  1. (in solvent extration) The process of selectively removing contaminating solutes (impurities) from an extract that contains these as well as the main extractable solute by treatment with a new immiscible liquid phase. The term @S06054@ has a different meaning and should not be used in this sense although this usage has been customary in certain industries.
