Liquid-Liquid Extraction
Liquid - Liquid Extraction (LLX) Process Equipment :
LLX units with flexibility spanning use from university engineering and chemistry class and research laboratories, to use as a continuous production pilot plant. As supplied, features readily adjusted flow patterns of counter-current, co-current, cross-current, and internal recycle. Standard size LLX unit consists of a total of 10 mixer-settler (M-S) boxes.
Pilot or Small Plant :
Unit offers a bench or pilot scale capability in LLX for your value recovery business or R&D lab. The unit is custom made in Alabama by skilled technicians and can be custom-designed to meet your needs. Designs are readily changed or refurbished as desired using available parts.
Applications:
LLX process recovers values or wastes from a feed liquid stream that contains the components to be recovered, separated, and / or concentrated such as: Precious metal ions: Rare earth elements, platinum group metals, electronic and optics scrap metal such as gallium and aluminum. Recover/ recycle base metals: copper, nickel, zinc, cobalt, iron, and manganese Anions from aqueous streams using anion-exchange extracting phases: phosphate, sulfate, nitrate, chromate(VI), and arsenate(V).
