The present overview presents a brief survey on the liquid-liquid extraction mechanism of metal chelates and adducts, the different reported reaction models and the most common methods used to follow the kinetics of extraction process are given. The effect of the different phenomena affecting the extraction rate and the importance of the kinetic information in connection with technical processes and counter-current modelling are also discussed.
