Liquid liquid extraction experiment. Using Benzoic Acid to get crude phenanthrene then recrystallized phenanthrene

I did an experiment where I used C6H5COOH + NaOH (aq) C6H5COO-Na+ + H2O. Then used the organic layer and dried it to get my crude phenanthrene. Then went back to the first part and made it acidic by adding HCl. Then vacuum filtered it after crystal masses formed to give me my Benzoic Acid. Then I used my crude phenanthrene dissolved it in ethanol and added some H2O until it went cloudy. This recrystallized to give me recrystallized phenanthrene.

What would be my equation of the Extraction Done, and Equation of Product Regeneration?

First I made: Crude Phenanthrene, then Benzoic Acid, then Recrystallized phenanthrene.

I know, this would be my first eqution: C6H5COOH + NaOH (aq) C6H5COO-Na+ + H2O

But what are the other two?

*****PLEASE PROVIDE ANSWER IN CHEMICAL EQUATION**** like the one I provided above^^^^ NOT drawn molecules

Would this be correct?? C6H5COOH + NaOH (aq) ----->C6H5COO-Na+ + H2O C14H10 + C2H5OH + C6H5COOH + H2O ------>C14H10
