Notes:
Packed columns are being considered for contacting liquid metals with molten salts to extract fission products from spent nuclear fuel. Extraction rates between a liquid cadmium alloy and a liquid chloride salt were measured at 530°C. in a prototype column. With a system of water and a low melting metal alloy, measurements of the pressure drop, limiting flow rates, and hold-up were made and compared with the predictions of existing correlations. These data indicate that packed columns might be effective contacting devices for pyrochemical processes.
