English term

Rich caustic

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng
When the rich caustic contains sulfides, either free H2S in the hydrocarbon or caustic carryover is present from the prewash.

No encuentro nada para el "rich". Se dice cáustico rico? Hidróxido de sodio rico? o "enriquecido"?

Gracias!

Ácido o cáustico regenerado (lean).

The regenerated (lean) caustic is then recirculated to the extraction column. 
(...)
which generates a “spent” or so called “rich caustic” solution that is saturated with mercaptide

Veronica Tolosa (asker) Jun 20, 2019:
Tengo la "rich" caustic, y la "lean" caustic, depende el momento del filtrado. Si la rich es "gastada" (y en contexto es previo al filtrado / agitado) que pasa con la "lean"?
Gracias
