Mass transfer in stirred tank for phenolic extraction from coal tar

Coal production in Indonesia on 2014 reached 368.9 million tons. The used of coal utilization using pyrolysis process to produce coal tar is 15.8% by weight. Coal tar solution containing phenol as much as 8.06% (v / v) were extracted using a solvent of 80 % methanol. Time extraction is conducted for...

Description
Summary:Coal production in Indonesia on 2014 reached 368.9 million tons. The used of coal utilization using pyrolysis process to produce coal tar is 15.8% by weight. Coal tar solution containing phenol as much as 8.06% (v / v) were extracted using a solvent of 80 % methanol. Time extraction is conducted for 30 minutes by making every 5 minutes. Samples are then separated to form two layers so that become layer of extract and raffinate. Extract and raffinate layer was then tested by using UV - Vis sektrofotometer so that the data obtained experimental results.The reserach about phenomenon and models of mass transfering and taking the phenol compound from coal tir is less. The result shows, the highest extracted of concentration phenol in 40°C, tank diameter 9cm, stirrer diameter 3,5cm, stirring speed of 250rpm and at 20 minutes extraction time got 2,35% concentration of phenol. Thus, the increasing temperature and stirred velocity will increase phenol concentration. In other hand, decreasing tank diameter will increase phenol concentration.
