Dispersed phase hold-up has been measured in a 76.2 mm diameter pulsed packed column for four different liquid-liquid systems. The effects of pulsation intensity, phase ratio, and packing characteristic on the hold-up have been investigated under a variety of operating conditions. The dispersed phase axial hold-up shows a strong non-uniformity, depending on the operating conditions. The results indicated that the characteristic velocity approach is applicable to this type of extraction column for analysis of hold-up. An empirical correlation is derived for prediction of the hold-up in terms of operating variables, physical properties of the systems, and packing geometry. Good agreement between prediction and experiments was observed for all investigated operating conditions
