Science and Practice of Liquid-Liquid Extraction: Volume 1

Part of a two-volume work providing an account of aspects of liquid-liquid extraction technology, as well as extraction processes in a number of industries. This volume discusses such topics as the thermodynamics of phase equilibria, mass transfer, plug flow analysis and axial dispersion.

---

This work presents an up-to-date account of some of the fundamental aspects of liquid-liquid extraction technology together with an account of extraction processes in a number of important industries.

The work is divided into two parts. This volume is concerned with the thermodynamics of phase equilibria; mass transfer in liquid-liquid systems including the complicating role of interfacial turbulence; behaviour of liquid-liquid dispersions and the selection and design of countercurrent contactors for particular applications.
