Optimization of Liquid-Liquid Extraction
What We Offer
Developing an efficient liquid-liquid extraction process requires careful selection of solvents and optimization of extractive and separation conditions.
We have developed automated equipment and protocols to identify the composition of the extraction phase that provides the best performance for your specific case. Our comprehensive development services result in a tailored extractive process, whether it requires a single or a multistage process.
Whether you do batch or continuous extraction, we work with you to create a scalable and efficient process that meets your requirements.
Key Features
- End-to-End Process Development: We design, test, and optimize a complete extraction process based on your specific needs.
- Solvent Selection & Evaluation: We systematically test and identify the optimal solvent composition for your system using our proprietary solvent selection machine and our expertise.
- Multistage Extraction Testing: If your application can benefit from a multistage countercurrent process, we leverage our internally developed models as well as experimental testing to provide insight on benefits and performance of multistage extraction.
- Batch and/or Continuous Process Design: Develop a robust process for both batch and continuous applications using our Z-FOX platform, our MS platform, or our Continuous Liquid-Liquid Partition Chromatography (CLLPC) technology.
- Customized Reports & Guidance: Receive detailed process documentation, including solvent performance analysis, separation efficiency, and scalability insights.
How It Works
- Consultation: We discuss your specific extraction challenges and project requirements.
- Sample Submission: Send us your sample (with HPLC analytical method if needed) for analysis and testing.
- Solvent System Optimization: Identify one or more solvent systems that provide differences in partitioning of the chemical species to separate, according to your needs and constraints.
- Modeling: We develop an extraction process that meets your needs, optimizing relevant parameters.
- Experimental Testing: We carry out experimental tests on our laboratory scale platform to validate the model’s expected results.
- Process Development: Iterate process steps 3, 4, and 5 (solvent system optimization, modeling, and experimental results) until process specifications are demonstrated experimentally.
- Scale Up: We advise on scale-up feasibility and requirements.
