Extraktionsverfahren mit zwei nicht oder nur begrenzt miteinander mischbaren fluessigen Phasen und Verwendung von poroesen offenporigen Koerpern in diesem Verfahren

The description refers to a liquid/liquid extraction process which is in particular suitable for the separation and enrichment of microbial metabolic products from aqueous phases by means of organic phases. The process according to the invention is characterized by the fact that one of the two phases, preferably the extraction means, is bound to suitable carriers, preferably open-pored porous sintered glass compact, by means of a known extraction process. The connected phase is located in the pores such that the mass transfer takes place at the pore openings on the surface of the carrier when the two phases are mixed. A fast and clean phase separation on completion of the intermixture phase is simply obtained in systems which tend to form stable emulsions, so that the non-bound phase is removed from the carrier loaded with the bound phase
