## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing solid-liquid extraction (leaching) processes. It models the kinetics and equilibrium required to optimize solvent use and extraction time. Use `calculate_extraction_time` to determine batch durations, `estimate_solvent_requirement` to calculate necessary liquid volumes, `design_multi_stage_process` to plan multi-step extractions, and `analyze_diffusion_efficiency` to evaluate mass transfer based on particle size and viscosity.

## Tools

### estimate_solvent_requirement
Calculates the volume of solvent needed to reach a target solute concentration in the liquid phase

### analyze_diffusion_efficiency
Evaluates how particle size and diffusion coefficients affect the extraction speed

### calculate_extraction_time
Determines how long a single-stage batch extraction must run to reach a specific target recovery

### design_multi_stage_process
Determines the number of extraction stages required to meet a recovery target

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How long will it take to reach 90% recovery for a solid with a particle size of 0.5mm?
```

**Response:** 
```
The extraction time required to reach 90% recovery with a 0.5mm particle size is 45 minutes.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much solvent do I need for 100kg of solid containing 20kg of solute at a target concentration of 5%?
```

**Response:** 
```
You will need 400 liters of solvent to achieve a 5% concentration for 20kg of solute.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the efficiency score for a particle size of 0.2mm and a diffusion coefficient of 1.5e-9.
```

**Response:** 
```
The efficiency score for these parameters is 0.85.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does particle size affect extraction?**
Smaller particle sizes increase the surface-area-to-volume ratio, which accelerates the extraction rate by reducing diffusion paths.

**Can I design a multi-stage process?**
Yes, you can use `design_multi_stage_process` to determine the number of stages needed to reach a specific recovery target.

**What determines the solvent volume needed?**
The required volume is determined by the mass of the solute, the target concentration in the liquid, and the solubility limit of the solvent.
