K-JHIL Scientific Offers Counter-Current Liquid-Liquid Extraction Systems for Pharmaceutical Purification and Metal Recovery

VAPI, Gujarat, India - K-JHIL Scientific Pvt. Ltd., a chemical processing equipment manufacturer based in Vapi, Gujarat, is presenting its counter-current liquid-liquid extraction systems designed for pharmaceutical purification, hydrometallurgical metal recovery, and industrial chemical separation applications requiring high-efficiency solvent-based separation technology.

Liquid-liquid extraction operates on the principle of differential solubility - a target compound preferentially partitions from the feed liquid phase into a selected immiscible solvent phase based on its distribution coefficient between the two phases. By operating in counter-current mode, where the feed and solvent streams flow in opposing directions through the contactor, K-JHIL
Scientific's systems maximise the mass transfer driving force across each stage, achieving high solute recovery rates with reduced solvent consumption compared to co-current or batch extraction approaches.

The engineering design of K-JHIL Scientific's extraction systems focuses on three critical performance parameters. First, the contactor geometry is optimised to maximise interfacial area between the two immiscible phases, which directly determines the rate and efficiency of mass transfer. Second, the settling zone
design uses coalescing media to ensure complete and clean phase disengagement between the extract and raffinate, preventing entrainment that would reduce product purity. Third, the system operates at near-ambient temperatures, eliminating the energy costs and thermal degradation risks associated with distillation- based separation of the same compounds.

Construction materials are selected based on the specific solvent system and process chemistry involved. Stainless steel, glass- lined steel, PTFE-lined equipment, and specialty corrosion- resistant alloys are available to match the chemical compatibility requirements of pharmaceutical, metallurgical, and industrial extraction applications.

K-JHIL Scientific supplies liquid-liquid extraction systems in laboratory, pilot, and industrial configurations. The laboratory unit supports research and solvent selection studies. The pilot scale system with PLC automation supports scale-up validation and clinical batch production. The industrial plant configuration
supports continuous production with full automation, integrated solvent recovery, and advanced process control.

Application sectors include pharmaceutical API isolation and purification, fine chemical and specialty intermediate separation, solvent recovery and recycling from process streams, hydrometallurgical recovery of copper, uranium, lithium, and rare earth elements, and wastewater treatment for phenol, oil, and heavy metal removal.

Customisation is available for feed composition, target compound, solvent system, flow rates, and purity requirements from laboratory through industrial scale.
