Abstract

Abstract Extraction and stripping equilibrium of phenol, p-cresol, and p-chlorophenol were studied with an organic solution containing a newly synthesized surfactant and an aqueous alkaline solution as a stripping phase. A cationic surfactant showed the highest extraction ratio of phenol among several surfactants used in this study. The magnitude of phenol extracted from water was in the order phenol < p- chlorophenol < p-cresol. The stripping of phenol extracted in the organic solution was quantitatively accomplished with an alkaline solution of high concentration except for the case of cationic surfactants. Extraction of phenol and its derivatives by liquid surfactant membranes containing a newly synthesized surfactant as an emulsifier was carried out in a stirred cell. The effects of various parameters (such as a surfactant and alkaline concentration, the kind of surfactant, and the alkali composition) on the extraction efficiency of phenol were examined along with demulsification of W/O emulsions.
