The greater the number of
small extractions, the greater the quantity of solute removed.If you extract twice with 1/2 the volume, the extraction is more efficient than if you extract once with a full volume. Likewise, extraction three times with 1/3 the volume is even more efficient.
The greater the number of
small extractions, the greater the quantity of solute removed.
Congratulations! Now you
have learned one of the most important concepts of EXTRACTION.
