This Small Business Innovation and Research (SBIR) Phase I project will demonstrate the feasibility of using an agitation device based on a resonating elastic member for dispersing and coalescing immiscible liquids. This will have a significant impact in the liquid processing for solvent extraction of metals. The proposed technology offers a mixing regime that promotes high mass transfer, yet easy disengagement between immiscible liquids by forming uniform droplet dispersions and creating interfacial activity that increases mass transport. The post-contact phase disengagement can be further enhanced by applying higher frequency energy.The near term commercial application would be presented by the changing technological landscape of the international mining and metals industries. The shift to leaching technology has created a need for advanced solvent extraction equipment. Applications also exist in the pharmaceutical industry, where solvent extraction is an entrenched and accepted approach to recovering products from microbial fermentation broths.

这个小型企业创新和研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目将证明使用基于共振弹性构件的搅拌装置分散和聚结不混溶液体的可行性。这将对金属溶剂萃取的液体处理产生重大影响。所提出的技术提供了一种混合方案，该混合方案通过形成均匀的液滴分散体并产生增加质量传递的界面活性来促进高质量传递，但不混溶液体之间容易分离。 通过施加更高的频率能量，可以进一步增强接触后的相位分离。近期的商业应用将随着国际采矿和金属工业技术格局的变化而呈现。 向浸提技术的转变产生了对先进溶剂萃取设备的需求。在制药工业中也存在应用，其中溶剂萃取是从微生物发酵液中回收产物的一种根深蒂固且被接受的方法。
