When the pH is 3.00, [\(\text{H}_3\text{O}_{aq}^+\)] is \(1.0 \times 10^{-3}\) and the distribution ratio is, \[D=\frac{(3.00)\left(1.0 \times 10^{-3}\right)}{1.0 \times 10^{-3}+1.00 \times 10^{-5}}=2.97 \nonumber\], The fraction of solute that remains in the aqueous phase is, \[\left(Q_{aq}\right)_{1}=\frac{50.00 \ \mathrm{mL}}{(2.97)(50.00 \ \mathrm{mL})+50.00 \ \mathrm{mL}}=0.252 \nonumber\]. A standard environmental analytical method illustrates the importance of liquidliquid extractions. It is therefore the case that under acidic conditions amines are typically protonated, carrying a positive charge and under basic conditions they are typically deprotonated and neutral. The liquid to be extracted is poured into extraction vessel. Contents. From a hydrometallurgical perspective, solvent extraction is exclusively used in separation and purification of uranium and plutonium, zirconium and hafnium, separation of cobalt and nickel, separation and purification of rare earth elements etc., its greatest advantage being its ability to selectively separate out even very similar metals. This is large volume of chloroform. This quantitative measure is known as the distribution ratio or distribution coefficient. After extracting with 5.00 mL of toluene, 0.889 g of the solute is recovered in the organic phase. For the design of a good process, the distribution ratio should be not too high (>100) or too low (<0.1) in the extraction portion of the process. Biotechnology Techniques 2:4:277. This is where the fresh solvent S enters the system and the final raffinate \(R_N\) leaves the system. This could refer to the mass of the stream or the composition of the stream. On the basis of these The solute initially is present in one of the two phases; after the extraction it is present in both phases. (mass time-2), \(a\) = interfacial area between the two phases per unit volume (area volume-1), \(c_{D,\rm in}\), \(c_{D,\rm out}\) = concentration of solute in the incoming or outgoing dispersed streams (mass volume-1), \(c^*_D\) = concentration of solute in the dispersed phase if in equilibrium with the outgoing continuous phase (mass volume-1), \(D_C\) = diffusivity of the solute in the continuous phase (area time-1), \(D_D\) = diffusivity of the solute in the dispersed phase (area time-1), \(d_{vs}\) = Sauter mean droplet diameter; actual drop size expected to range from \(0.3d_{vs}-3.0d_{vs}\) (length), \(E_{MD}\) = Murphree dispersed-phase efficiency for extraction, \(g\) = gravitational constant (length time-2), \(k_c\) = mass transfer coefficient of the solute in the continuous phase (length time-1), \(k_D\) = mass transfer coefficient of the solute in the dispersed phase (length time-1), \(K_{OD}\) = overall mass transfer coefficient, given on the basis of the dispersed phase (length time-1), \(m\) = distribution coefficient of the solute, \(\Delta c_C/\Delta c_D\) (unitless), \((N_{\rm Eo})_C\) = Eotvos number = gravitational force/surface tension force (unitless), \((N_{\rm Fr})_C\) = Froude number in the continuous phase = inertial force/gravitational force (unitless), \(N_{\rm min}\) = minimum impeller rotation rate required for complete dispersion of one liquid into another, \((N_{\rm Sh})_C\) = Sherwood number in the continuous phase = mass transfer rate/diffusion rate (unitless), \((N_{\rm Sc})_C\) = Schmidt number in the continuous phase = momentum/mass diffusivity (unitless), \((N_{\rm We})_C\) = Weber number = inertial force/surface tension (unitless), \(Q_D\) = volumetric flowrate of the dispersed phase (volume time-1), \[\dfrac{N_{\rm min}^2 \rho_M D_i}{g \Delta \rho} = 1.03 \left(\dfrac{D_T}{D_i}\right)^{2.76} (\phi_D)^{0.106} \left(\dfrac{\mu_M^2 \sigma}{D_i^5 \rho_M g^2 (\Delta \rho)^2} \right)^{0.084} \tag{6.1}\], \[{\rho}_M={\rho}_C{\phi}_C+{\rho}_D{\phi}_D \tag{6.2}\], \[{\mu}_M=\frac{{\mu}_C}{{\phi}_C}\left(1+\frac{1.5{\mu}_D{\phi}_D}{{\mu}_C+{\mu}_D}\right) \tag{6.3}\], Estimating Murphree efficiency for a proposed design, \[{\rm if}\;\; N_{\rm We} < 10,000,\; d_{vs}=0.052D_i(N_{\rm We})^{-0.6}\exp({4{\phi}_D}) \tag{6.4}\], \[{\rm if}\;\; N_{\rm We} >10,000,\; d_{vs}=0.39D_i(N_{\rm We})^{-0.6} \tag{6.5}\], \[N_{\rm We}=\frac{D_i^3N^2{\rho}_C}{\sigma} \tag{6.6}\], mass transfer coefficient