Of the penicillin at a concentration of 0.065 kg/L, 98.5% is to be extracted from 3,000 L/h
Question:
Of the penicillin at a concentration of 0.065 kg/L, 98.5% is to be extracted from 3,000 L/h of a clarified and pH-adjusted broth with n-butyl acetate. The partition coefficient is 15. Optimal data from small-scale tests in a POD having a rotating cylinder of 20-cm diameter and 2.5-cm width, operating at 10,000 rpm, are a feed rate of 800 mL/minute and a solvent rate of 130 mL/minute. A commercial POD with a rotating cylinder of 91 cm diameter and 45-cm width, operating at a maximum rpm of 2,100, is available. Determine whether it can handle the required feed rate.
