Abstract

The present work is focused on the effect of temperature on extraction of gallic acid using Aliquat 336, tri-n-butyl phosphate and tri-n-octylamine in hexanol and octanol. Distribution coefficient, loading ratio, percent extraction, equilibrium complexation constant, water coextraction, enthalpy, and entropy change were evaluated for various acid–extractant–diluent combinations with varying temperature. The extraction of GA was found to be highly exothermic at lower molality of TBP in octanol with evaluated enthalpy change as −28 743 J/mol. The extraction of gallic acid process was favored at low temperature as the process was evaluated as an exothermic in nature. Maximum extraction efficiency of 97.3% was observed at higher molality of Aliquat 336 in hexanol at lower temperature.
