Simple liquid-liquid extraction

DESCRIPTION   Process of separation of the components of a liquid mixture based on differences in solubility of the components in a specific solvent. This unit permits the simulation of a liquid-liquid extraction, which is similar to a process used in industry. It also illustrates a way of determining the feasibility of such a process. A user manual is provided.
