An investieation \vas made of the effects of plate spacing, hole diameter, percent free plate area, pulse amplitude, and pulse frequency on the extraction efficiency of a l-in. diameter pulse column. The hexone-acetic acid--,Jater system vias used. Two levels of each factor uere incorporated in an cxperinental desi2n based on statistical methods. 'The data ·vrere anR.lyzed by the analysis of variance technique. The diameter of the holes in the perforated plates of a pulse column produced the greatest effect on extraction efficiency of the factors studied. Percent free area procluced only a small effect lJhich was dependent on the degree of pulsation applied to the column. Extraction effj ciency varied inversely with pulse amplitude and pulse frequency. The recycle or back mixing, which exists in the pulse column was postulated to have a profound effect upon extraction efficiency. *This report is based on an I1:.s. thesis by 1956, to Iowa State College, Ames, Iowa. lJith the Atomic Energy Connnission.
