THE TENOVA PULSED COLUMN
The Tenova Pulsed Column is a high efficiency cost-effective contactor which enhances mass transfer during extraction, stripping and scrubbing or washing processes. TPC main advantages are the extraction multistage continuous process in a single vessel, handles liquids with suspended solids or which form a third phase, no internal moving parts, fully automated system, low maintenance and operating costs.
Moreover, it is a safe and environmentally friendly process. TPC can be applied in the minerals processing (uranium, nickel, cobalt, zinc, titanium, lithium, zirconium, in the chemical industry nitric, phosphoric and hydrochloric acid), for environmental protection (recovery of nitrates, sulfuric acid, cyanides, and halides) and others (pharmaceutical, food and petroleum industries).
