A review is presented of the application of solvent extraction to the treatment of waste waters. Methods of extraction, solute‐solvent separation and water — solvent separation are described. Phenol removal, oily water treatment, desalination, metal recovery by “liquid ion exchange” and miscellaneous other applications are described/ Available economic data are discussed. Possible future applications are outlined and it is suggested that greatest potential is in the treatment of oily waste water and of relatively concentrated streams containing valuable or noxious materials
