With increase in temperature, the rate of extraction in leaching (solid-liquid extraction system) ?
Correct answer: A. Increases
- A. Increases
- B. Decreases
- C. Remain unaffected
- D. Increases Linearly
Explanation
Increasing temperature usually improves leaching by increasing solute solubility and molecular diffusivity while reducing liquid viscosity. These effects generally increase the extraction rate, although the exact response need not be linear.
