If it was the solvent, it carries the solute out of the column with it. If it was carrying the solute, it is now solute-free.

Whether it had started out as a dispersed or continuous phase, it exists as a continuous phase. Heavy Phase Outlet: The heavy phase exits out the bottom of the extractor.Whether it had started out as a dispersed or continuous phase, it is now a continuous phase.

Light Phase Outlet: The light phase exits out the top of the extractor.This phase will have the opposite characteristic of the heavy phase in terms of dispersion vs continuous and solvent vs solute carrier. Light Phase Inlet: With a lower density, the light phase will rise to the top of the extractor.Likewise, it could be the solute carrier or the solvent. Depending on the design of the extractor it could be the dispersed phase or the continuous phase. Heavy Phase Inlet: The higher density, or heavy, the phase will fall to the bottom of the extractor.
