Experimental design for the study of extraction efficiencies of the continuous liquid-liquid extractor

Abstract

An evaluation of a Continuous Countercurrent Liquid-Liquid Extraction (CCLLE) system in conjunction with a Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer for application in trace analysis of Synthetic Organic Compounds.

An experiment is designed to test the extraction efficiency of the CCLLE system at less than 1ppb levels. Limitations of the CCLLE system are accessed.

Experimental data associated with the extraction efficiency study is included.
