Liquid-liquid extraction through Microfluidic Devices: Study of Interfacial Structure and Kinetics of Transfer”
In spite of the importance of solvent extraction in many industrial applications such as nuclear purification processes, our knowledge about the mechanism of extraction is frequently unsatisfactory. The reason is connected to the lack of understanding the behaviour of interfacial zone.

 

To investigate the effect of different experimental conditions on the efficiency of mass transfer through the interface in liquid-liquid extraction process we used microfluidic tools  due to its conviniency. Microfluidic systems are extremely efficient tools to study interfacial phenomena with many promising advantages on bulk techniques.
