CL-10 complexing agent can separate the degraded organic phases in the extraction system, prevent these degradants to degrad the normal organic phase again, effectively reduce the viscosity of the organic phase, and recover the phase separation time to regular situation.

CL-10 complexing agent for copper extraction system
The CL-10 complexing agent plays a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency of extraction processes, particularly in systems where the organic phase may be compromised by the presence of degraded materials. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its functions and benefits:
- Separation of Degraded Organic Phases: The presence of degraded organic materials can interfere with the performance of extraction system. CL-10 helps to complex with these degraded species, effectively take them out from the main organic phase.
- Prevention of Further Degradation: By complexing the degradation products, CL-10 prevents these materials from interacting with and degrading the normal organic phase.
- Viscosity Reduction: CL-10 effectively reduces this viscosity of organic phase. Lower viscosity can lead to enhanced mass transfer and reaction rates, improving the overall efficiency of the extraction process.
- Recovery of Phase Separation: By mitigating issues caused by degraded organic materials, CL-10 complexing agent ensures that the organic and aqueous phases separate clearly and quickly, which is essential for optimizing the extraction workflow.

How to use CL-10 complexing agent?
At beginning the phase separation is very difficult, even very long time, only separate a little (look at left picture).
When we put CL-10 complexing agent inside then mix them, the system will become to organic phase, aqueous phase and degraded organic clearly (look at the right picture).

Then take out the degraded phase, look at the picture as blow:

The system was recovered to normal situation, phase sepatation very fast and clear:

Overall, CL-10 complexing agent can improve separation processes, maintain the stability of organic phases, enhance operational efficiency, and promote effective recovery processes. It is an important agent for extraction system usage.