of the solute in each phase, \[k_C=\frac{(N_{\rm Sh})_CD_c}{d_{vs}} \tag{6.8}\], \[(N_{\rm Sh})_C = 1.237 \times 10^{-5} (N_{\rm Sc})_C^{1/3} (N_{\rm Re})_C^{2/3} (\phi_D)^{-1/2} \tag{6.9}\], \[(N_{\rm Fr})_C^{5/12} \left( \dfrac{D_i}{d_{vs}} \right)^2 \left( \dfrac{d_{vs}}{D_T} \right)^{1/2} (N_{Eo})_C^{5/4} \tag{6.9} \], \[(N_{\rm Sc})_C=\frac{{\mu}_C}{{\rho}_CD_C} \tag{6.10}\], \[(N_{\rm Re})_C=\frac{D_i^2N{\rho}_C}{{\mu}_C} \tag{6.11}\], \[(N_{\rm Fr})_C = \dfrac{D_i N^2}{g} \tag{6.12}\], \[(N_{Eo})_C = \dfrac{\rho_D d_{vs}^2 g}{\sigma} \tag{6.13}\], Overall mass transfer coefficient for the solute, \[\frac{1}{K_{OD}}=\frac{1}{k_D}+\frac{1}{mk_C} \tag{6.14}\], \[E_{MD}=\frac{K_{OD}aV}{Q_D}\left(1+{\frac{K_{OD}aV}{Q_D}}\right)^{-1} \tag{6.15}\], \[E_{MD}=\frac{c_{D,\rm in}-c_{D,\rm out}}{c_{D,\rm in}-c^*_D} \tag{6.17}\]. The transfer energies of the anions contribute to that given out by the reaction. Draw a straight line between \(F\) and \(E_1\). The general solid-liquid extraction procedure is applicable to a range of fields from environmental monitoring (shown in this video) to cosmetics and food processing. LLE is a basic technique in chemical laboratories, where it is performed using a variety of apparatus, from separatory funnels to countercurrent distribution equipment called as mixer settlers. A classic example is the extraction of carboxylic acids (HA) into nonpolar media such as benzene. \(\Delta \rho\) = density difference (absolute value) between the continuous and dispersed phases (mass volume-1), \({\rm HETS}\) = height of equilibrium transfer stage (length), \(m^*_C\) = mass flowrate of the entering continuous phase (mass time-1), \(m^*_D\) = mass flowrate of the entering dispersed phase (mass time-1), \(N\) = required number of equilibrium stages, \(u_0\) = characteristic rise velocity of a droplet of the dispersed phase (length time-1), \(U_i\) = superficial velocity of phase \(i\) (C = continuous, downward; D = dispersed, upward) (length time-1), \(V^*_i\) = volumetric flowrate of phase \(i\) (volume time-1), \[U_i = \dfrac{4V_i^*}{\pi D_T^2} \tag{7.1}\], \[\dfrac{U_D}{U_C} = \dfrac{m_D^*}{m_C^*} \left( \dfrac{\rho_C}{\rho_D} \right) \tag{7.2}\], \[(U_D + U_C)_{\rm actual} = 0.50(U_D + U_C)_f \tag{7.3}\], \[u_0 = \dfrac{0.01 \sigma \Delta \rho}{\mu_C \rho_C} \tag{7.4} \], for rotating-disk columns, \(D_T\) = 8 to 42 inches, with one aqueous phase, \[D_T = \left( \dfrac{4m_D^*}{\rho_D U_D \pi} \right)^{0.5} = \left( \dfrac{4m_C^*}{\rho_C U_C \pi} \right)^{0.5} \tag{7.5}\]. Use this composition to locate point \(M\) along the straight line connection points \(F\) and \(S\). If the solute participates in one or more additional equilibrium reactions within a phase, then the distribution ratio and the partition coefficient may not be the same. Lets assume the solute initially is present in the aqueous phase and that we wish to extract it into the organic phase. The solvent is pure MIBK. A novel settling device, Sudhin BioSettler, canseparate an oil-water emulsion continuously at a much faster rate than simple gravity settlers. Extraction efficiencythat is, the percentage of solute that moves from one phase to the otheris determined by the equilibrium constant for the solutes partitioning between the phases and any other side reactions that involve the solute. In this experiment, the nonpolar halogens preferentially dissolve in the non-polar mineral oil. Caffeine extraction used to be done using liquidliquid extraction, specifically direct and indirect liquidliquid extraction (Swiss Water Method), but has since moved towards super-critical CO2 as it is cheaper and can be done on a commercial scale.