What is Liquid-Liquid Solvent Extraction Explained about?
Liquid-liquid extraction uses two immiscible solvents to separate compounds in a mixture based on how soluble they are in each solvent. The distribution coefficient K quantifies how a compound partitions between the solvents at equilibrium. Through successive extractions with fresh organic solvent, the compound can be extracted from the aqueous phase with high efficiency. The pH and formation of ionic or complex species affects which chemical forms are extracted.
