Description
Return one-stage liquid partition concentrations.
A process stream can be described on mass, mole, phase or solvent bases, which are not interchangeable. Lever rules, partition factors and operating-line terms assume compatible composition definitions and an appropriate physical model; a local balance does not determine equilibrium properties or a complete separation design.
Return one-stage liquid partition concentrations.
When to use this tool
Use Liquid Liquid Partition One Stage Term when checking the stated stream composition, phase or separation-model term.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter soluteAmount, aqueousVolume, organicVolume, distributionRatio. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read aqueousConcentration, organicConcentration, extractedFraction. Use the output convention below.
Return one-stage liquid partition concentrations. Require nonnegative soluteAmount/organicVolume/distributionRatio and aqueousVolume > 0; Caq = amount/(Vaq+D*Vorg), Corg = D*Caq, extractedFraction = D*Vorg/(Vaq+D*Vorg).1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| soluteAmount | Solute Amount | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| aqueousVolume | Aqueous Volume | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| organicVolume | Organic Volume | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| distributionRatio | Positive equilibrium organic/aqueous concentration ratio, on compatible concentration bases. | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| aqueousConcentration | Aqueous Concentration | Required. Finite number. |
| organicConcentration | Organic Concentration | Required. Finite number. |
| extractedFraction | Extracted Fraction | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- D is Corganic/Caqueous; this assumes compatible volumes, equilibrium, constant D and no volume change or chemical reaction.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use verified equilibrium and material-property data on consistent bases and solve the complete process model for actual separation or equipment decisions.
