We have explored microfluidic solvent extraction as a tool for high-throughput mineral separation. The microfluidic extraction efficiency for chromium, compared with bulk extraction, is shown for a range of concentrations and extraction (or contact) times. We also demonstrate selectivity for chromium from a model chromite leach solution and discuss throughput considerations.
