Preferred Label : diluent;
Detailed label : diluent in solvent extraction;
IUPAC definition : The liquid or homogeneous mixture of liquids in which extractant(s) and possible modifier(s)
may be dissolved to form the solvent phase.;
Scope note : the diluent by itself does not extract the main (extractable) solute appreciably.; although the diluent may well be a single liquid or even the major portion of the
extracting phase, the term solvent should not be used in this sense as it has a much
wider meaning in the context of liquid-liquid extraction, although the term cosolvent
may be used in certain circumstances.; the term carrier, which implies an inert diluent is not recommended.;
