The mass transfer of caprylic acid between water and oil was studied at a top and bottom blown converter model. A model law was deduced from the experiments. It was observed that the oil phase presents itself nearly completely in droplet form at higher blowing rates. This observation allowed the determination of the mass transfer coefficient at 2.26 · 10 −4 [ms −1 ]. A value of equal magnitude can be calculated of spheres being flown around. The rotational speed of the bath corresponds to earlier measurements.
