Air Sparge Batch Contactor for Solvent Extraction Processing of Mixed Actinide Residues

Application of solvent extraction for the removal of amoxicillin drug residues in environmental waters

In this study, extraction of amoxicillin (AMOX) ions from aqueous solution by liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) was investigated. The LLE process by response surface methodology (RSM) was carried out based on central composite design (CCD). The organic phase consisted of extractant and toluene as diluent. In this process, triethylamine (TEA), di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid and mono-2-ethylhexyl p...

Optimization of batch to continuous transposition: solid-liquid extraction from plant in an industrial contactor

Solid-liquid extraction is carried out from vegetable substrates in industrial continuous counter-current extractor. A batch study was conducted to obtain the extraction kinetic and the bulk phase saturation. An extraction model is proposed and compared with experimental data. This model is based on the general diffusion model including a shape factor of solid particle. A methodology for the ba...

Solvent extraction in the primary and secondary processing of zinc

The traditional roast-leach-electrowin(RLE) zinc production route was developed for the processing of sulphide ores. It can prove inefficient for some complex sulphides and is not readily applicable to the treatment of other ore types. Inherent to this route is the generation of SO2 gas that has to be fixed for environmental reasons, usually resulting in the production of sulphuric acid. These ...

Ultrasound treatment acceleration of solvent extraction for fumigant residues from wheat.

Concerns about consumer and worker safety and the fate of fumigants have fuelled strong efforts to determine their residues in foodstuffs. Fumigants are usually extracted from commodities with solvent at room temperature (25 degrees C). In this paper, solvent extraction of methyl bromide, phosphine, carbonyl sulfide, and carbon disulfide using ultrasonic acceleration or heating was evaluated. W...
