  "term": "Solvent extraction",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A method for separating components of a mixture based on their differential solubilities between two immiscible liquid phases. A solute transfers from one liquid phase to another, typically an aqueous phase to an organic phase. This technique is widely used in chemical analysis and industrial processes.",
