General principle :
An extraction means is used to selectively extract one
or more compounds from an initial mixture, on the
basis of chemical or physical properties. The
extraction means should not be mescible with the
main components of the initial mixture, and the
compound to be extracted has more affinity with the
extraction medium than with the main components of the
initial mixture.
The extraction operation takes place in two parts:
a first part for transferring the compound to be
extracted between the initial mixture and the
extraction means.
Liquid–liquid extraction (LLE)

Solid-liquid extraction
