosmiddel en het ‘n Arrhenius temperatuurafhanklikheid. Die verkorte fundamentele
model se reaksiekonstantes het ‘n moontlike konsentrasieafhanlikheid gewys. Dit plaas
onsekerheid op die fundamentele basis van hierdie model en kan dus slegs as ‘n eerste
benadering beskou word.
Die spesifieke absorpsietempos (mol/m2.s) van CO2 in MEA/n-Propanol oplossings (0.2 M en
0.08 M MEA, T = 25°C and 30°C, P = ±103 kPa) is ondersoek met ‘n benatte wand (‘wetted wall’)
eksperimentele opstelling. Die eksperimentele toestande is gekies sodat daar ‘n vinnige reaksie
in die vloeistoffilm plaasgevind het, met beide beduidende en nie-beduidende MEA omsetting.
Die doel met hierdie eksperimentele ontwerp was om die invloed van intervlakverarming en
intervlakvernuwing op die spesifieke absorpsietempo te ondersoek. Gas fase weerstand was
nie-beduidend onder die eksperimentele toestande nie. Beide intervlakverarming en
intervlakvernuwing gebeur gelyktydig en is waargeneem vanuit die eksperimentele data. ‘n
Beeldverwerkingstudie van die gas-vloeistof intervlak van die benatte wand het bevind dat daar
‘n toename in golfaksie op die vloeistof oppervlak is vir ‘n toename in vloeistof turbulensie.
Hierdie golfaksie dra by tot oppervlakvernuwing en ‘n toename in effektiewe
massaoordragsarea. ‘n Numeriese metode word voorgestel om die effektiewe area van beide die benatte wand en
gepakte kolomme te bepaal vanaf reaktiewe absorpsietempos. Die metode gebruik die
fundamentele reaksiesnelheidsvergelykings, bepaal in hierdie studie, in a konsentrasie
diffusievergelyking sodat oppervlakverarming en vernuwing in ag geneem kan word. Daar word
voorgestel dat die reaksiekinetika van CO2 met MEA in oplossings met verskillende fisiese
eienskappe (digtheid, oppervlakspanning en viskositeit) bepaal word sodat die numeriese
metode gebruik kan word om ‘n effektiewe area korrelasie as ‘n funksie van hierdie eienskappe
te bepaal.

New strategies for the rhodium-catalysed aqueous-biphasic hydroformylation of medium chain alkenesDesset, Simon L. January 2009 (has links)
Aqueous-biphasic organometallic catalysis is, as illustrated by the industrial hydroformylation of propene and butene, one of the most promising ways to overcome the intrinsic problem of catalyst separation in organometallic catalysis. However, for poorly water-soluble substrates, mass transfer limitations bring the reaction rate below any that could be economically viable, greatly limiting the scope of this elegant technology. We have studied three different strategies to overcome this limitation. We developed additives that speed up the reaction whilst retaining fast phase separation and good metal retention. Evidence suggests that those additives affect the reaction by forming emulsions with poor stability under the reaction conditions These emulsions increase the interfacial surface area but break after settling for a short time. We also developed ligands that allow the catalyst to be reversibly transported between an aqueous and an organic phase upon addition and removal of carbon dioxide. This allows the reaction to be carried out under homogeneous conditions, only limited by intrinsic kinetics, and the catalyst to be separated by aqueous extraction triggered by carbon dioxide. The catalyst can be returned to a fresh organic phase by flushing out the carbon dioxide. By applying this methodology for the hydroformylation of medium chain length alkenes, very high reaction rates were obtained and the catalyst could be recycle three times with excellent retention of activity and low metal leaching. This methodology could also be reversed with the reaction being carried out in an aqueous phase in the presence of carbon dioxide and extracting the catalyst into an organic solvent using nitrogen flushing. Finally, we briefly investigated the use of an oscillatory baffled reactor as a mean for mass transfer improvement for aqueous-biphasic hydroformylation. This new type reactor did not improve the performance of the system under the investigated conditions, but may require less energy input for equivalent agitation and mixing.

