ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for effecting a coalescence in enriched aqueous solutions which contain germanium and/or arsenic is disclosed, said apparatus comprising an emulsion-breaking unit consisting of a breaking cell providing with two electrodes, which are disposed on opposite sides outside cell walls adjacent thereto, and terminals for electric power, the electrodes and the breaking cell being contained in a container which is filled with an insulating medium and surrounded by a Faraday cage, a line for supplying emulsion to the breaking cell, a settling tank, a line for withdrawing the coalesced liquid and for transferring it to the settling tank, a line for withdrawing the membrane-forming organic phase from the settling tank, and means for recycling noncoalesced emulsion from the settling tank to the breaking cell.
