We are trying to extract Lactic acid (LA) from fermentation broth. During the screening of various diluents for LA extraction using Tributyl phosphate (TBP) as the base case, we are observing an substantial increase in the volume of the aqueous layer especially with Chloroform is used as Diluent. What could be the reason for the increased volume?
