  "term": "Liquid ion exchange",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definitions": [
    "A process involving the reversible exchange of ions between an aqueous phase and an immiscible organic phase containing an ion-exchange reagent. This technique is widely used for the separation and concentration of metal ions. The efficiency of the exchange depends on the selectivity of the extractant for specific ions.",
    "A separation process where ions are exchanged between an aqueous phase and an immiscible organic phase containing an ion-exchange reagent. This technique is employed for the selective extraction and concentration of specific ionic species from complex mixtures. The distribution ratio of an ion between the two phases is a key parameter."
