Abstract

In the framework of the DIAMEX separation process, the kinetics of extraction of Eu(III) ion by two diamides, DMDBTDMA and DMDOHEMA, have been studied using the rotating membrane cell technique. The kinetics with DMDBTDMA from a nitric acid solution were found to be very fast, in keeping with a previous work using the Nitsch cell, and in disagreement with another work using a Lewis-type cell. A simple model for turbulent transport in the latter cell is proposed to interpret this result. The extraction kinetics with DMDOHEMA was found to be slower than with DMDBTDMA at 22°C. The activation energy of the interfacial reaction was deduced from experiments at 11°C, 22°C, and 33°C. The activation energy of the distribution ratio is shown to have a particular effect on that of the overall kinetic rate constant in the general case.
