Extraction methods suitable for liquidliquid systems are described and computation methods applicable to these cases are briefly discussed.A graphical method, employing triangular coordinates, for representing equilibrium in complex oil-solvent systems is developed as a basis of computation for the solvent refining of oils. Calculated and experimental results from both multiple and countercurrent extraction processes refining different lubricating oil stocks with different lubricating oil stocks with nitrobenzene are compared, and the methods presented are shown to be sufficiently accurate for most purposes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
