摘要
Based on the extraction equilibrium and mass balances in countercurrent extraction systems, a novel method was studied for dealing with the extraction equilibrium and the mass distribution in a multi-component(gamma-component) system. The relationships of mass distribution (x(i), y(i), i = 1, ..., lambda) between two phases were expressed by 2 lambda dimensional simultaneous equations. These simultaneous equations can be converted to a one-dimension nonlinear equation, then it was solved by Newton-Raphson algorithm within a few number of iteration. Compared with the regular calculation method for the 2 lambda dimensional simultaneous equations, Newton-Raphson algorithm can decrease the number of iteration, increase the convergence of the equations and accelerate the speed of simulation. It was verified in many multi-component systems with satisfactory results. As an example, a five-component system is demonstrated in this paper.
