Solvent extraction — the challenges of a “mature” technology Journal Articles

abstract

• AbstractThe solvent extraction area is perceived by some chemical engineers as being mature and fully developed. The present review shows that this is not the case. Many chemical engineering problems must be solved before equipment can be confidently designed from first principles. The review also outlines progress in extraction process chemistry, and in new techniques such as membrane extraction.
