Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus for continuous treatment of two immiscible molten liquids having different densities. The apparatus comprises at least one open-ended helical reaction channel () arranged inside a substantially vertical housing (), means for the continuous supply of the liquid with the higher density to the upper open end of said at least one reaction channel () and means for continuous supply of the liquid with the lower density to the lower open end of said at least one helical reaction channel (), means for continuous removal of the liquid with the higher density at the lower open end of said helical reaction channel and means for removal of the liquid with the lower density from the upper open end of said helical reaction channel (). The invention further relates to a method for continuous treatment of two immiscible molten liquids having different densities using the apparatus of the present invention.
