What is the density of the organic phase used for indium extraction? Also, what are the effects of too high or too low a density?
-- A low density facilitates phase separation. --
There are specific ratio requirements for the organic phase used in indium extraction; too low a concentration affects the extraction efficiency, while too high a concentration leads to severe emulsification during the extraction process. Generally, a concentration of 30% for the extractant and 70% for diluted kerosene yields satisfactory results.
