Here, an efficient shortcut method will be presented, which is time and resource‐efficient as well as cost‐effective to determine the operational window of these columns for industrial separation tasks. Savings in time of less experiments and costs of materials consumption can be estimated with up to 30 %. The presented method is particularly suitable before the application of new chemical systems, which are particularly cost‐intensive and scarce in material supply.enChemie Ingenieur Technik;Vol. 93. 2021, Issue 3, pp 466-472https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Flooding point determinationLiquid-liquid extractionShortcut design methodSmall-scale extraction columnStirred-pulsed extraction column660article (journal)
