Abstract:
1. An apparatus for continuous treatment of two immiscible molten liquids having different densities comprising: a substantially vertical elongated housing; at least one open-ended helical reaction channel having an open core arranged inside the housing; a vertical tube centrally arranged inside the open core of the at least one helical reaction channel, the vertical tube extends from a distance below an upper end of the housing, but above the upper end of the at least one helical reaction channel, to a bottom end of the housing; means for continuous supply of a liquid having higher density of the two immiscible molten liquids to an upper open end of the at least one helical reaction channel; means for continuous supply of a liquid having lower density of the two immiscible molten liquids to a lower open end of the at least one helical reaction channel; means for continuous removal of the liquid having higher density at the lower open end of the at least one helical reaction channel; and means for continuous removal of the liquid having lower density from the upper open end of the at least one helical reaction channel.
