Abstract
The removal of cadmium from phosphoric acid was carried out using the solvent extraction process, taking into account factors such as pH, concentration of the extracting agent [EA], organic phase/aqueous phase (O/A) ratio, stirring time and stirring rate. In order to study the effect of these involved factors and their interactions on the extraction percentage of cadmium, a composite central design (CCD) of 24 experiments was adopted. An empirical model was developed and validated by applying ANOVA analysis. The graphical representation of this model in the variable space allowed to determine the optimal conditions of these factors. The extraction of cadmium from phosphoric acid reached a percentage of the order of 98%, under the following conditions: pH = 3, [EA] = 10-2 M, O/A = 1.1, stirring time 90 min, stirring rate 800 rpm.
