“…At present, the studies on chiral extraction mainly focus on an extraction equilibrium (Koska and Haynes, 2001;Schuur et al, 2008b;Steensma et al, 2006a, b;Viegas et al, 2007a, b;Pickering and Chaudhuri, 1997). Equilibrium modeling can be used not only for the design of theoretical separations (Steensma et al, 2007a), but also successfully for developing fractional extraction processes (Schuur et al, 2009(Schuur et al, , 2010. The studies on the kinetics of extraction of metal ion and achiral compounds have been reported (Wasewar et al, 2002;Nishiki et al, 1998;Kaczmarski et al, 2002), but little study has been carried out concerning the chiral extraction.…”
