In most of the mechanically agitated liquid-liquid extractors, baffles or horizontal compartmental plates are provided, which helps in_________________?

Correct answer: A. All A , B & C.

  • A. All A , B & C.
  • B. Increasing the rate of extraction
  • C. Maintaining the concentration difference between the two phases
  • D. Reducing the axial mixing

Explanation

Baffles and horizontal plates suppress axial mixing, promote repeated contact between the phases, and help preserve the concentration driving force. Thus, all three listed effects are intended, making the combined option correct.
