Description
Liquid-liquid extraction is a method of separating the components of a liquid mixture by contacting it with a second, immiscible liquid in which one or more of the constituents are preferentially soluble. The technique has found application in such diverse fields as the nuclear fuel processing and pharmaceutical industries. This two-volume work discusses theoretical aspects of the subject as well as typical applications in the hydrometallurgical, nuclear, pharmaceutical and food industries.
