Abstract

In the research referred in the present article, the author presents thestudy of a filter press type electrochemical reactor at pilot scale, whichanalyzed the Residence Times Distribution (RTD), which is fundamental inits hydrodynamic behavior; to do so a tracer injection at the reactor inletwas used, measuring the change in conductivity at both the entranceand exit. Then, by mathematical analysis, the type of dispersion, stagnantareas and the main variables that affect the working fluid was determined.Once it was achieved, a mathematical model for the design and operationof the reactor was used. Now it is ready to be used at industrial levels, inevery aspect related to metal recovery and recycling, proposing a solutionfor all those environmental problems that people face nowadays.
