The particle extraction process comprises several advantages such as a minimum amount of stabilizing surfactant, no exposure of the particles to a gas atmosphere and with it the avoidance of sintering by capillary forces and a high particle concentration in the receiving phase as well. The study presents experimental results of the characterization of the process environment and the transfer behavior in a drop column. The solution of surfactant in the continuous phase has been investigated during a particle-free phase transfer experiment including the measurements of the total organic carbon (TOC) content and analysis of the size of the stabilized droplets using the laser diffraction spectroscopy. The determination of the transfer fluxes, the mass flows as well as the yield of transferred magnetite by ICP-OES measurements provide information on the impact of interaction of the elementary processes at the phase boundary. Furthermore, the transfer kinetics of the process is described and compared with calculated theoretical values resulting from a kinetic approach.展开更多
The extraction kinetics of Gd（III） from the nitric acid medium using bis（2,4,4-trimethylpentyl） dithio- phosphinic acid （Cyanex301） and 2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid （D2EHPA） in kerosene solution were measured ...The extraction kinetics of Gd（III） from the nitric acid medium using bis（2,4,4-trimethylpentyl） dithio- phosphinic acid （Cyanex301） and 2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid （D2EHPA） in kerosene solution were measured by the single drop technique. The influences of hydrogen ion concentration, gadolinium ion concentration, extractant concentration, column height, and nozzle diameter on the extraction rate were investigated. The forward rate equations for the gadolinium extraction with D2EHPA and Cyanex301 were obtained. Based on the experimental results, the forward extraction rate constant was calculated. With the increase of D2EHPA or Cyanex301 concentration, the drop rising diameter and the value of interfacial tension decrease in the studied system, which shows that D2EHPA or Cyanex301 has interfacial activity as a kind of surfactant. Also, the droplet diameter and interfacial tension decrease with the increase of aqueous solution acidity. The experimental results show that the D2EHPA extractant provides faster extraction rate in comparison with Cyanex301 extractant, and it would be useful in industrial continuous extraction process.展开更多
