02C01 Extractive Separations
OverviewSolvent extraction continues to be an important separation unit operation. The increasing needs to achieve higher recoveries and selectivities from feeds of lower product concentrations demand improvements in our understanding of extraction fundamentals, along with our consideration of new solvents, new processes, and new contacting and sensing/monitoring equipment. This session will focus on paper presentations that address new developments and future trends in extractive separations. Papers are welcomed that describe experimental discoveries, as well as those that describe computer aided design.
