Abstract
The extraction kinetics of lanthanum (III) from a chloride medium by bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate(HDEHP) and dimethylheptyl methyl phosphate(P350) in the presence of sulfonated kerosene are investigated using a Lewis cell. The effects of the stirring rate, temperature, and specific interfacial area on the extraction rate are investigated. The results show that the extraction process is controlled by diffusion and chemical reactions in the interfacial area rather than in the bulk phase. The apparent activation energy and the changes in the enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy of the extraction reaction are calculated using the Arrhenius equation and transition state theory. The rate equation derived from the experimental results is similar to that of the interface reaction model. A mass transfer model with a rate-control step is proposed. This study provides guidance and data support for an HDEHP-P350 system in industrial production applications.
