How does a turntable tower work?

When using a rotary tower for two-phase extraction, what is the principle of operation of this rotary tower?
A commonly used liquid-liquid extraction device. The tower is equipped with multiple layers of fixed annular plates, a mixing shaft in the middle, and multiple disks mounted on this shaft; each disk is located between two adjacent fixed annular plates. The function of the turntable promotes the dispersion of droplets, which helps to improve mass transfer efficiency. It is an extraction tower that is widely used in industry today (especially in the petroleum refining industry) (see stirred-tank extraction tower).
