Dispersed‐phase holdup and extraction efficiency were measured in a pilot‐plant scale rotating disc contactor (RDC) with perforated skirts (RDCS) with kerosene‐o‐cresol‐water system. The data for the RDCS were examined using the data in this work and the available correlations proposed for the plain RDC. A comparison between the data measured in the RDCS and those in the RDC indicated that the RDCS has rather better extraction efficiency compared with the RDC.