[16][17]. {\displaystyle D_{\mathrm {I} ^{+2}}} If for an extraction system the D value is proportional to the square of the concentration of a reagent (Z) then the slope of the graph of log10(D) against log10([[Z]]) will be two. \[\left(\operatorname{mol} \ S_{a q}\right)_{0}=\left(\operatorname{mol} \ S_{a q}\right)_{1}+\left(\operatorname{mol} \ S_{org}\right)_{1} \label{7.2}\], where the subscripts indicate the extraction number with 0 representing the system before the extraction and 1 the system following the first extraction. LLE is also widely used in the production of fine organic compounds, the processing of perfumes, the production of vegetable oils and biodiesel, and other industries. Note the intersection of these two lines and label as \(P\). (b) If we extract 20.00 mL of an aqueous solution that contains the solute using 10.00 mL of toluene, what is the extraction efficiency? The LibreTexts libraries arePowered by NICE CXone Expertand are supported by the Department of Education Open Textbook Pilot Project, the UC Davis Office of the Provost, the UC Davis Library, the California State University Affordable Learning Solutions Program, and Merlot. Ignore the contribution of the solute and the co-solvent to the physical properties of each phase. Caffeine can also be extracted from coffee beans and tea leaves using a direct organic extraction. Filter By category Extraction Systems Liquid or Solid Extraction Devices brands Biotage (1) Chemglass Life Sciences (14) Corning (5) , a divalent metal ions extraction efficiency increases from approximately 0% to 100% over a range of 2 pH units. At a pH of 1.00, we extract only 0.40% of the metal into the organic phase. The y-axis is the concentration of solute in the extract (solvent) phase, and the x-axis is the concentration of the solute in the raffinate phase. Using solvent extraction it is possible to extract uranium, plutonium, thorium and many rare earth elements from acid solutions in a selective way by using the right choice of organic extracting solvent and diluent. Experimental Procedure 3. Ignoring the contribution of the solute and the co-solvent to the physical properties of each phase, find the required column diameter and height. Do a material balance to find the composition of one species in the overall mixture. Another example of this application is extracting anisole from a mixture of water and 5% acetic acid using ether, then the anisole will enter the organic phase. Stream \(E_{N-1}\) passes stream \(R_{N-2}\). \(M\) will be located within the ternary phase diagram. Solid/Liquid extraction or leaching processes have a very long tradition and are widely used in the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. separating aromatics from hydrocarbons) \(R_n\) = raffinate leaving stage \(n\). Find the power consumption and Murphree efficiency if the system operates at \(N_{\rm min}\), controlled at the level of 1 rev/s. The system could then be used by the food industry to isolate or eliminate particular flavors. The LLEs are designed to be highly efficient, reducing energy consumption and operating costs. . This could refer to the mass of the stream or the composition of the stream. Both extraction types are based on the same principle, the separation of compounds, based on their relative solubilities in two different immiscible liquids or solid matter compound. This pH is greater than the minimum pH for extracting Cu2+ and significantly less than the minimum pH for extracting either Cd2+ or Ni2+. Because the phases are immiscible they form two layers, with the denser phase on the bottom. \(S\) = solvent entering extractor stage \(N\). This tutorial video will guide you on how to model a Liquid-Liquid Extractor using Aspen Hysys V11https://www.udemy.com/course/aspen-hysys-simulation-course-. Because of this, demixing a polymerpolymer system is often much more difficult than demixing a solvent extraction. The PUREX process that is commonly used in nuclear reprocessing uses a mixture of tri-n-butyl phosphate and an inert hydrocarbon (kerosene), the uranium(VI) are extracted from strong nitric acid and are back-extracted (stripped) using weak nitric acid. It is typically determined over an array of agitation speeds, effective heights, solvent-to-feed ratios, and capacities. Amines of sufficiently low molecular weight are rather polar and can form hydrogen bonds with water and therefore will readily dissolve in aqueous solutions. The two phases enter the mixing section where they are mixed using an impeller. The organic phase is then drained off. Amines (analogously to ammonia) have a lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom that can form a relatively weak bond to a hydrogen atom. The extraction methods for a range of metals include:[26][27]. The partition coefficient is a thermodynamic