Preferred Label : raffinate;
IUPAC definition : The phase remaining after extraction of some specified solute(s). When necessary it
should be further specified, e.g. scrub raffinate. The original meaning of raffinate
as a 'refined product' has become extended and changed by common usage. The term should
normally be applied only to waste streams but the latter may form the feed to a further
extraction process for another solute.;
