Then extraction technology is based on the

separation of the solvents depending upon its


varying solubility.
The media can be immiscible liquid or partially
miscible liquid solution
To extract the pure form of the solvent, it is
necessary to follow multiple stages of extraction
and liquid countercurrent flow
Liquid Liquid Extraction is usually employed in
separation of components when either the
distillation process is uneconomical or inefficient to
extract the pure of the components
Separation of components widely varying in their boiling
points

Extraction of high b.p components or pollutants in the
solvent mixture which are present in low concentration

Liquid Liquid extraction system is extremely helpful in
separation azeotropic mixtures

Extraction of thermally sensitive components
Separation of single components from the multi-
component mixture

Extraction of components present in the
electrolytic solutions

Common industrial application of Liquid Liquid
Extraction include in areas like Bulk chemical
industry, Petroleum industry, Fine chemical
industry, Pharmaceutical industry, Biotech industry,
Food industry, Hydrometallurgy

Universal application in extraction of solvent
component mixtures

Flexibility with physical properties and various
parameters

Columnar design enhance the efficiency of the
extraction system

Facilitate stage wise phase contact
