Liquid-Liquid Extraction Techniques

This document provides an overview of liquid-liquid extraction techniques. It discusses how extraction separates components of a liquid solution by contacting it with an insoluble solvent. The solution is called the feed and the solvent is used to separate components based on their solubility. The extract is the solvent-rich product after separation, while the raffinate is the residual liquid with components removed. Extraction is widely used in petroleum refining, pharmaceuticals, and inorganic chemicals. Common examples provided are extracting methyl acrylate and benzyl alcohol using solvents like perchlor ethylene and toluene. Equipment used includes single stage and multi stage options like mixer settlers, centrifugal extractors, and pulse columns.

Introduction to Extraction
Liquid-liquid extraction (also known as solvent
extraction) involves the separation of the
constituents (solutes) of a liquid solution by
contact with another insoluble liquid.

Solutes are separated based on their different


solubility in different liquids.
The simplest liquid-liquid extraction involves only a
3 components system.

The solution which is to be extracted is called the


feed, and the liquid with which the feed is contacted
is the solvent.

The solvent-rich product of the operation is called the


extract, and the residual liquid from which solutes
has been removed is the raffinate.
Applications of Extraction
Extraction processes are well suited to the petroleum
industry because of the need to separate heat-sensitive
liquid feeds.

Biochemical or pharmaceutical industry, where emphasis


is on the separation of antibiotics and protein recovery.

In the inorganic chemical industry, they are used to


recover high-boiling components such as phosphoric
acid, boric acid, and sodium hydroxide from aqueous
solutions.
Examples of Extraction
Extraction of methyl acrylate from organic solution with
perchlor ethylene.

Extraction of benzyl alcohol from a salt solution with


toluene.

Removing of H2S from LPG with MDEA.

Extraction of methanol from LPG with water.

Raffinate(R)
Extraction is the process by which a solute is
transferred from one phase to a new phase.

Liquid-liquid extraction, also known as solvent


extraction and partitioning, is a method to separate
compounds based on their relative solubility's in two
different immiscible liquids, usually water and an
organic solvent.
