Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improvements in centrifugal countercurrent exchange devices, for example, of ,the general character described in the prior patents and pending applications of one of us (Walter J. Podbielniak), such as Patent No. 2,286,157, granted'June 2, 1942 and applications Serial Nos. 111,218 and 230,313, filed respectively August 19, 1949 and June 7, 195 1.
  • the former application has since matured into Patent No. 2,670,132 granted February 23, 1954.
  • liquids which are immiscible or partly immiscible and of different densities are caused to travel in concurrent with respect to each other while passing through a rotor, revolving at a high rate of speed,

  • the numeral 10 indicates a supporting framework upon which are mounted suitable journal bearings 1,1, in which are rotatably carried theshaft 12 upon which is mounted the rotor 15.
  • a stationary casing Surrounding the rotor is a stationary casing likewise carried by the supporting frame 10 and consisting of a lower fixed portion 16 and an upper portion 17, pivoted as at 18 to permit of its being raised for access to the rotor.
  • the countercurrent or solvent exchange takes place within the rotor 15, which is rotated at a high rate of speed, for example from 2,000 to 5,000 R. P. M. or even higher, thus developing substantial centrifugal forces within the rotor.
  • the heavier liquid is introduced at an inner .point in the rotor and travels outwardly under the action of the centrifugal force, leaving at or near the outermost portion of the interior of the rotor.
  • the lighter liquid is introduced at an outer point in the rotor, and is forced inwardly through the rotor against the outwardly traveling heavier liquid to eifect the desired countercurrerit or solvent action.
  • the light liquid after this process has been conducted, is withdrawn'from" an inner point within the rotor.
  • the heavier liquid is the liquid initially containing the valuable material to be extracted, and also carrying accompanying solids, for example, the mycelia of a penicillin broth; and it will be assumed that the lighter liquid is the solvent which is being employed to extract the valuable material from the heavier liquid.
  • the annular conduit 20, which surrounds the conduit 19, likewise extends through the shaft and communicates with the pipe 22, by which the light liquid is removed from the apparatus after the operation within the rotor has been completed.
  • Similar conduits are provided in the opposite portion of the shaft for supply of the light liquid to the rotor and removal of the heavy liquid with suspended solids.
  • the shaft 12 is provided with an internal conduit surrounded by an annular conduit 26.
  • the internal conduit 25 extends through the shaft and communicates with the pipe or conduit 27, as shown at the right in Fig. 2, and through this pipe 27, the light liquid is forced into the rotor.
  • the inner conduit 25 and the pipe 27 communicate through a chamber 28 formed in the stationary cap 29, in which the end of the shaft 12 rotates.
  • the annular conduit or passageway 26 communicates with the pipe 30 by which the heavy liquid (and suspended solids) are withdrawn from the system after the countercurrent exchange operation has been carried out.
  • the annular conduit 26 communicates with the pipe 30 through a chamber 31, likewise formed in the stationary cap 29, suitable sealing means 32 being provided to prevent intermixture of the liquids. It will be understood that similar arrangements are provided at the opposite end of the shaft for communication between the conduits 19 v and 20 and the pipes 21 and 22, respectively.
  • the rotor as shown more particularly in Fig. 3, is formed as a cylindrical casing made up of two side members or disks 35 and 36 and a peripheral cylindrical member 37, rigidly secured to each other and to the shaft to form a closed chamber.
  • the inner disks 38 and 39 are within the side members or disks 35 and 36 of the rotor and spaced therefrom to provide a small clearance of say to 43 inch.
  • Annular passageways of progressively increasing radius are formed in the rotor, suitably by a spiral band, as shown in Patent 2,286,157, hereinbefore referred to, or preferably by cylindrical rings.
  • the inner surfaces of the inter-disks 38 and 39 are provided with circular grooves 42, within which are firmly held the edges of the concentric perforated rings or partition Walls 43.
  • the spacings between the concentric perforated rings 43 are equal although, if desired, these spacings may either increase or decrease with increasing radius.
  • the grooves may be formed as spirals, and a continuous spiral band employed instead of concentric rings, in which case the turns of the spiral for the partition walls may be regarded, in effect, as if they were rings in the structure as hereinafter described.
  • the concentric rings 43 are perforated, as more fully hereinafter described, so as to secure the desired flow of the liquids in the rotor with the required countercurrent exchange or solvent action and with proper handling of the solids contained in the liquids.
  • the perforations in the concentric rings 43 should be from 0.15 to 0.3 inch in diameter and preferably approximately 0.250 inch in diameter.
