The enantioselective liquid–liquid extraction of 4‐nitro‐D,L‐phenylalanine (D,L‐Nphy) using PdCl 2 {(s)‐BINAP} as extractant in dichloroethane was studied experimentally in a countercurrent cascade of 10 centrifugal contactor separators (CCSs) at 5°C, involving flow ratio, extractant concentration, and Cl − concentration. The steady‐state enantiomeric excess ( ee ) in both stream exits was 90.86% at a 93.29% yield. The predicted value was modeled using an equilibrium stage approach. The correlation between model and experiment was satisfactory. The model was applied to optimize the production of both enantiomers in >97% ee and >99% ee . 14 stages and 16 stages are required for 97% ee and 99% ee for both enantiomers, respectively.
