In order to remove a desired solute constituent from a solid phase, leaching with a liquid solvent is used. A device is used to bring the solvent into contact with the solid. Thus, the solute is dissolved in the solvent and separated from the solid. When the solvent is water and the solute is an undesirable component to be removed from the solid, the operation is called washing.
