Liquid-liquid extraction

Liquid-liquid extraction is a work-up procedure used to recover products from reactions. The separation process takes advantage of the relative solubilities of solutes in immiscible solvents. Liquid-liquid extraction is very common where separations involve multiple components or where separation by distillation is ineffective or not practical. In adopting the liquid interface sensor approach a Lara™ liquid-liquid extraction module is planned for the future.

Where appropriate, the functionality of the Lara modules can also be achieved using third party equipment. Please contact our technical support team for assistance.
