ABSTRACT

The principle of solvent extraction utilizes the difference in the solubility of molecules and ions in the aqueous phase and organic phase.1 However, in the case where any solute molecules are hard to be solubilized to both bulk phases, the molecules tend to adsorb at the interface. Such interfacial adsorption can
