Effect of pH on the Extraction Characteristics of Succinic Acid and the Stability of Colloidal Liquid Aphrons
Predispersed solvent extraction (PDSE) by colloidal liquid aphrons (CLAs) was used for the extraction of succinic acid from aqueous solution. The loading values for succinic acid in PDSE by CLAs increased with increasing pH values in aqueous phase. This was due to increasing of the concentration of the undissociated succinic acid. The extractability of PDSE was higher than that of conventional contacting type extraction because of the interaction between factant and acid molecule. The stability of CLAs increased with increasing of the pH values in aqueous phase and decreasing of trioctylamine (TOA) concentration in organic phase. However, the structure of CLAs was stable at all the pH range except very low pH condition.
