Anyone have any empirical distribution coefficient data for biodiesel contaminants in a bioD/water solvent extraction system?
I'm trying to set up a counter-current wash scheme in a contactor column and would like to know what flow rates will ensure complete washing.
Here's my guessing of some distribution coefficients into water:
MeoH (>99%)
Na+MeO- (~95%)?
monoglyceride (<10%)?
diglyceride (<5%)?
salts of carboxylic acids (>66%)?
glycerine (>90%)
Any ideas or theoretical estimates can help.
Thanks.
