Effect of a water-insoluble organic acid on amine extraction of acetic acid from aqueous solutions. Equilibrium studies

The effect of a water-insoluble organic acid, di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (D2EHPA), on the extraction equilibrium of acetic acid from aqueous media with xylene solutions of tri-n-octylamine (TOA) was systematically investigated. In the absence of D2EHPA, the formulation of the extracted species in the organic phase and equilibrium constants for the formation of these species were numerically determined. Synergistic and antagonistic effects on the extraction of acetic acid were observed in the presence of D2EHPA, mainly depending on the concentration of TOA and the concentration ratio of D2EHPA to TOA. Finally, the influence of temperature on the extraction of acetic acid with TOA and/or D2EHPA was investigated.     

Efficacy of tri-n-octylamine,tri-n-butyl phosphate and di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid for reactive separation of protocatechuic acid

ABSTRACT

Owing to its chemical and pharmacological significances, the efficacy of reactive separation of protocatechuic acid (0.001–0.01 kmol m^?3) from aqueous stream by means of tri-n-octylamine (TOA), di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) as well as tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) in octanol has been investigated, in terms of extraction efficiency, loading ratio, equilibrium complexation constants, and distribution coefficients. Extraction ability was obtained in the order TOA (91.2%) > TBP (88.64%) > D2EHPA (86.43%). In all cases, 1:1 protocatechuic acid:extractant complex is obtained. Further, diffusion coefficients, number of stages for extraction systems, and relative basicity model were used for relating the efficacy.     

Synergistic Effect of D2EHPA and Cyanex 272 on Separation of Zinc and Manganese by Solvent Extraction

The effect of bis-2-ethylhexylphosphoric acid (D2EHPA), bis (2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) phosphinic acid (Cyanex 272), and tri-butyl phosphate (TBP) and their mixtures in various proportions for the separation and extraction of zinc and manganese from sulfate solutions were investigated. Experiments were carried out in the pH range of 0.5–5.0 at 25, 40, and 60°C. It was shown that the extraction of zinc and manganese by D2EHPA and/or Cyanex 272 can be increased by the increase in pH and temperature. The synergistic extraction and separation of zinc and manganese with a mixture of D2EHPA and Cyanex 272 was studied and the results showed that mixing the two extractants improved the extraction capacity of the mixture. Increasing the D2EHPA to Cyanex 272 ratio in the organic phase, caused a right shifting of extraction isotherms of manganese and zinc; shifting the manganese curve was more than zinc. The manganese curve had considerable right shifting with 5% D2EHPA and 15% Cyanex 272. TBP did not affect the zinc (Zn) and manganese (Mn) extraction. The stoichiometric coefficients of Zn and Mn were determined with 20% and 5% D2EHPA and 15% Cyanex 272 by applying the slope analysis method. The organic phase was stripped by sulfuric acid.     

Extraction and recovery of rhodamine B,methyl violet and methylene blue from industrial wastewater using D2EHPA as an extractant

The extraction behavior of cationic dyes namely rhodamine B (RB), methyl violet (MV) and methylene blue (MB) from industrial wastewater has been investigated using di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) in hexane as a carrier. The extraction of cationic dyes increases with decreasing feed phase pH and increasing D2EHPA concentration in organic phase. The stripping percentage of dyes using acetic acid as the stripping agent from loaded D2EHPA was found to increase with increasing acid concentration. 98% stripping efficiency of dyes was achieved with 8.5 mol/L acetic acid solution at an organic:aqueous phase ratio (O/A) of 2:1. Parameters examined include D2EHPA concentration, effect of diluents, effect of pH, effect of initial dye concentration, equilibration time, and various stripping agents, aqueous to organic phase ratio in extraction and organic to aqueous phase ratio in stripping.     