  • the perforations should be spaced apart from /2 inch to 1% inch, and preferably from /2 inch to 1 inch, between centers, and the perforations in each ring should be staggered with reference to those on opposite sides of it, so that every perforation in each ring will be directly opposite solid unbroken portions of the rings on both sides.
  • This is illustrated by the arrangement of the perforations 44 in rings 43, as shown in Fig. 3. In this way, the jet action of the liquids passing through the perforations 44 is directed against an imperforate portion of the next ring 43 and tends to wash solids away from such irnperforate portion, if any have accumulated thereon. Adequate intermixing takes place in the passage of liquids through the perforations and separation takes place in the spaces between rings or turns.
  • the spacing between the concentric rings 43, when the latter are equidistant from each other, may vary, for example, from A; inch to /2 inch, although a clearance in the general order of about inch has been found most satisfactory.
  • the clearance between rings is variable, for example, as disclosed in the prior application of Walter J. Podbielniak, Serial No. 111,218, filed August 19, 1949, now Patent No. 2,670,132 granted February 23, 1954, it may vary from approximately A2 inch to approximately 12 inch or even more in the same rotor.
  • the perforations in each ring or turn are substantial 1y uniform in size, to prevent lack of uniformity in distribution of the light and heavy liquids and to secure substantially uniform mixing and interchange between the liquids.
  • Preferably the perforations are throughout of substantially uniform size, although somewhat larger perforations may be used in the outer turns or rings, if desired.
  • the conduit 19 by which the heavy liquid carrying solids and the valuable material is supplied to the rotor communicates through the opening 45 drilled from the axis of the shaft to the interior opening 46 in a plug 47 which extends radially into the rotor a sufficient distance to provide an adequate clarifying area for the light liquid being removed.
  • the plug 47 may pass through openings suitably provided for the purpose in several of the inner rings 43, for example, 3.
  • the heavy liquid is thereby discharged at this point into the clearance space between two of the rings 43.
  • the area within the rotor between the point at which the heavy liquid is supplied within the rotor and the outer surface of the shaft 12 is thus provided for adequate clarification of the light liquid before it leaves through the opening 48 in the shaft to enter the annular conduit 20.
  • the light liquid thus removed passes out through the conduit 20 and is withdrawn through the external pipe 21, previously referred to.
  • the light liquid which is introduced into the apparatus is supplied, under sufficient pressure to force it through the rotor, at a point near the outer circumference of the rotor chamber.
  • a space is provided within the chamber beyond the point of introduction of the light liquid to permit adequate separation of light liquid from the swea e l heavy liquid being discharged from the apparatus and to provide suitable means to secure the effective discharge vof solids in suspension in the heavy liquid.
  • light liquid entering through the conduit 25 passes through an opening 50 drilled radially through the shaft and communicating with the conduit 51 drilled radially through the inner disk 38.
  • the conduit 51 is closed at its outer end by a screw plug 52.
  • a perforated distributing pipe 53 extending transversely between the inner disks 38 and 39, communicates through a drilled opening 54 with the conduit 50.
  • the perforations in the conduit or pipe 53 are directed inwardly.
  • transverse perforated pipes or conduits 53 may be provided at angular intervals around the interior of the rotor, each communicating with the conduit 25 in the shaft 12 in the same manner as already described in connection with the pipe 53.
  • the conduits for the supply of light liquid being spaced internally from the outer walls of the rotor chamber, a space is provided thereby for the effective separation of light liquid which may be carried by the heavy liquid in dispersion or in emulsified form.
  • Means are provided within this space beyond the light liquid distributing pipes 53 to avoid accumulation and secure removal of solids. For example, a slope or angle is given to the effective internal surface of the rotor toward the outermost point within the rotor at which the discharge of heavy liquid and suspended solids is effected.
  • the meeting frustroconical baflles 56 and 57 are provided.
  • lFrustroconical baffles 56 and '57 thus provide angular or sloping surfaces leading to the passageways '60 and 61, respectively, between the outer edges of the inner disks 38 and 39 and the outer wall of the rotor.
  • the outer edges of the inner disk-s 38 and 39, respectively, are rounded and any angles within the rotor forming parts of this passageway are built up to rounded form, for example, with weld metal as illustrated at 62, so that no pockets or enlargements are present for the lodging or accumulation of solids.
  • a smooth, gradually narrowing passageway for the heavy liquids and suspended solids is thus provided, leading into the interdisk spaces 40 and 41.
  • This passageway is dimensioned so that, with the normal rate of flow of heavy liquid, its velocity will be such as to carry solids with it; for example, to 50 feet per second.
