    Multiple Batch Extraction

    Uploaded by

    Tuba Ahmed
    The document discusses multiple batch extraction processes. It defines liquid-liquid extraction as a mass transfer operation used to separate components in a liquid solution by contacting it with an immiscible solvent. It describes how batch extraction works, including single and multiple stage batch extraction processes. The key aspects are that the aqueous feed is mixed with an organic solvent, the extract and raffinate phases are separated after equilibration, and multiple stage countercurrent extraction is most efficient for industrial scale metal extraction.

    Multiple Batch Extraction

    Prepared by: Tuba Ahmed


    Definition of Extraction

    •Liquid-Liquid extraction is a mass transfer


    operation in which a liquid solution (the feed) is
    contacted with an immiscible or nearly immiscible
    liquid (solvent) that exhibits selectivity towards one
    or more of the components in the liquid solution.
    Purpose of Extraction
    • To separate closed-boiling point mixture
    • Mixture that cannot withstand high temperature of
    distillation
    • Example:
    - recovery of penicillin from fermentation broth
    solvent: butyl acetate
    - recovery of acetic acid (b.p 1180c) from dilute
    aqueous (b.p 1000c) solutions
    solvent: ethyl-acetate
    Solvent Extraction

    Large volume of an
    aqueous solution containing solute

    Small volume of non-miscible organic solvent


    • The solute originally present in the aqueous
    phase gets distributed in both phases.
    • If solute has preferential solubility in the organic
    solvent, more solute would be present in the
    organic phase at equilibrium
    • The extraction is said to be more efficient
    • Extract – the layer of solvent + extracted solute
    • Raffinate – the layer from which solute has been
    removed
    • The distribution of solute between two phases is
    express quantitatively by distribution coefficient,
    KD.
    solute concentration in extract phase
    KD 
    solute concentration in raffinate phase

    • Higher value of KD indicates higher extraction


    efficiency.
    Operating Modes of Extraction

    • Batch or continuous extractions


    • Batch extraction – single stage or multiple stage
    • Continuous extraction – co-current or
    countercurrent extraction
    Batch Extraction

    • The aqueous feed is mixed with the organic solvent


    • After equilibration, the extract phase containing the
    desired solute is separated out for further
    processing.
    • A schematic representation of a single batch
    operation:

    Schematic representation of a two-stage batch extraction


    Multiple stage counter:
    • For extraction of metals on industrial scale, multi
    stage counter current solvent extraction process is
    followed.
    • The aqueous raffinate from one extraction unit is
    feed to the next unit as the aqueous feed , while the
    organic solvents flows in the opposite direction,
    thereby picking up more metal ions in successive
    contacts.
    • Dividing the organic phase into small parts and
    making multiple contacts is the most efficient way
    of extracting.
    Principles of Extraction

    • Extraction of dilute solutions


    • Extraction of concentrated solutions; phase
    equilibria
