 INTRODUCTION

EXTRACTION :-
• Extraction is a separation process consisting in the separation of substance from a solid or liquid
mixture
• The efficiency of a liquid-liquid extraction can be enhanced by adding one or more extractants to the
solvent phase
• The extractant interacts with component increasing the capacity of the solvent for
• To recover the solute from the extract phase the extractant-solute complex has to be degraded
 LIQUID-LIQUID EXTRACTION :-

• It is a method to separate compound based on their relative solubilities in two different immiscible liquid.

• In liquid liquid extraction the extraction take place from one liquid medium to another.

• Feed contain the desired solute.

• It is come in contact with the solvent.

• Mass transfer takes place .

• The extract is the solvent rich solution content the extracted solute.

• The raffinate is the residual feed solution, may contain little solute.
 PRINCIPLE :-

• It is a mass transfer and thermodynamic process and it works based on the partition or
distribution coefficient.
• Feed phase contains a component, which is to be removed
• Addition of a second phase (solvent phase) which is immiscible with feed phase but
component is soluble in both phases.
• After extraction the feed and solvent phases are called the raffinate (R) and extract (E) phases
 PARAMETER OF LLE :-

• Solvent selection
• Operating conditions
• Mode of operation
• Extractor type
• Design criteria
 APPLICATIONS:-

In Food Industry:-
1. Extraction of essential oil ,flavourings, ect.
2. Caffeine extraction from tea and coffee
Other Application:-
1. Removal of phenol from waste water .
2. Recovery and purification of acetic acid from aqueous streams.
3. Recovery of rate earth elements.
ADVANTAGES:-

• Heat sensitive products are processed at ambient or moderate temperatures.

• Suitable at wide range of temperature.
• Very large capacities are possible with a minimum of energy consumption.
• Recovery of solvent is possible.

LIMITATIONS:-
• Time consuming
• Required skilled labor
 C0NCLUSION:-

• LLE is used when separation not possible by distillation.

• It is mass transfer and thermodynamic process.
• Selection solvent is very important parameter for LLE.
• This method is widely use in various industries.
• Though it is widely used , it has some limitation.