equilibrium constant and has a fixed value for the solutes partitioning between the two phases. (b) To extract 99.9% of the solute (qaq)1 must be 0.001. After equilibration, the extract phase containing the desired solute is separated out for further processing. Temperature swing solvent extraction is an experimental technique for the desalination of drinking water. (a) The solutes distribution ratio between water and toluene is, \[D=\frac{\left[S_{o r g}\right]}{\left[S_{a q}\right]}=\frac{0.889 \ \mathrm{g} \times \frac{1 \ \mathrm{mol}}{117.3 \ \mathrm{g}} \times \frac{1}{0.00500 \ \mathrm{L}}}{(1.235 \ \mathrm{g}-0.889 \ \mathrm{g}) \times \frac{1 \ \mathrm{mol}}{117.3 \ \mathrm{g}} \times \frac{1}{0.01000 \ \mathrm{L}}}=5.14 \nonumber\], (b) The fraction of solute remaining in the aqueous phase after one extraction is, \[\left(q_{a q}\right)_{1}=\frac{V_{a q}}{D V_{org}+V_{a q}}=\frac{20.00 \ \mathrm{mL}}{(5.14)(10.00 \ \mathrm{mL})+20.00 \ \mathrm{mL}}=0.280 \nonumber\]. When a solvent is extracted, two immiscible liquids are shaken together. There are two solvents involved and a solute which is transferred from one to . If we extract a solute from an aqueous phase into an organic phase, \[S_{a q} \rightleftharpoons S_{o r g} \nonumber\], \[K_{\mathrm{D}}=\frac{\left[S_{org}\right]}{\left[S_{a q}\right]} \nonumber\]. Solid-liquid extraction processes, both traditional ones (maceration and percolation) and those introduced more recently (e.g., supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and accelerated solvent extraction (ASE), are based on two fundamental principles: diffusion and/or osmosis. Connect with a straight line. If the target compound being separated is a protein or enzyme, it is possible to incorporate a ligand to the target into one of the polymer phases. Because the position of an acidbase equilibrium depends on pH, the distribution ratio, D, is pH-dependent. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. The extraction efficiencies are 84.0% for two extractions and 93.6% for three extractions.

Solving Equation \ref{7.6} for Vorg, and making appropriate substitutions for (qaq)1 and Vaq gives, \[V_{o r g}=\frac{V_{a q}-\left(q_{a q}\right)_{1} V_{a q}}{\left(q_{a q}\right)_{1} D}=\frac{50.00 \ \mathrm{mL}-(0.001)(50.00 \ \mathrm{mL})}{(0.001)(5.00 \ \mathrm{mL})}=999 \ \mathrm{mL} \nonumber\]. As shown in Example 7.7.4 Every pair of passing streams must be connected by a straight line that passes through \(P\). It is often the case that the process will have a section for scrubbing unwanted metals from the organic phase, and finally a stripping section to obtain the metal back from the organic phase. This process is useful in extraction organic compounds such as organochloride and organophsophorus pesticides, as well as substituted benzene compounds from water samples. There are different types of extraction, the two main ones being liquid-liquid and liquid-solid extraction. Made by faculty at Lafayette College and produced by the University of Colorado Boulder, Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering. [10] In the multistage processes, the aqueous raffinate from one extraction unit is fed to the next unit as the aqueous feed, while the organic phase is moved in the opposite direction. [31], Dialkyl sulfides, tributyl phosphate and alkyl amines have been used for extracting palladium and platinum. The plutonium(IV) forms a similar complex to the uranium(VI), but it is possible to strip the plutonium in more than one way; a reducing agent that converts the plutonium to the trivalent oxidation state can be added. The same calculation at a pH of 5.00 gives the extraction efficiency as 60%. For instance, if the distribution ratio for nickel (DNi) is 10 and the distribution ratio for silver (DAg) is 100, then the silver/nickel separation factor (SFAg/Ni) is equal to DAg/DNi = SFAg/Ni = 10.