Abstract
Extraction of acetic acid from isobutanol into aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide in the system with flat interface was studied. The effect of interfacial turbulence, induced by chemical reaction on the mass transfer rate of reacting components across the interface was determined independently from measurements of mass transfer rate of non-reacting solvents. The concept of enhancement factor was used for description of the phenomenon. The effect of interfacial turbulence on mass transfer rate was expressed by the additive term to the rate of energy dissipation on the interface.
