Useful data for liquid‐liquid extraction were obtained by countercurrent fractionation of Chilean anchovy oil in an extraction column. Furfural was used as the extracting solvent while the oil was dissolved in petroleum naphtha. The data obtained by varying the velocity of agitation, the feed rate, the furfural oil ratio and the naphtha oil ratio are adequate for the design and operation of an extraction system.
