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 )
