This unit enables to study three different types of extraction:
• liquid/liquid extraction
• solid/liquid extraction with heavy extracting phase
• solid/liquid extraction with light extracting phase.
These three types of extraction are carried out through 3 interchangeable extraction vessels.
TRAINING PROGRAM
