Industrial Application of Solvent

Extraction Technique
Solvent Extraction in Precious Metal
Refineries
Precious metals are gradually used in
diversified industrial applications besides
traditional jewellery industry.
Metals like Au, Ag, Pt, Pd, Rh, Ir, Ru, Os. Can
be effectively extracted using chloride media.
Solvent Extraction of metal involves mainly
three mechanism : Ion-Pair Formation,
Solvation and Compound Formation


Solvent Extraction in Waste Water
treatments
Mainly involves two types of extraction techniques :
Solute-Solvent Separation: Reverse Osmosis system
is the best example of solute-solvent extraction for the
treatment of waste water in various industries.

Water Solvent Separation : Separation is based on
the density gradient technique, as the solvent forms a
separate layer above the water because of low
density.

Phenol removal, oily water treatment, desalination,
metal recovery can be take place by the method of
liquid ion exchange
Solvent Extraction in Nickel Industry
Solvent extraction is used as one of the highly
powerful tool in metal refining industries
It provide a cost effective solution for industries in
extracting metals like nickel, copper, uranium etc.
Highly efficient process introduced by the
innovative mind of scientist and researcher to
make the extraction process easier and feasible











Remediate soils
contaminated with hydrocarbons
The dissolved or suspended in a liquid
mixture and particle present in the soil can be
effectively removed using solvent extraction
technique
Solvent extraction provides a technically
feasible solution for the remediation of
polyaromatic, semi-volatile aromatic, and linear
hydrocarbons.
