UESL Multifunctional Extraction Pilot Plant Educational Equipment Chemical Engineering
This unit enables to study three different types of extraction: liquid/liquid extraction, solid/liquid extraction with heavy extracting phase, solid/liquid extraction with light extracting phase.
Training program
This unit enables to deepen the following issues:
- Liquid/liquid extraction
- Solid/liquid extraction
- Extraction efficiency
- Mass balance
- Exercises on 3-component systems (e.g.: extraction of oil from soybean laminate with hexane)
