Liquid
partially miscible is used to recover or extract Extraction
the solute from the carrier solvent
• The carrier solvent and the remaining solute
leaving the extractor is called “raffinate
phase”. Solvent
Feed Solute
• The solvent rich with solute leaving the (Carrier + Solute)
extractor is called “extract phase”.
