Axial backmixing is an important issue in extraction columns since it heavily affects the mass transfer performance. A miniaturized, stirred-pulsed column was investigated regarding its backmixing characteristics in the continuous phase, using the system water/n-butyl acetate. Residence time distributions were determined through pulse experiments with potassium chloride, which was detected via electrical conductivity. To perform the conductivity measurement without distortion of the two-phase flow, electrodes with an annular design that precisely line up with the inner column wall were manufactured. This design is a promising alternative for use in small-scale tubular devices where commercial electrodes do not fit and in applications where interference with the flow must be avoided.
