Question

What is Solid-Liquid Extraction?

Answer 1

Solid-liquid extraction: Solid-liquid extraction is a type of extraction process of extraction which is performed between the solid and liquid phases.

• In this type of extraction solute particle(dispersed phase) is in a solid state and the solvent(dispersed medium) is in the liquid state.
• Solid-liquid extraction is a method that is used mainly to remove soluble components from solids using a solvent.
• Example: Separation of tea leaves from tea, leaching of metal salts from ores, or obtaining oil from oilseeds.
