Summary

The purpose of the experiment was to operate a Liquid – liquid extraction


experiment using a pulsed column liquid – liquid extraction unit, to determine the height
equivalent theoretical plates (HETP) for column by using equilateral triangular diagram and to
investigate the effect of the pulsation stroke on the HETP. Extraction is a unit process that is
used to isolate components from differences in physical properties based on their chemical
differences. When separating components of a liquid mixture by means of distillation is
unsuccessful or very difficult, and then Liquid Extraction is one of the key alternatives to
consider. Liquid-liquid extraction (or solvent) is a counter-current separation process for the
isolation of liquid-mixed constituents. Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) is an important method to
separate constituents (solutes) of homogeneous liquid solutions. The second liquid solvent is
introduced in this separation process which is immiscible or partly miscible with the feed, and
the solutes of the mixture are distributed between the two phases. The results obtained, the
highest acetone weight percent for raffinate (water rich phase) was 67.80% with the RI reading
was 1.3682 at min 5 and the lowest is at min 25 where acetone weight percent was 21.20% with
RI reading was 1.3449. While the highest acetone weight percent for extract (toluene rich phase)
was 76.24% with RI reading was 1.3687 at min 25 and the lowest is 13.53% with RI reading was
1.4753 at min 0. The longer the time, the lower the refractive index and increasing in acetone
weight percent of extract but decreasing in acetone weight percent of raffinate. Next, density
differential. A large or too low difference in density between raffinate and and extract phases
will result in separation problems permits lower capacity, and high capacities in equipment.
Excessive density estimation may make it difficult to obtain desired measurement for best
extraction. This is very important for extraction devices utilizing gravity for phase separation.
