THE MASS TRANSFER DURING THE DISSOLUTION OF BORIC ACID IN WATER INTENSIFIED BY MECHANICAL STIRRING

The kinetics granules of boric acid (GBA) dissolution were investigated based on the solution temperature and stirring frequency. Experimental mass transfer coefficients were determined and compared with theoretical values. The results indicate that increasing the stirring frequency and the solvent temperature increases the mass transfer coefficient. A computational relationship was derived, enabling the prediction of GBA dissolution based on solution temperature and stirring frequency.

Mass Transfer in the Solid-Liquid System: Mechanism and Kinetics of the Extraction Process

The mechanism and kinetics of the target components extraction from mineral raw materials (sulfur from sulfur ore by tetrachlorethylene, Al2O3 from bauxite specs by NaOH, copper from ore and malachite by hydrochloric acid), as well as vegetable oils (from amaranth, amaranth hybrid and сamelina by organic solvents) have been studied. Experimental studies to confirm the diffusive nature of the target components extraction from mineral sources have been conducted. Diffusion coefficients for mineral samples have been obtained.
