    Understand: Purify by liquid–liquid extraction

    Understand the transfer of a metal between aqueous phase and organic phase.

    SX brings two poorly miscible liquid phases into contact. An extractant promotes the selective transfer of a metal to the organic; the phases are then separated by decantation.
