- During solvent extraction, if the solute is found to be less soluble in organic phase, then continuous extraction method is employed.
- In this method, the same amount of organic solvent is used repeatedly for extraction.
- This ensures that the most of the solute gets extracted in the organic phase.
- This technique involves continuous distillation of the solvent within the same assembly. Hence, the use of large quantity of organic solvent is avoided.
