Abstract:
A liquid-liquid contact device includes: an internal casing surrounding an inner chamber for providing countercurrent contact between a light liquid and a heavy liquid; an external casing surrounding the internal casing so as to form an outer chamber around the internal casing; a light liquid introduction tube guiding the light liquid to the inner chamber; and a heavy liquid introduction tube guiding the heavy liquid to the inner chamber. The internal casing has an upper opening and a lower opening which opens at a location below the upper opening. The external casing has a heavy liquid discharge outlet through which the heavy liquid is allowed to be discharged from the outer chamber, and a light liquid discharge outlet which is disposed above the heavy liquid discharge outlet and through which the light liquid is allowed to be discharged from the outer chamber.

Claim (Index 6):
The liquid-liquid contact device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a discharge flow rate controlling device which controls at least one of a discharge flow rate of the light liquid discharged from the outer chamber through the light liquid discharge outlet and a discharge flow rate of the heavy liquid discharged from the outer chamber through the heavy liquid discharge outlet so as to maintain a height position of a contact interface between the light liquid and the heavy liquid within a range of between the light liquid discharge outlet and the heavy liquid discharge outlet, the contact interface being formed in the outer chamber.
