Abstract
A novel constant interfacial cell with laminar flow is proposed as an approach to obtain extraction kinetics data in liquid–liquid systems. Applications and theoretical fundamentals of the apparatus have been elaborated. The equation which can express the mass transfer of liquid–liquid system run in the constant interfacial cell with laminar flow is deduced. Simulations from the equations indicate that diffusivity is a suitable factor to represent the characteristics of extraction kinetics rather than the extraction rate in the diffusion controlling step. The dependence of the aqueous phase concentration on time is recommended to determine the extraction regime. The diffusivities of the EuCl 3–HDEHP extraction system obtained by different methods are compared to certify the hydrodynamic theory of the cell. The diffusivities of the ErCl 3–HEH/EHP extraction system are determined, which show that this technique is a convenient method to obtain the diffusivities in the liquid–liquid system and to determine the extraction regime.
