INTERFACIAL PHENOMENA IN LIQUID-LIQUID EXTRACTION

Abstract
This paper deals with identification and study of chemical reactions and interfacial phenomena in liquid-liquid extraction such as: 1) condensed interfacial film formation, 2) supersaturation processes in layers adjacent to the interface and 3) other irreversible interfacial processes. Methods of interfacial phenomena study as well as theoretical models of phase and interfacial reactions are discussed. Main results on inorganic substances extraction kinetics and metal extraction catalysis are included.