[5]. \(P\) = Operating point. For instance, if a process is fed with a mixture of 1:9 cadmium to indium, and the product is a 1:99 mixture of cadmium and indium, then the decontamination factor (for the removal of cadmium) of the process is 0.11 / 0.01 = 11. Accessibility StatementFor more information contact us atinfo@libretexts.orgor check out our status page at https://status.libretexts.org. A change in the pH of the aqueous phase, for example, will not affect the solutes extraction efficiency when KD and D have the same value. Aqueous Two-Phase Extractions in Bioseparations: An Assessment. There is a net transfer of one or more species from one liquid into another liquid phase, generally from aqueous to organic. Liquid-Liquid Extraction Column: Selection, Scale-up and Design. A large value for KD indicates that extraction of solute into the organic phase is favorable. In that case, a soluble compound is separated from an insoluble compound or a complex matrix. \(N\) = Final stage. What is the extraction efficiency if we extract 100.0 mL of a \(1.0 \times 10^{-6}\) M aqueous solution of M2+, buffered to a pH of 1.00, with 10.00 mL of an organic solvent that is 0.1 mM in the chelating agent? The extraction efficiency, therefore, is almost 75%. A mixer settler consists of a first stage that mixes the phases together followed by a quiescent settling stage that allows the phases to separate by gravity. Deprotonated amines on the other hand, are neutral and have greasy, nonpolar organic substituents, and therefore have a higher affinity for nonpolar inorganic solvents. A solution of solute (A) in diluent (B) is mixed with a solvent (S). [29], The rare earth element Neodymium is extracted by di(2-ethyl-hexyl)phosphoric acid into hexane by an ion exchange mechanism. For instance, the 31.1 kJ mol1 is required to transfer an acetate anion into nitrobenzene,[13] while the energy required to transfer a chloride anion from an aqueous phase to nitrobenzene is 43.8 kJ mol1. Clearly, a single extraction is not reasonable under these conditions. Connect with a straight line. (a) The fraction of solute remaining in the aqueous phase after two extractions and three extractions is, \[\left(Q_{aq}\right)_{2}=\left(\frac{50.00 \ \mathrm{mL}}{(5.00)(15.00 \ \mathrm{mL})+50.00 \ \mathrm{mL}}\right)^{2}=0.160 \nonumber\], \[\left(Q_{a q}\right)_{3}=\left(\frac{50.0 \ \mathrm{mL}}{(5.00)(15.00 \ \mathrm{mL})+50.00 \ \mathrm{mL}}\right)^{3}=0.0640 \nonumber\]. In a simple liquidliquid extraction the solute partitions itself between two immiscible phases. One approach is to carry out the extraction on a solution that contains a known amount of solute. We also acknowledge previous National Science Foundation support under grant numbers 1246120, 1525057, and 1413739. Course Index Unit Conversions (Practice) Systems of Units Label \(E_1\)@\(S_{\rm min}\). [32][33], Polonium is produced in reactors from natural 209Bi, bombarded with neutrons, creating 210Bi, which then decays to 210Po via beta-minus decay. This is done by taking advantage of the relative solubility of a compound between two liquids. [3], After performing liquidliquid extraction, a quantitative measure must be taken to determine the ratio of the solution's total concentration in each phase of the extraction. Instead, water is reduced to hydrogen. This could refer to the mass of the stream or the composition of the stream. \(M\) = Composition of the overall mixture. Each mixer-settler unit provides a single stage of extraction. The Armfield Liquid/Liquid Extraction Unit takes the form of a vertically-oriented packed column which may be operated either, by filling the column with water and allowing a solvent to flow down the column over the packing, or filling the column with solvent and allowing water to flow up the column over the packing. This is the simplest type of solvent extraction. \[0.001=\left(\frac{50.00 \ \mathrm{mL}}{(5.00)(15.00 \ \mathrm{mL})+50.00 \ \mathrm{mL}}\right)^{n}=(0.400)^{n} \nonumber\], Taking the log of both sides and solving for n, \[\begin{aligned} \log (0.001) &=n \log (0.400) \\ n &=7.54 \end{aligned} \nonumber\]. This develops great surfaces for an ideal mass transfer from the aqueous phase into the organic phase. The Feed stream may consist of any number of components. Liquidliquid extraction is possible in non-aqueous systems: In a system consisting of a molten metal in contact with molten salts, metals can be extracted from one phase to the other. The ability to purify DNA from a sample is important for many modern biotechnology processes. , we reach an extraction efficiency of 99% after