Solid-liquid Extraction _verified_ Direct

The dissolved solute diffuses back through the internal pore infrastructure of the solid matrix toward the outer particle surface. This step is typically governed by Fick's laws of diffusion:

A higher ratio increases the driving force for mass transfer, yielding a higher recovery per batch. But wasteful solvent use demands more energy for later recovery (via evaporation or distillation). Optimizing this ratio is an economic necessity. solid-liquid extraction

The first step involves the solvent coming into contact with the solid surface. The solvent must wet the surface of the solid effectively to penetrate the pores. Hydrophobic solids may resist wetting by aqueous (water-based) solvents, requiring surface-active agents or pre-treatment. The dissolved solute diffuses back through the internal
