- Addition of nanoparticles has a strong influence on breakage and coalescence of drops and consequently their size distribution in pulsed extraction column. Adding nanoparticles reduces the interfacial tension due to internal turbulence caused by nanoparticles. This work led to a new correlation to predict mean drop size in terms of operating parameters, physical properties and nanoparticle concentration. This work was taken up by, and directly underpinned 3 papers published by other groups working in the field (https://doi.org/10.1007/s40090-018-0167-y, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cherd.2018.09.014, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seppur.2017.12.035).