Experimental and kinetic modelling of multicomponent gas/liquid ozone reactions in aqueous phase : experimental investigation and Matlab modelling of the ozone mass transfer and multicomponent chemical reactions in a well agitated semi-batch gas/liquid reactorDerdar, Mawaheb M. Zarok January 2010 (has links)
Due to the ever increasing concerns about pollutants and contaminants found in water, new treatment technologies have been developed. Ozonation is one of such technologies. It has been widely applied in the treatment of pollutants in water and wastewater treatment processes. Ozone has many applications such as oxidation of organic components, mineral matter, inactivation of viruses, cysts, bacteria, removal of trace pollutants like pesticides and solvents, and removal of tastes and odours. Ozone is the strongest conventional oxidant that can result in complete mineralisation of the organic pollutants to carbon dioxide and water. Because ozone is unstable, it is generally produced onsite in gas mixtures and is immediately introduced to water using gas/liquid type reactors (e.g. bubble columns). The ozone reactions are hence of the type gas liquid reactions, which are complex to model since they involve both chemical reactions, which occur in the liquid phase, and mass transfer from the gas to the liquid phase. This study focuses on two aspects: mass transfer and chemical reactions in multicomponent systems. The mass transfer parameters were determined by experiments under different conditions and the chemical reactions were studied using single component and multicomponent systems. Two models obtained from the literature were adapted to the systems used in this study. Mass transfer parameters in the semi-batch reactor were determined using oxygen and ozone at different flow rates in the presence and absence of t-butanol. t-Butanol is used as a radical scavenger in ozonation studies and it has been found to affect the gas-liquid mass transfer rates. An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effects of t-butanol concentrations on the physical properties of aqueous solutions, including surface tension and viscosity. It was found that t-butanol reduced both properties by 4% for surface tension and by a surprising 30% for viscosity. These reductions in the solution physical properties were correlated to enhancement in the mass transfer coefficient, kL. The mass transfer coefficient increased by about 60% for oxygen and by almost 50% for ozone. The hydrodynamic behaviour of the system used in this work was characterised by a homogeneous bubbling regime. It was also found that the gas holdup was significantly enhanced by the addition of t-butanol. Moreover, the addition of t-butanol was found to significantly reduce the size of gas bubbles, leading to enhancement in the volumetric mass transfer coefficient, kLa. The multicomponent ozonation was studied with two systems, slow reactions when alcohols were used and fast reactions when endocrine disrupting compounds were used. ii These experiments were simulated by mathematical models. The alcohols were selected depending on their volatilization at different initial concentrations and different gas flow rates. The degradation of n-propanol as a single compound was studied at the lowest flow rate of 200 mL/min. It was found that the degradation of n-propanol reached almost 60% within 4 hours. The degradation of the mixture was enhanced with an increase in the number of components in the mixture. It was found that the degradation of the mixture as three compounds reached almost 80% within four hours while the mixture as two compounds reached almost 70%. The effect of pH was studied and it was found that an increase in pH showed slight increase in the reaction. Fast reactions were also investigated by reacting endocrine disrupting chemicals with ozone. The ozone reactions with the endocrine disrupters were studied at different gas flow rates, initial concentrations, ozone concentrations and pH. The degradation of 17β-estradiol (E2) as a single compound was the fastest, reaching about 90% removal in almost 5 minutes. However estrone (E1) degradation was the lowest reaching about 70% removal at the same time. The degradation of mixtures of the endocrine disruptors was found to proceed to lower percentages than individual components under the same conditions. During the multicomponent ozonation of the endocrine disruptors, it was found that 17β-estradiol (E2) converted to estrone (E1) at the beginning of the reaction. A MATLAB code was developed to predict the ozone water reactions for single component and multicomponent systems. Two models were used to simulate the experimental results for single component and multicomponent systems. In the case of single component system, good simulation of both reactions (slow and fast) by model 1 was obtained. However, model 2 gave good agreement with experimental results only in the case of fast reactions. In addition, model 1 was applied for multicomponent reactions (both cases of slow and fast reaction). In the multicomponent reactions by model 1, good agreement with the experimental results was also obtained for both cases of slow and fast reactions.

Modélisation dynamique des contacteurs membranaires pour l'extraction liquide-liquide : experimentation et simulation / Dynamic modelling of membrane contactors for liquid-liquid extraction : experimentation and simulationYounas, Mohammad 27 January 2011 (has links)
Cette étude porte sur la modélisation dynamique d'un pilote d'extraction liquide-liquide avec des contacteurs membranaires à fibres creuses. L'objectif de ce travail est donc le développement d'un outil de modélisation afin d'optimiser des contacteurs membranaires à fibres creuses pour l'extraction liquide-liquide dans deux applications différentes : l'extraction d'arômes et de cuivre des solutions aqueuses. Un modèle axial-radial et à fibre unique basé sur une analyse des résistances en série ont été décrits. Il a aussi été développé un modèle en régime transitoire capable de prédire la concentration en soluté dans les réservoirs d'alimentation en fonction du temps. Ces deux modèles ont été couplés afin de former un modèle dynamique intégré pour l'extraction liquide-liquide avec une unité membranaire. Une étude expérimentale a permis de déterminer le mécanisme d'extraction avec plusieurs systèmes et solvants et ainsi valider le modèle dynamique intégré. Le modèle a permis ensuite la détermination de l'influence de divers paramètres comme la configuration, la structure des membranes, l'hydrodynamique et les conditions de transport ou opératoires sur l'efficacité de la vitesse d'extraction. / The current study deals with the dynamic modelling of hollow fiber membrane contactor extraction plant. The objective of the study is to develop a simulation tool in order to optimize the membrane contactors for liquid-liquid extraction in two different applications: aroma and copper extraction from aqueous solutions. Axial-radial stage and single-fiber model of hollow fiber membrane contactor have been proposed based on resistance-in-series model. A separate dynamic model across reservoir has been developed based on macroscopic unsteady state mass transfer balance. Both models are, then, coupled to consolidate into an integrated dynamic model of the membrane-based solvent extraction plant. Experiments have been carried out to verify the reaction mechanism of various solvent extraction systems and to validate the integrated dynamic model. Model has been used to determine the influence of different module configurations, membrane structural para meters, hydrodynamic, transport and operating conditions upon the extraction efficiency and speed of extraction.
