solvent extraction also known as liquid liquid extraction is a method for the seperation of components of a liquid mixture by contacting with an immiscible or partially miscible solvent. The cause of the separation is the differential distribution of components between two insoluble phases. Suppose, a binary mixture consisting of solute C and carrier liquid A is extracted using a solvent B. The products that are seperated are the solvent rich phase called extract and the carrier rich phase called the raffinate.
the choice of solvent is made on the desirable charecteristics that are listed below:
where =weght fraction of C in extract
=weght fraction of A in extract
=weght fraction of C in raffinate
=weght fraction of A in raffinate

how to do this problem An Extraction-Distillation Process A mixture containing 50,0 wt% acetone (A) and 50.0 wt% water (W) is to be separated into two streams-one rich in acetone and the other in water. The separation process consists of extraction of the acetone from the water into methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK or M), which has a much higher affinity for acetone than it does for water. The process is shown schematically below. M (solvent) M (solvent) Feed Raffinate 1...

In a two-stage process, acid is extracted from water into hexanol in a liquid-liquid extraction unit (i.e. extractor) and the extract is sent to a distillation column. Assume that water is completely insoluble in hexanol (think about what this means- hint: what goes into the distillation column and what does not?). A mixture of18 wt% acid and the balance water is fed to the extractor. Pure hexanol is fed to the extractor to extract the acid. The water-rich stream leaving...
Introduction: Pre-lab Questions Turn in typed responses in the beginning of lab. Answer in complete sentences. Show your work in pen where applicable. 1. What other compounds are extracted along with caffeine into the tea? Use what you know about the relative polarity of the functional groups within these compounds to determine the final destination of the following compounds: cellulose, tannins, chlorophylls, sodium carbonate. Do the majority of these compounds end up in the tea bag, filtered solid, aqueous layer,...

You will apply what you have learned earlier in the semester when performing the Acid-Base Extraction experiment to perform a different separation: that of an organic neutral compound and organic base. You will also need to purify and characterize these compounds. You will have one lab period to execute your plan for separating the assigned mixture given below. There will be a 1:1 (by mass) mixture placed in the lab: 1,4-dichlorobenzene/ethyl 4-aminobenzoate. You will take approximately 1 g of your...
