The Science Behind the Separation:

In the realm of chemical processing, achieving a pure, isolated component from a complex mixture can be a significant challenge. This is where liquid-liquid extraction (LLE), also known as solvent extraction, emerges as a game-changer.

Our Liquid-Liquid Extraction Unit (LLEU) embodies the essence of this technique, offering a meticulous and efficient separation process.

Understanding the Process:

At its core, LLE relies on the principle of selective solubility. Two immiscible liquids, meaning they don’t readily mix like oil and water, are brought into contact. One liquid, known as the feed, contains the desired component dissolved within it.

The other liquid, the solvent, has a high affinity for the target component and minimal interaction with the remaining components in the feed.

By carefully choosing the solvent and controlling the extraction parameters, we can selectively transfer the desired component from the feed to the solvent, leaving behind the unwanted components in the feed.

The Heart of the LLEU: A Detailed Look at the Machinery

Our LLEU is a meticulously designed apparatus composed of several key components working in harmony:

  • Extraction Vessel: This robust vessel acts as the stage where the magic happens. Here, the feed and the solvent are brought into intimate contact, facilitating the transfer of the desired component. The vessel is equipped with essential features like agitators for thorough mixing and discharge valves for efficient product recovery.
  • Reboiler Vessel: This vessel plays a crucial role in solvent recovery and process optimization. The solvent, after extracting the desired component from the feed, enters the reboiler. Here, heat is applied, causing the solvent to evaporate.
  • Condenser: The rising vapors from the reboiler travel to the condenser, where they are cooled and converted back into liquid form. This ensures the recovered solvent is recycled back into the extraction vessel for continuous operation.
  • Reflux Divider: This ingenious component plays a vital role in controlling the concentration of the extracted component in the solvent. It allows a portion of the condensed solvent to be returned to the top of the extraction vessel, while directing the remaining solvent, enriched with the extracted component, back to the reboiler for further purification.
  • Piping Network: A well-designed network of pipes connects all the vessels, ensuring smooth flow of the feed, solvent, and extracted components throughout the process. The piping system incorporates strategically placed valves for precise control over solvent feed location (top or bottom of the extraction vessel) based on the density differences between the liquids.
  • Control System: The modern LLEU leverages automation to simplify operation and ensure consistent results. A user-friendly control system allows for precise control over parameters like temperature, pressure, and flow rates. This level of automation minimizes human intervention and maximizes process repeatability.

Unveiling the Advantages: Why Choose Our LLEU?

We understand that choosing the right equipment is paramount for your success. Here’s why our LLEU stands out:

  • Unmatched Extraction Efficiency: Our meticulously designed LLEU facilitates optimal contact between the feed and solvent, maximizing the transfer of the desired component.
