“…41,48 To select a proper solvent for the separation process using liquid−liquid extraction, 13 parameters could be considered: separation factor (1), distribution coefficient (2), insolubility of solvent in raffinate (3), recoverability (4), density (5), interfacial tension (6), chemical reactivity (7), viscosity (8), vapor pressure (9), freezing point (10) non-toxicity (11), nonflammability (12), and low cost (13). 49 Chloroform and carbon tetrachloride have 10 options out of 13 (1,3,4,5,6,7,8,10,12,13). From an economic point of view, chemical stability is one of the factors that can affect economic efficiency and because both the solvents are chemically stable, they could be recovered hundreds of times.…”
