The dynamics of extraction processes: Part I. Introduction and critical review of previous work

Abstract
A critical review and comparison of published work in the field of extraction dynamics is made. These studies of the transient behavior of liquid‐liquid extraction processes are summarized and evaluated. From these evaluations it is concluded that much work remains to be done for systems other than those involving simple extraction columns with terminal feeds and products, and also that pulse testing and frequency response analysis have become important tools for the determination of extraction dynamics. It was also concluded that staged models as opposed to differential contact models offer the most hope for realistic control and simulation studies.
