Gi. Kuznetsov et al., INTENSIFICATION OF ANTIBIOTIC PRODUCTION USING CENTREX MULTISTEP CENTRIFUGAL EXTRACTORS, Russian journal of applied chemistry, 66(10), 1993, pp. 1721-1724
The construction and principles of operation of a centrifugal extracto
r were described. The operating characteristics of the centrifugal ext
ractors of the CENTREX type have been given as well as information abo
ut their use in antibiotic production (lincomycin, olivomycin, and car
minomycin). Mathematical description of the lincomycin extraction proc
ess has been given with regard to the flows varying along the steps of
the apparatus due to the mutual solubility of the liquids in contact.
