An effective emulsion liquid membrane system with P507 as carrier, Span-80 as surfactant and H2SO4 as internal aqueous phase was established to treat Ni(Ⅱ)-containing wastewater. The effects of volume fraction of Span-80 in the oil phase(φ(Span-80)), emulsifying stirring speed(ν1), separation stirring speed(ν2), volume fraction of P507(φ(P507)), volume ratio of oil phase to internal phase(Roi), milk phase to water phase(Rew) and concentration of H2SO4 in internal aqueous phase on Ni(Ⅱ) migrating rate have been investigated in the course of migrating of nickel ions in the system. The optimal operation conditions were determined to be: φ(Span-80)=8.5%,ν1 =3600 r·min-1,ν2 =320 r·min-1, φ(P507)=6.5%, Roi =1:1, Rew =2:5 and c(H2SO4)=1.6 mol·L-1 ,under which the migrating rate of nickel ions reached above 97%.

Ionic liquids-based aqueous two-phase extraction (ILs-ATPE) offers an alternative approach to the extraction of tetracycline (TC) through their partitioning between two phases. Single-stage and multi-stage strategies have been evaluated and compared for the purification of TC using ATPE composed of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium halide ([Bmim]X(X=Cl,Br)) and K2HPO4. The influence factors on single-stage extraction behavior of TC were optimized systematically, including the pH value, tie line length, and volume ratio. The optimal extraction efficiency of TC could reach above 95% when the volume ratio is higher than 1.5 and the tie line length is 30.52%. The multi-stage ATPE was also investigated by simulating a three-stage crosscurrent operation in test tubes. According to the TC isotherm curve and respective McCabe?Thiele diagrams, a predicted optimized scheme of the countercurrent multi-stage ATPE was determined. TC can be purified in the IL-rich top phase with a final extraction efficiency of 99% and a final TC concentration of 0.25 mg/mL, if a three- -stage [Bmim]Cl-K2HPO4 ATPE with volume ratio of 0.5 and tie line length of 30.52% was employed. Thus, the multi-stage extraction with small volume ratio is necessary to achieve a higher recovery yield, resulting in the reduction of the IL consumption.

Abstract The present work shows a ceramics microfluidic device for partial solvent extraction scheme. The technology used for device fabrication was Low Temperature Cofired Ceramics (LTCC) which allows us for complex and chemical resistant 3D microfluidic devices. The proposed system aims to partially extract the solvent present in a mixture containing aqueous and organic phases. This scheme uses a 3D flow focalization in order to improve the solvent diffusion into the external aqueous phase. The device is composed by three different parts, the input channels distribution, the main channel and the output channels distribution. The designed input channels distribution ensures a centered 3D focalized solvent stream along the main channel. The focalized solvent mixes with the surrounding water thanks to diffusion. Projected output channels take the central fluid out separately from the surrounding. Thus the device has two different outputs, one for the focalized fluid and another one for the waste fluid, which is the aqueous phase plus solvent. For a device concept proof, acetone and water were used as organic and aqueous phases, respectively. COMSOL Multiphysics was used for device microfluidics and chemical transport simulation. The extraction efficiency was the variable used as indicator for device performance validation. The flow rate ratio between phases, total flow rate, main channel length and focalized stream channel output hydraulic diameter (ODH) were used as process variables for simulation purposes. A factorial experimental planning was used in order to analyze the extraction efficiency taking into account process variables effects. From simulation results it was determined main channel length and ODH as the variables with stronger effect on extraction efficiency. Obtained simulated efficiencies were as high as 80.6%. Considering previous results observations a microfluidic device was fabricated with a main channel length of 21,4 mm and ODH of 214,63 μm. Gas chromatography was used to measured acetone concentration in outputs samples and from here the extraction efficiency. Experimental results were in agreement with simulation, returning extraction efficiencies in the order of 80.8% ± 2.2%.

