In this investigation work, liquid-liquid extraction (L.L.E) through three distinctive frameworks have been examined for assurance of slip velocity (S.V), and characteristic velocity (C.V) in a non-center rotating column (N.C.R.C) with a wide extend of factors. Three double frameworks with distinctive interfacial tension comprising of toluene-water (high interfacial tension), n-butyl acetate–water (medium interfacial tension), and n-butanol–water (low interfacial tension) were investigated for tests. Two common relationships for the expectation of S.V and C.V, including phase stream rates, rotor speed, column geometry additionally physical properties, are displayed. The recommended relationships were compared with test information gotten from the writing and the display examination. Findings of this study, the present proposed correlations are more accurate than those previously reported.
