A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Leaching and solid-liquid extraction

Leaching, also called solid–liquid extraction, is the separation process in which a solvent removes a soluble component from a solid matrix while the insoluble solid remains behind. For exams, you must master the mechanism of solute transfer, the factors that control extraction efficiency, and the common equipment and stagewise calculations used to describe single-stage and multistage operations.
