Abstract:Liquid/liquid extraction (LLE) is one of the most industrially relevant separations methods, successfully leveraging the variable solubility of solutes (or their complexes) between two immiscible solvents. Independently from the relative solubilities of those solutes and complexes which determine their distribution between phases, the kinetics of phase transfer is impacted by the molecular interactions and structure of those species at the interface. A simple example includes the formation and extraction of wa… Show more
