Solid Liquid Extraction (Packed Bed Type)

The Solid Liquid Extraction (Packed Bed Type) unit from Glass Agencies is a cutting-edge educational and research activity intended to reveal the leaching operations where the solute is dissolved from the solid matter through the solvent. The unit provides a very practical means of understanding the process which is one of the most important in the chemical and biochemical engineering fields showing learners the diffusion and the mass transfer between solid and liquid phases directly. The unit consists of a vertical column filled with an inert material which allows the solvent to flow uniformly through the solid bed thus resulting in efficient extraction. Thanks to the high-quality borosilicate glass along with the corrosion resistant materials used, the unit not only allows but also guarantees excellent visibility during the operation and at the same time ensures long-term stability under laboratory conditions. Flow meters, a feed tank, valves, and collection units are part of the set-up which helps to maintain accurate control and observation of the solvent flow and the extract concentration. It aids in examining different parameters like the solvent rate, particle size, and bed height, thus assisting the researcher to find out the influence of these factors on the extraction efficiency. The simple yet effective design of the unit allows the students to do repeatable experiments and to compare the theoretical predictions with the actual results. Each part is fabricated with precision which means there will be no difficulty in assembly and operation, thus assuring consistent results and requiring very little maintenance. The Solid Liquid Extraction (Packed Bed Type) unit is suitable for laboratory demonstrations, pilot studies, and academic research in chemical engineering and process technology. Glass Agencies, which has always been recognized for its precision in producing scientific instruments, makes sure that this unit is compatible with international quality standards and the performance of the laboratory.
