Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling was used to study solid-liquid extraction applied to Robinia pseudoacacia. Experimental and simulation studies on maceration and continuous flow extractions were performed at various solid-solvent ratios and flow rates. To validate the CFD modeling results, parameters such as diffusivity or diffusion coefficient and kinetic parameter of the extracts were estimated from experimental kinetic data. A good agreement was found between the CFD model and the experimental data. The mass diffusivity of the extracts in the liquid phase was 1.7 × 10-7 m2/s (R2 = 0.985) and 1.8 × 10-7 m2/s (R2 = 0.992) for dihydrorobinetin (DHR) and robinetin (Rob). Moreover, the phase change coefficient was 1.2 × 10-4 and 1.6 × 10-4 1/s for DHR and Rob, respectively. In addition, static maceration was combined with continuous flow extraction. The optimal condition was 213 min of static maceration followed by a flow of 1 mL/min for 465 min to obtain yields of 45.18 and 6.64 mg/g DHR and Rob, respectively.