二（2-乙基己基）磷酸/磷酸三丁酯复合萃取剂协萃对氨基苯甲酸

为强化两性官能团化合物的萃取分离性能,以对氨基苯甲酸（PABA）为被分离溶质,二（2-乙基己基）磷酸（D2EHPA）/磷酸三丁酯（TBP）/正庚烷的混合物为萃取剂进行了萃取平衡特性的研究,考察了溶液的pH值、D2EHPA浓度、TBP浓度对于萃取平衡的影响,建立了复合萃取剂协同萃取PABA的萃取平衡分配系数的表达式.结果表明,D2EHPA/TBP/正庚烷复合萃取剂萃取PABA具有明显的协萃效应,协萃机理为D2EHPA及TBP分别与PABA的Lewis碱性官能团（—NH2）和Lewis酸性官能团（—COOH）缔合形成亲油性更强的萃合物,且D2EHPA与TBP的浓度差异越小,协萃效应越明显.根据萃取平衡分配系数表达式拟合求取了表观萃取平衡常数,复合萃取剂的值远大于D2EHPA、TBP单独作为萃取剂的值,进一步证明了本文提出的协萃机理.     

Reactive solvent extraction of amino acids with cationic extractants

A mixture of amino acids (arginine, phenylalanine, alanine, glycine and aspartic acid) in solution was extracted by four acidic extractants (dinonylnaphthalenesulphonic acid (DNNSA), di(2-ethylhexyl)monothiophosphoric acid (D2EHPA(S)), di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) and Versatic 10) in toluene. The extractive capacity of the organic phase for the amino acids, using DNNSA, D2EHPA(S) and D2EHPA was found to decrease in the order arginine>phenylalanine>alanine>glycine>aspartic acid, although at low pH values phenylalanine>arginine occurred for D2EHPA(S) and D2EHPA. Separation factors derived for pairs of amino acids were in the range 2·0 (glycine–aspartic acid) to 20·1 (alanine–glycine). The extractive and loading capability of the extractants for the amino acids was found to decrease in the order DNNSA>D2EHPA(S)>D2EHPA>Versatic 10, which follows the reverse order of their respective acid dissociation constants. DNNSA was shown to be a promising extractant for the extraction and fractionation of amino acids. © 1998 SCI     

Extraction and Stripping Behavior of Iron (III) from Phosphoric Acid Medium by D2EHPA Alone and Its Mixtures with TBP/TOPO

In the present study an attempt has been made to understand the extraction and stripping behavior of iron (III) with D2EHPA alone and its mixture with TBP or TOPO in phosphoric acid medium. Effect of variables such as concentrations of iron (III), phosphoric acid, and phosphate in the aqueous phase, D2EHPA, TBP, and TOPO concentrations in the organic phase and temperature on the extraction process has been studied. The extraction of iron (III) decreased with increase in phosphoric acid concentration. The increase in D2EHPA concentration increased the extraction of iron (III). The presence of TOPO or TBP with D2EHPA showed antagonism. The increase in temperature decreased the extraction of iron (III) with D2EHPA alone and its mixture with either TOPO or TBP showing the exothermic nature of the extraction reaction. The stripping of iron (III) by various reagents followed the order: oxalic acid > phosphoric acid > hydrochloric acid > sulphuric acid > mixture of sulphuric and hydrofluoric acids > ascorbic acid > citric acid irrespective of extraction systems. Higher temperature favors the stripping. The effect of diluents on iron (III) extraction has also been studied. The mechanism of extraction has been explained in the light of the results obtained.     

Distribution Behavior of Amino Acid by Extraction with Di(2-ethylhexyl) Phosphoric Acid

Abstract

The distribution equilibrium of l-tryptophan (l-Trp) by extraction with di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) dissolved in n-hexane was studied. The effects of L-Trp and D2EHPA concentrations, pH, and ionic strength, particularly of L-Trp loading in the organic phase, on extraction equilibrium were examined in detail. When the amino acid loading ratio (the molar concentration ratio of the equilibrium amino acid in the organic phase to the initial dimeric D2EHPA) was less than 3 × 10^?3, one L-Trp molecule was extracted by forming a complex with four monomeric D2EHPA molecules, and the extraction equilibrium constant (K _e) was determined to be 0.045 dm³/mol. Above this loading ratio the equilibrium formula did not hold, and the apparent equilibrium constant (K _a) increased significantly with increasing loading ratio. The phenomenon was explained by taking into account two parallel reactions in which fewer D2EHPA molecules, two and one respectively, were needed to extract one l-Trp molecule.     

