The effect of LA dilution at various levels along with the effect of relevant variables like LA, CGA and continuous-phase flow rates, type of LA etc. on extraction efficiency has been studied. The results indicate that the twofold dilution LA type gives the best efficiency vs. fivefold and no dilution LA type, and that the mass-transfer performance of PDSE is significantly better than conventional spray column.
