How to increase efficiency /improvement in liquid-

liquid extraction method:

 Better solvent can be used which is more soluble


and use in less amount.
 In our lab magnetic stirrer is not working
properly .So we need a better stirrer give better
mixing in time.
 In this process loss of solvent occur in huge
amount
Disadvantages lie with possible loss of sample
by adsorption onto the glassware. The process
also needs cleanup steps and requires time

  The efficiency of a liquid-liquid extraction


process can be strongly improved by modifying
the distribution coefficient. Thus, an organic
acid would prefer the non polar solvent when not
dissociated (i.e., at low pH) and the aqueous
solvent when dissociated (i.e., at high pH )
