Phase-separation cell 2: Liquid/liquid dispersion, reaction and separation processes in centrifugal field in one device as one closed batch process

The dispersion and reaction of two immiscible liquids with subsequently separation of the products according to the state of the art need several steps. The invention enables process intensification, the dispersion, reaction and separation of two immiscible liquids in one device in one batch process. The core of the invention is a rotatable reactor with an integrated centrifuge. Thus the invention enables equipment reduction of separate mixing and separation devices. Depending on how the motors run towards another, a mixing or a centrifugal effect is produced. Competitive Advantages:
•Compact and cost effective
•Mixing and Separation in one device
•Complete control on measurements parameters
•Variable energy input
•Quantitative results
•Short contact times also with coalescence inhibited substance Systems
•No back-mixing

Current Status: A patent application for this invention has been filed in Germany. On behalf of the RWTH University, PROvendis is seeking a partner for further development in view of licensing the Technology.
