  • Separation techniques are important in chemistry, and they won't always be as easy as filtration. Sometimes we need to separate two compounds that are dissolved in the same solution. Often we can take advantage of a difference in solubility or reactivity to perform an extraction. This is where one component is pulled into another solvent that is immiscible with the first, and we can separate the two layers using a separatory funnel. There is a lot to learn to do this efficiently, so let's get a closer look at how to perform this technique!

    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.

    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...

    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.

    • @eatshitlarrypage.3319
      @eatshitlarrypage.3319 Před rokem

      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.

      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.
