THE literature on liquidliquid extraction deals mainly with phase relationships, stage calculations, and discussion of the mechanism of mass transfer between two liquid phases.The published information on commercial extraction equipment, particularly the types used and performance data, is rather limited.Hunter and Nash {24) have written several papers containing brief notes on extraction equipment. Two reviews by Waeser {45,46) written in Germany during the war have become available in this country. Green {19) in England reported on solvent extraction with special reference to fine chemical manufacture.However, the best discussions to date have been those of Elgin in Perry's Handbook {38) and his several annual reviews {10,11) published since that time.This paper is an attempt to summarize all of the information available to date on commercial extraction equipment. The sources have been the general literature, patent literature, and data from manufacturers and operators of extraction equipment. The review of the patent literature is presented because it is a tedious process for an individual engineer and not very informative unless the reviewer goes back to the original patents.