five extractions and need three additional extractions to obtain the extra 0.9% increase in extraction efficiency. Draw a line from \(P_{\rm min}\) to F and extend to the other side of the equilibrium curve. Locate point \(R_N\) on the ternary phase diagram. The resulting solution is then centrifuged to separate the organic and aqueous layers. Suppose we extract a 50.00-mL sample of a 0.050 M aqueous solution of the solute using 15.00 mL of chloroform. Tailor-made. \(E_n\) = extract leaving stage \(n\). The data set can then be converted into a curve to determine the steady state partitioning behavior of the solute between the two phases. The solvent that is enriched in solute(s) is called extract. As a result, the distribution ratio does not depend on the composition of the aqueous phase or the organic phase. In this photo, an oil-water emulsion, stirred by an impeller in an external reservoir and pumped continuously into the two bottom side ports of BioSettler, is separated very quickly into a clear organic (mineral oil) layer exiting via the top of BioSettler and an aqueous (coloured with a red food dye) layer being pumped out continuously from the bottom of BioSettler. Source with confidence. Determine the number of equilibrium stages required to achieve the desired separation with the selected solvent mass. Liquid/Liquid Extraction Solutions: Batch operated Mixing/Settling Units Continuously operated Mixer-Settlers This could refer to the mass of the stream or the composition of the stream. This is related to a mercury electrode where a metal can be reduced, the metal will often then dissolve in the mercury to form an amalgam that modifies its electrochemistry greatly. Here, it is often the case that the carboxylic acid will form a dimer in the organic layer so the distribution ratio will change as a function of the acid concentration (measured in either phase). The special Sulzer extraction packing reduces the back-mixing of the continuous phase, thereby providing nearly plug flow conditions and a narrow droplet size . Clearly the reverse is true as well, using polar extraction solvent and a nonpolar solvent to partition a nonpolar interferent. This, as well as the absence of solvents or other denaturing agents, makes polymerpolymer extractions an attractive option for purifying proteins. For example, Figure 7.7.3 If we carry out a second extraction, the fraction of solute remaining in the aqueous phase, (qaq)2, is, \[\left(q_{a q}\right)_{2}=\frac{\left(\operatorname{mol} \ S_{a q}\right)_{2}}{\left(\operatorname{mol} \ S_{a q}\right)_{1}}=\frac{V_{a q}}{D V_{org}+V_{a q}} \nonumber\], If Vaq and Vorg are the same for both extractions, then the cumulative fraction of solute that remains in the aqueous layer after two extractions, (Qaq)2, is the product of (qaq)1 and (qaq)2, or, \[\left(Q_{aq}\right)_{2}=\frac{\left(\operatorname{mol} \ S_{aq}\right)_{2}}{\left(\operatorname{mol} \ S_{aq}\right)_{0}}=\left(q_{a q}\right)_{1} \times\left(q_{a q}\right)_{2}=\left(\frac{V_{a q}}{D V_{o r g}+V_{a q}}\right)^{2} \nonumber\], In general, for a series of n identical extractions, the fraction of analyte that remains in the aqueous phase after the last extraction is, \[\left(Q_{a q}\right)_{n}=\left(\frac{V_{a q}}{D V_{o r g}+V_{a q}}\right)^{n} \label{7.7}\]. In most cases there is little improvement in extraction efficiency after five or six extractions.

Scheme for butyl acetate/acetone/water liquid-liquid extraction system. D2EHPA (Di (2) ethyl hexyl phosphoric acid) is used for this. When the pH is 1.00 the distribution ratio is, \[D=\frac{\left(2.5 \times 10^{16}\right)\left(7.0 \times 10^{4}\right)\left(5.0 \times 10^{-5}\right)^{2}\left(1.0 \times 10^{-4}\right)^{2}}{\left(1.0 \times 10^{4}\right)^{2}(0.10)^{2}+\left(2.5 \times 10^{16}\right)\left(5.0 \times 10^{-5}\right)^{2}\left(1.0 \times 10^{-4}\right)^{2}} \nonumber\], or a D of 0.0438. It must have at least two components. Often one part is water while the other can . \(F\) = solvent entering extractor stage 1. The two phases are put into a device called a separatory funnel, and compounds in the system will distribute between the two phases. 1000 kg/hr of 30 wt% acetone and 70 wt% water is to be extracted with 1000 kg/hr of pure MIBK.