Synergistic extraction and separation of Fe(III) and Zn(II) using TBP and D2EHPA

Waste chloride pickle liquors from hot-dip galvanizing plants, steel plants and flue dust contain reasonable amounts of heavy metals such as Zn, Cr, Ni, etc. Iron is invariably associated with most of these materials and comes into solution during leaching. Thus, the synergistic extraction of zinc(II) and iron(III) from leach solutions in tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP)–di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) system diluted in kerosene was investigated. The Zn and Fe concentrations in the leach liquor used in the present study were 2 g/L. Experiments were carried out in the pH range of 0.5–4.0, temperature of 25°C, using sole D2EHPA, sole TBP and D2EHPA–TBP mixtures at different ratios. Results showed that the co-extraction of zinc(II) and iron(III) increased with increasing equilibrium pH using D2EHPA. It is demonstrated that the mixtures of TBP and D2EHPA are more efficient and selective than D2EHPA alone. At low pH values, the separation factor is low when pure D2EHPA is used as an extractant; however, using TBP as a synergist, the separation factor increases and results in a better separation of zinc from iron. Increasing TBP to D2EHPA ratios in the organic phase caused a slight shift to the right in the extraction isotherm of iron and a marked shift to the right in the extraction isotherm of zinc, and the maximum separation factor of 13.3 × 10³ was achieved at a TBP to D2EHPA volume ratio of 4:1 (0.58 M TBP: 0.12 M D2EHPA). Furthermore, the effect of equilibrium pH, organic to aqueous phase ratio and Cl^? concentration on the selective extraction was investigated. Using two extraction stages at the O/A ratio of 2:1 and pH_e (equilibrium pH) of 3 and 1 for zinc and iron, respectively, 99% of zinc(II) and 96.25% of iron(III) were extracted.

二（2-乙基已基）磷酸萃取氨基苯甲酸的平衡特性

A series of extraction equilibrium experiments for aminobenzoic acid with di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) dissolved in n-octane or 1-octanol was carried out. The effects of aminobenzoic acid concentration,D2EHPA concentration and pH on the distribution ratio were discussed in detail. The infrared spectra of the organic phase loaded with solute illustrated that pH had little effect on the structure of the complex formed. There proceed ion association and cation-exchange.reaction in the extraction. An expression of the equilibrium distribution was proposed.

Synergic Extraction of Folic Acid with Di(2-ethylhexyl) Phosphoric Acid and Amberlite LA-2

The influences of extractants concentrations and solvent polarity on the efficiency of folic acid separation by synergic extraction with Amberlite LA-2 and di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) mixture have been analyzed. The results indicated the formation of an interfacial compound which includes one molecule of folic acid and one of D2EHPA, the hydrophobicity of this compound being increased by solvation with Amberlite LA-2 molecules. The number of aminic molecules participating in the interfacial complex formation is controlled by solvent polarity and D2EHPA concentration, decreasing from 3 to 1 with the increase of these two parameters. The results indicated that the most important synergic effect corresponds to the extractants mixture dissolved n-heptane, at low D2EHPA concentration in the organic phase (5 g/l).     

Structure of the Extracted Complex in the Ni(II)‐LIX84I System and the Effect of D2EHPA Addition

Abstract

The structure of the Ni(II) complex extracted with the commercial hydroxyoxime, LIX84I, and the effect of adding bis(2‐ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) to LIX84I on the extraction rate and the coordination of Ni(II) were investigated by solvent extraction and XAFS methods. The XANES spectrum and the curve fits of the EXAFS spectrum of the Ni‐LIX84I complex showed that the complex is four‐coordinate square‐planar with a 1:2 stoichiometry. In the Ni(II)–D2EHPA–LIX84I system, the coordination geometry changes from square‐planar to six‐coordinate octahedral with an increase in the D2EHPA concentration. Although the rate of Ni(II) extraction from the model spent electroless nickel plating bath with LIX84I is significantly accelerated by adding a small amount of D2EHPA ([LIX84I]: 0.5 M, [D2EHPA]: 0.05 M), most of the Ni(II) complexes extracted with this organic solution remain square‐planar. This indicates that the increase in the extraction rate does not depend on the change in the coordination structure of the extracted complex.

