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.
How to Calculate Geometric Mean of Equilibrium Line Slope?
Geometric Mean of Equilibrium Line Slope calculator uses Mean Slope of Equilibrium Curve = sqrt(Feed Point Slope of Equilibrium Curve*Raffinate Point Slope of Equilibrium Curve) to calculate the Mean Slope of Equilibrium Curve, The Geometric Mean of Equilibrium Line Slope formula is defined as the mean value of the slope of equilibrium line, applicable for cases where equilibrium line is not straight. Mean Slope of Equilibrium Curve is denoted by m symbol.
How to calculate Geometric Mean of Equilibrium Line Slope using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Geometric Mean of Equilibrium Line Slope, enter Feed Point Slope of Equilibrium Curve (mF) & Raffinate Point Slope of Equilibrium Curve (mR) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Geometric Mean of Equilibrium Line Slope calculation can be explained with given input values -> 3.722 = sqrt(3.721*3.723).