The extraction of uranium from aqueous model solutions, as well as from real solutions reulting from leaching uranium ores was carried out in the system equipped with the Liqui-Cel® Extra-Flow membrane contactor with polypropylene capillary membranes. D2EHPA in toluene was used as an organic phase. Different arrangements of flow inside the membrane module were tested. The better approach appeared to be the arrangement with aqueous phase in the shell side of the contactor and organic phase inside the capillary membrane. The extraction efficiency for model solutions reached 95% and 87% for real post-leaching liquors.

AbstractEnantioselective extraction of hydrophilic 2-chloromandelic acid (CMA) enantiomers from organic to aqueous phase with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) as the selector was investigated. Equilibrium of the extraction system was modeled using a reactive extraction model with a homogeneous aqueous phase reaction. The influence of important process variables on the extraction efficiency, such as the type of the organic solvent and β-cyclodextrin derivatives (β-CDs), concentration of the selector, pH and temperature, was investigated by experiment and modeling. Important parameters of this model were determined experimentally. Results showed that the experimental data agree with the model prediction perfectly and the model was further applied to accurately predict the extraction efficiency influenced simultaneously by pH and the concentration of HP-β-CD. Combining the experiment and the model data, the best extraction conditions were: pH of 2.5, HP-β-CD concentration of 0.05 mol L−1, and temperature of 5°C, providing the enantioselectivity of 1.285 and the performance factor (pf) of 0.011.

A study has been carried out on Ta and Nb recovery by liquid-liquid extraction process using 4-methylacetophenone (4-MAcPh) as organic phase. The 4-MAcPh was compared to methylisobutylketone (MIBK) with respect to extraction efficiencies (kD values) at different concentrations of H2SO4 in the aqueous phase. The results showed a similar extraction of Nb for both solvents. However, for Ta extraction efficiency is increased by a factor of 1.3 for 4-MAcPh. In addition, the MIBK solubilized completely after 6 mol L-1 of H2SO4 against only a loss of 0.14 to 4% for 4-MAcPh between 6 and 9 mol L-1 of H2SO4. The potential of 4-MAcPh has also been studied to selectively recover Ta from a model capacitor waste solution. The results showed a selectivity for Ta in the presence of impurities such as Fe, Ni, Mn. The 4-MAcPh also presents the advantage of having physicochemical properties adapted to its use in liquid-liquid extraction technologies such as mixer-settlers.

Water-soluble oxa-diamide ligand, N,N,N′,N′-tetra-methyl-3-oxy-pentane-1,5-diamid (TMPDA) has been synthesized and purified. Its crystal structure, melting point, decomposition temperature, solubilities in aqueous phase and organic phase, distribution ratio between aqueous and organic phase, etc. are reported. The effect of TMPDA concentration in aqueous phase and HNO3 concentration in the equilibrium aqueous phase on the extraction efficiency of La(III), Ce(III), Pr(III), Nd(III), Zr(IV), Fe(III), Y(III), Mo(VI), Ru(III) and Pd(II) by 30% TRPO/kerosene have been studied. The results indicate that TMPDA dissolve well in aqueous phase but almost insoluble in kerosene or 30%TRPO/kerosene in the bi-phase system. It can effectively reduce the extraction of Ln(III), Y(III) and Zr(IV) into 30%TRPO/kerosene at a moderate acid system (0.24mol/L∼0.27mol/L HNO3). TMPDA is a promising stripping agent for Ln(III), Y(III) and Zr(IV) from loaded TRPO.

Abstract Emulsions prepared using different surfactants, including Span-80, BKC and CTAB, are studied for their stability and phenol remsoval efficiency. The effect of contacting pattern on ELM extraction efficiency is compared in Beaker – Stirrer apparatus and Bubble Flow Recirculation column. The emulsion prepared using Span-80 is relatively more stable than emulsions prepared using other surfactants. The emulsion stability during the extraction process is relatively higher in the Bubble Flow Recirculation column (15 min) than in the Beaker – Stirrer apparatus (10 min). At optimized conditions, the phenol removal efficiency of the emulsion prepared using Span-80 in Beaker – Stirrer apparatus is 96% and in Bubble Flow Recirculation column is 78%. Kinetic studies reveal that the extraction follows zeroth-order kinetics with an average phenol effective diffusivity of 0.0004 s at an initial phenol concentration ranging from 100–500 PPM.
