New Developments in Extractive Separations I

Solvent extraction continues to be an important 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 brings together persons from industry, academia, and government who practice solvent extraction, and serves as a forum to disseminate new knowledge in the field.
