I'm giving the following unsigned comment it's own section. Chemeditor ( talk) 04:42, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
Liquid-liquid extracion is based on the transfer of a solute substance from one liquid phase into another liquid phase according to the solubility. Extraction becomes a very useful tool if you choose a suitable extraction solvent. You can use extraction to separate a substance selectively from a mixture, or to remove unwanted impurities from a solution. In our experiment one phase is a water layer and the other an organic solvent which is immiscible with water. Liquid-Liquid extraction involves the distribution, or partitioning, of a solute between two immiscible liquid phases. Extraction is a separation technique based on the distribution of the organic compounds between immiscible solvents. Most often, water is used as one of the solvents. Organic solvents, from which the organic compound is soluble, are used to extract it from the aqueous mixture. All impurities, particularly inorganic impurities are left in the aqueous layer. The separatory funnel is used in any liquid-liquid extraction. The mixture to be extracted is placed in the separatory funnel and the organic solvent is added. The mixture is shaken until the organic compound is distributed into two miscible solvents. If the density is less than that of water, the layer will be the upper layer, whereas if it is greater than that of water it will be the lower layer. Depending on whether the organic layer is the upper or the lower layer.
The aqueous layer is transferred into a 250mL Erlenmeyer flask and titrated it with 0.02M NaOH solution up to the phenolphthalein endpoint. The distribution of the organic compound between the immiscible solvents is referred to as the distribution coefficient, KD. KD gives the ratio of the concentration of the solute in each solvent. The amount of solute extracted in each solvent can be determined using KD of the system. Applying multiple extractions can increase the efficiency of the extraction. In this technique, the aqueous mixture is repeatedly extracted with the organic solvent using small volumes of solvent. The amount of the solute extracted is computed in each step and the total amount of extracted solute is determined.
I found a good article in Chemical Engineering, October 2018. I notice a detailed description of the shake test apparatus, among other things. It might be a good source of references to cite.

This may seem trivial but I believe the "distribution ratio" discussed in the article is usually referred to as the "distribution coefficient," with a symbol of K not D. It is written this way in my lab manual, text book and other sources on the internet. The term "distribution coefficient" also seems to be more specific and may help eliminate confusion.

This is again a very trivial matter. This page reflects strongly the historic origins of liquid:liquid extraction but the majority (in dollar value) of extractions are performed as part of work-up of organic processes. This does not seem to be reflected in the bias of the page. Patricksears
This is true to some extent but the emphasis in this article is on applications where liquid-liquid extraction is used in metallurgy. This limitation could well be better declared and reference links to a more general article included. 150.227.15.253 ( talk) 08:23, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
I just saw that it was in a food category. Make a new article for that, make this a metallurgical article and make a general article on extraction. 150.227.15.253 ( talk) 08:34, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
In my opinion, this is not a very clear description on what LLE is and its applications. For me as an analytical chemist, LLE does not mean the unit operation but a sample workup method. The process is the same but calcuations and concerns are different. Should this be pointed out in the article? Mia Legato 19:42, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
===One big batch of solvent or several smaller batches?===
When a solute is being extracted from an aqueous phase using an organic solvent, a better recovery will be obtained by using two equal volumes of solvent than the recovery that would be obtained using all the solvent in one large volume.
This can be shown by experiment and can be explained by the following example.
- Imagine that you have a liter of water containing 10 grams of a solute which has a distribution ratio of one when the solvent is nitrobenzene.
If the aqueous solution is shaken until a dynamic equilibrium is reached with one liter of nitrobenzene, then five grams of solute would be transferred. The aqueous raffinate will contain five grams of solute. 50% of the solute has been recovered.
- Imagine that the same original aqueous mixture was shaken with 500 ml of nitrobenzene. When the system has been brought to equilibrium, the concentration of the solute in each phase is the same. As the organic to aqueous ratio is now 1:2 the aqueous phase will now contain 6.666 g of solute while the organic layer will have 3.333 g of solute.
If the two layers are now separated and the nitrobenzene extract is kept, then the aqueous layer (raffinate) can be treated further.
- If the raffinate from this first extraction is extracted with 500 ml of new nitrobenzene, then 33.33% of the remaining solute will be extracted. This will be 2.222 g of solute in the new nitrobenzene extract. In total, 3.333 + 2.222 grams of solute for a total of 5.555 grams will have been extracted. This is a recovery of 55.56%. An additional 5.56% of product has been obtained.
If the nitrobenzene was to be used in four batches of 250 ml then the outcome is theoretically better still.
The first 250 ml will extract 2 grams.
The second 250 ml will extract 1.6 grams.
The third 250 ml will extract 1.28 grams.
The fourth 250 ml will extract 1.024 grams.
In total 5.904 grams is extracted; this is a recovery of 59%.
- The process of using one large batch of solvent to extract solute is called a single extraction. The process of using several small batches of solvent to extract solute is called multiple extractions.

I removed the following from the intro:
It just lengthens the intro without adding much information in my opinion. It may be good to put it under the industrial design section, but they wouldn't mesh as currently written. Chemeditor ( talk) 04:42, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia has an entry for each subject. However, these two subjects are related, and somebody familiar with the subjects shoud insert references between the two articles. The McCabe-Thiele diagram is used extensively to model solvent extraction efficiency, while the McCame-Thiele articles mentions only one use, that of distillation. Liquid-liquid extraction should be mentioned in the McCabe-Thiele entry, while the McCabe-Thiele diagram should be mentioned in the liquid-liquid entry. Thermbal ( talk) 23:48, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
The article is, on the whole, either original research, or it is cribbed without attribution from sources. When sources are provided, the article is bipolar—nearly all references are about extractive procedures involving metallurgy/hyrometallurgy, yet the thrust of the opening and substantial parts of the article (for the most part unreferenced) is about organic extractions. The reference list is similarly bipolar (in format and other ways). Nearly all of the references are from discouraged primary literature sources, but the level of the article presentation does not even approach simplest textbook or review article (secondary and tertiary sources). Bottom line, it is not at all encyclopedic, and appears to have received intermittent interjections from non-chemists/individuals with little or no formal chemical training. Further will be said after the broader array of article issues are identified, but in short, the article is not ready for use by anyone needing reliable, verifiable information on this subject (not even pre-bacchalureate). As a point of comparison, see the first entry in "Further information", by Karger. Le Prof Leprof 7272 ( talk) 22:37, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Added LLE as an accepted abbreviation for the title concept (e.g., used in the literature, in hyphenated modern LLE techniques, by the EPA, etc.). Will provide a citation when I find a suitably general, authoritative secondary source. Le Prof Leprof 7272 ( talk) 16:35, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Stripping (and other recovery/recycling processes?) are not treated very explicitly. It deserves some treatment albeit the process is often rather similar (but sometimes the product is e.g. precipitated).
More, and rather detailed, information on the chemistry, including active complex species, of typical extraction (and stripping) processes for various metals would be appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.227.15.253 ( talk) 08:31, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
The opening line of this article is very likely to scare away any reasonable person. I tried to read it, left immediately, and then returned only to make this comment...
I submit that the average person looking for a casual description of "LLE" will learn nothing here. Is this really the purpose of an online encyclopedia? I have been complaining about this topic for over a decade to little or no avail. The authors and editors seem content to leave the technobabble and gibberish in place. I can only guess at the motives, but I can see none, except that the person(s) writing this word salad simply like to write things to make themselves feel "smart".
As for myself, I had to look elsewhere for a real definition, as I most often do these days. I suspect that most others will do likewise.
Thank you, and Goodnight. 73.6.96.168 ( talk) 13:20, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
