Liquid-Liquid Extraction

[@Kualinar]

I remember doing liquid-liquid extraction. Our teacher explained how it worked, then, we had a lab to put that in practice. He told us to use the second liquid in three parts. I instead divided my liquid into six parts, and stated that clearly in my report and exactly why I did it. My yield was significantly higher than that of the others to nearly 90% compared to the 65 to 75% that they had.

[@AkkaOniVA]

Did the teacher give you extra points for that? If not, they should have.

[@Kualinar]

@@AkkaOniVA I don't remember. That was about 40 years go...

[@chetanupadhyay8367]

I did this extraction recently during my organic chemistry lab... I separate ternary mixture using this technique... Firstly, I dissolved my mixture in ether... Then, the ether insoluble part settles down and ether soluble part dissolved completely in it (two compounds)... After that, I added small amount of sodium bicarbonate in it and there was a precipitate formation... Then, I transferred that solution in separating funnel and there was a formation of two layer... Finally I separated the all three compounds that were present in that mixture... Really, this was a really helpful technique...

[@BradSchmor]

I worked as a development chemist and there are some real-world problems that come along with liquid-liquid extractions, some of which can become a serious problem on large scale (12 L - 10,000+ L). Anything bigger than 5 L is too big to shake by hand so you must use an impeller (basically an overhead motor with a long blade to whip the stuff). Emulsions can form which sometimes take hours or even days to break; gentle agitation sometimes helps with that. Sometimes we add salt (NaCl) to the aqueous phase to either help break emulsions or reduce the solubility of organics, especially if the solvent has appreciable water solubility, like ether or ethyl acetate. Btw ethyl acetate remains in wide use in academia, but I promise you- isopropyl acetate is much better behaved in every way. Start using it.

Reminds me of what happened to Cecil Kelley. They had a vat of sub-critical plutonium in an aqueous solution that had been sitting for a while, so a lot of the more radioactive material had risen to the surface. When he turned on the impeller, it formed a vortex on the surface, pulling all of that radioactive material down to bottom of said vortex where it reached criticality and absolutely blasted the poor guy with a shitload of radiation. (Yes, Kyle Hill etc. Love me some science Thor.)

[@galileog8945]

This series is about LAB techniques, not about pilot or production plants.

[@BradSchmor]

@@galileog8945 I'm aware of that. I just wanted to put it out there that this technique as described has some limitations. Emulsions can be a serious problem at any scale

[@vedmaburuxova68]

@@BradSchmor I remember when I had organic chemistry class some of us managed to make an emulsion doing this and lost several hours waiting for it to fix itself.. Sucked to see the others go, luckily mine wasn't too bad

I actually ended up using this method in another unrelated lab because of complications related to a recrystallization. Our product had dissolved but had insoluble impurities that needed to be removed.

holy cow, I didn't think a forge would be a liquid-liquid extraction, crazy

[@elliejohnson2786]

I always wondered how the two layers are perfectly separated, I thought you just poured out a tiny bit after the first layer was dumped, I didn't know the stop cock actually held that fine line between the layers.

[@andrewjustin256]

Right! This makes chemistry teeny bit unreliable. This is what I always think like hey how do I add hydrogen ion to a molecule and only to that portion not any other. It pans out that it is about snatching-and-obtaning-one-atom-from-the-other kind of business. And that is why Physics rules Chemistry!

You should never evaporate organic solvent outside of a fume hood because many of those are quite flammable.

[@akshayg4754]

Great job mate

[@Thaumius]

Does the way that you hold the separatory funnel while mixing impact the extraction efficiency?

[@yepyep2315]

Decantação usa misturas de líquidos-líquidos e usa as propriedades da solubilidade geralmente adicionamos um novo solvente à mistura que só se mistura a um dos dois componentes para separar as camadas usamos um funil de decantação a camada inferior é o componente mais denso, enquanto a superior é o componente menos denso misturamos com movimentos suaves (desenhando um 8 deitado no ar com o funil de decantação) tendo certeza que está bem tampado (coloque a mão na tampa e não aponte o funil para ninguém)

[@ambarwaleed2750]

Sir i have a question? If we simply add benzoin acid in water and extracted in organic layer? Does it work? Or we require methoxy naphthalene?

[@Way345]

I would say a great separation technique alternative to energy intensive distillation processes, or at least a great initial step for separations to save on energy costs

Thanks! What solvent do we use to separate trialkylamine and dibromoalkane from the product salt? I've tried with DCM but it gets dissolved fully and no two layers are formed for separation.

[@borttorbbq2556]

What are they dissolved in currently? Or are these dry salts

[@Noldor97]

u can try a two phase system like water and diethyl ether or something. trialkylamines are mostly pretty water soluble, the dibromoalkane shouldnt be most of the time

[@Sanskrita04]

[@BradSchmor]

DCM (and chloroform) is notorious for extracting amine hydrochlorides from aqueous phases when you don't want it to. I'm not entirely clear as to why this is (perhaps the ammonium having almost like a hydrogen bond to the DCM chlorine atoms?). You're probably better off with isopropyl acetate or MTBE.

How do you separate 95% ethanol from flavor/smell terpenes? They're pulled out of solution during the solvent reclamation phase of a whole extraction for the purposes of Rick Simpson oil. Asking for a friend 🙃

In a pinch I've seen people use the Gatorade sport-cap (twisty spout thing) and bottle, turned upside down, as a sep funnel. But I don't recommend it.

Hello. What if you want the lighter layer? the one that stays on top. And the bottom layer is greasy, stays on the walls and contaminate a little bit the top layer. Normaly i transfer to a graduated cylinder and use a pimpette, is there a better or easyer way?

Would molecular sieves work for this purpose or would they not be selective enough

[@borttorbbq2556]

I know that you can use molecular sieves to dry ethanol and other alcohols but I don't know how much use they have outside of that

[@borttorbbq2556]

I meant for drying the separated product
