What is Extraction Factor?

The Extraction Factor is the ratio of the slopes of operating line of extraction to the equilibrium line. The Extraction Factor calculation is based on the liquid and gas solute free inlet flow rates and the equilibrium line slope. The value of Extraction factor should be above one for separation.

What is Liquid-Liquid Extraction?

Liquid–liquid extraction (LLE), also known as solvent extraction, is a method to separate compounds or metal complexes, based on their relative solubilities in two different immiscible liquids, usually water (polar) and an organic solvent (non-polar). There is a net transfer of one or more species from one liquid into another liquid phase, generally from aqueous to organic. The transfer is driven by chemical potential, i.e. once the transfer is complete, the overall system of chemical components that make up the solutes and the solvents are in a more stable configuration (lower free energy). The solvent that is enriched in solute(s) is called extract. The feed solution that is depleted in solute(s) is called the raffinate.