Extraction of rare earths using mixtures of sec-octylphenoxy acetic acid and organophosphorus acids

The extraction of rare earths from nitrate medium using three organophosphorus acids, 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester (HEHEHP), di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA), bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) phosphinic acid (Cyanex272), and their mixtures with sec-octylphenoxy acetic acid (CA12) has been studied in detail. The mixtures have different extraction effects on various rare earths. Synergistic extraction effects are only found when light rare earths and yttrium (III) are extracted with mixtures of D2EHPA and CA12. The possibilities of separating the rare earths with these mixtures are investigated according to the extractabilities. It is feasible and advantageous to separate yttrium (III) from the lanthanoids (III) with HEHEHP + CA12 and D2EHPA+CA12 mixtures at proper extractant ratios. The separation of yttrium (III) from heavy rare earths is also possible with mixtures of Cyanex272 and CA12.     

EXTRACTION OF METAL IONS WITH DZEHPA FROM MIXED AQUEOUS-ORGANIC MEDIA

Extraction of metal ions from the aqueous-organic solution containing dimethyl formamide(DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO) and acetonitrile(AN) was investigated by using di-2-ethylhexyl-phosphoric acid(D2EHPA) as an extractant. The organic phase was a binary solution of D2EHPA and n-hexane, or D2EHPA and toluene, while the polar phase was a three component solution of metal salt, non-aqueous solvent and water. The extracted metal ions were Cr(III), Fe(III), Al, Cu, Ni, Co(II), Mg and Ag.

The extraction behaviors may be explained by the solvation ability of non-aqueous solvents, the decrease in distribution of the extractant and extract into the organic phase, and the interaction between the extractant and non-aqueous solvents due to the dissolution of non-aqueous solvents in the organic phase.     

采用不同载体的中空纤维更新液膜Cu(Ⅱ)传质的研究(英文)

The extraction ability of organophosphorus extractant D2EHPA (di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid) and hydroximic extractant Lix984N are investigated by the extraction equilibrium experiments. Effects of carrier concentration and organic/aqueous volume ratio on the mass transfer of hollow fiber renewal liquid membrane (HFRLM) are studied. Results show that, in the extracting process, kerosene and n-heptane are more suitable than methyl-isobutyl ketone, butylacetate and benzene as the diluents of D2EHPA or Lix984N. The favorable feed pH is 4.4 for D2EHPA and 2.6 for Lix984N. The mass transfer flux of HFRLM increases with carrier concentration and finally reaches a plateau. The mass transfer flux and the overall transfer coefficient increase with the or-ganic/aqueous volume ratio, reach the maximum and then decrease.     

Enantioselective Extraction of Racemic Mandelic Acid by Di(2‐ethylhexyl) Phosphoric Acid and Tartaric Acid Derivatives as Mixed Complex Chiral Selectors

The distribution behavior of mandelic acid (MA) enantiomers was examined in a two‐phase system containing di(2‐ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) with two tartaric acid derivatives as complex chiral selectors in n‐octanol. Factors affecting the extraction were investigated, including the structure and concentration of tartaric acid as well as the concentration of D2EHPA and D,L‐MA. The results showed that both the distribution ratio and enantioselectivity were greatly improved by using a complex chiral selector rather than using the tartaric acid derivative by itself. Finally, it was found that the formation of mixed complex chiral selectors by mixing two tartaric acid derivatives with D2EHPA can improve the capacity of enantioselective extraction.     

Solvent extraction of copper in a reciprocating plate column

Equilibrium data for the distribution of copper between an aqueous solution and a 20% solution of di-(2 ethyl hexyl) phosphoric acid in kerosene has been obtained by shake-flask experiments. The capacity of the organic phase for copper is greatly improved when the ammonium salt of D2EHPA is used. The performance of a 5 cm diameter Karr reciprocating plate extraction column for continuous counter-current extraction of copper by ammoniated D2EHPA has been measured. The results, expressed as heights of a transfer unit, have been compared with data for a non-metallic system (kerosene/acetic acid/water) in the same column. The lowest H.T.U. values measured were 43 cm for copper transfer and 23 cm for acetic acid transfer, with the difference being attributed mainly to the lower molecular diffusivity in the copper/D2EHPA system.