  • inter-disk space as hereinafter described for the inward flow of the heavy liquid carrying suspended solids, we are able to maintain the solids in suspension and prevent their settling out during their passage from the system. It has been found that the centrifugal force in the rotation of the rotor in its operation tends to produce a swirl or agitation in the liquid passing through this inter-disk space. In order to prevent this agitation becoming excessive (and in some cases it has been found to build up in an uninterrupted interdisk space to such an extent as to cause frictional pressure drops in the order of 100 pounds per square inch), interrupted or staggered vanes 65 are provided between the walls of the two inter-disk spaces, generally being secured to the inner disk, as illustrated in Fig. 4.
  • these vanes be radial or ap-, proximately radial and that they be broken or staggered so that no continuous lateral or circumferential passageway for liquid is provided. Precise positioning of these 6 vanes is not required; it is only necessary that they be present in such positions as to break up the circumferential swirl of liquid set'up'by the rotation of the rotor and thereby to prevent the building up of the excessive pressure drops which are secured when no vanes are present.
  • a further advantage resulting from the use of short staggered vanes is that no complete barriers against circumferential movement of the heavy liquid carrying suspended solids is presented. In a satisfactory arrangement, it has been found that the pressure drop may be in the order of 25 to 30 pounds per square'inch.
  • the heavy liquid travels inwardly through the inter-disk spaces.
  • the inter-disk space 40 communicates through opening 66 drilled in the shaft 12 with the annular conduit 26, through which the heavy liquid is discharged from the system as hereinbefore described.
  • the inter-disk space 41 on the opposite side communicates with a longitudinal passageway 67 milled in the shaft and this in turn also communicates through the opening 68 drilled through the shaft with the annular conduit 26.
  • spacing studs 70 are screwed into the outer walls of the inner disks 323 and 39 at suitable angular intervals.
  • Suitable means are provided for driving the rotor at a suitable speed, say 2,000 to 5,000 R. P. M., such as the sheave 72, driven through belt 73 from an electric motor or other suitable power source, not shown.
  • Fig. 5 a modified form of rotor is shown. In this form of construction, additional provision is made for the clarification of the light liquid removed from the system.
  • the drive shaft carrying the rotor is represented by the numeral 75.
  • the rotor 76 suitably formed as a disk 77 with a cylindrical flange 78, forming a cup-like chamber or cylindrical space which is closed by a disk 79, suitably held in position by a ring nut 80.
  • the inner disk 81 is provided within the rotor, and spaced from the disk 77.
  • a disk 82 is held in position by the disk 79.
  • the opposite faces of the disks 81 and 82 are provided with matching grooves 83 and 84, respectively, into which are forced the perforated cylindrical rings 85.
  • These cylindrical rings are perforated as are the rings 43 in the construction shown in Fig.
  • the pen forations being of similar size and being staggered similarly, to those as described in connection with the cylindrical rings 43.
  • the spacings between the respective concentric rings decrease as the radius increases, suitably as an inverse function of the radius.
  • the spacings between these rings may be varied, for example, as described in the prior application of one of us, Serial No. 111,218, previously referred to.
  • the concentric rings, as hereinbefore described in connection with the form of construction shown in Fig. 5, occupy only a part of the space between the disks 81 and 82.
  • the opposing inner walls of the disks 81 and 82 are recessed as at 87, and in this recessed portion a spiral perforated band 8% is wound.
  • the metal is not completely removed, but is turned downwardly and forms spacing lugs or ears 90.
  • the heavy liquid entering the rotor comes in through the conduit 92 formed in the shaft 75, passes through the opening 93 drilled approximately radially through the shaft and into the plug or nozzle 94 which extends radially to the space between the outer turn of the spiral band 89 and the innermost of the concentric rings 85.
  • a frustroconical baffle or guide 105 is secured within the rotor beyond the perforated conduit 103, this frustroconical guide forming a sloping or angular outer wall for the working chamber of the rotor. It is held in position by suitable shoulders 106 and 107 formed on the inner walls of the rotor. Any solids present are thereby guided in the direction of the discharge opening for the heavy liquids.
  • the inner wall of the rotor and the corresponding or opposing surface of the inner disk 31 are shaped to provide a smooth continuous discharge passageway without enlargement or cavities for the lodging and deposition of solid material.
  • an inter-disk space 107a is provided for the discharge of the heavy liquid, the swirl within this space and the deposition of solids being prevented or controlled by the staggered vanes 108, placed as described in connection with the rotor shown in Fig. 3.
  • the inter-disk space communicates through the axial opening 110 drilled in shaft 75 with the annular conduit 111, by which the heavy liquid and suspended solids are discharged from the system.
  • a plurality of such openings may be provided at angular intervals around the shaft.
  • the apparatus of the present invention has been successfully used in many different applications for the extraction of active principals.
