Abstract
Reactive extraction of malic acid was studied at 298 K. Experimental data on extraction of malic acid by Amberlite LA-2 dissolved in five different esters (dimethyl phthalate, dimethyl adipate, dimethyl succinate, dimethyl glutarate, diethyl carbonate), five different alcohols (isoamyl alcohol, hexan-1-ol, octan-1-ol, nonan-1-ol, decan-1-ol) and two different ketones (diisobutyl ketone (DIBK), methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK)) were reported as distribution coefficients ( K D ), loading factors ( T T ), stoichiometric loading factors ( T S ), separation factors ( S f ) and extraction efficiencies ( E). Isoamyl alcohol was found to be the most effective diluent with a maximum distribution value ( K D ) of 83.807. The LSER model was found to correlate the experimental data satisfactorily.
