I would like to ask for the definition of a term related to extraction
Thread Content
In the experiments involving the selection of extractants, there is a concept of \"saturation concentration\" – does this refer to the concentration of the extractant after saturation, or to the concentration of the organic phase?
:Lol, it should refer to the maximum concentration of metal that an extractant can contain per unit concentration.
It should refer to the maximum metal load capacity of the organic phase under load.
Is that aimed at the organic phase? For example, with an extractant that is 20% concentrate and 80% diluent, if 1000 ml of this extractant is used to extract 10 g of copper, is the \"saturation concentration\" of this extractant for copper 10 g/l or 50 g/l?
Yes, it should be referred to as the maximum saturated load capacity concentration!
-- It can be said that the copper extraction capacity of this extractant is 0.5 grams/L per 1%, and whether this represents a saturated concentration depends on the conditions of your operation. --
