Recovery of Propionic Acid from Aqueous Phase using Alamine 336 in 1 - Octanol by Reactive Extraction
Main Article Content
Abstract
The by-products of carboxylic acids are useful in chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, preservations, drug delivery towards a more economical energy efficient technology. Physical and chemical equilibria results are presented as equilibrium distribution, distribution co -efficient, extraction efficiency, loading ratio and volume percentage by varying concentrations. The distribution of propionic acid between aqueous phase and organic phase reaches equilibrium over a concentration range of 0.009 kmol/m3 – 0.055 kmol/m3. The optimum TOA concentration is found to be 40% at which KD value for 1 - octanol is 16.7. The modified separation increases with decrease in TOA & acid concentration and alamine loading with acid Z decreases with increase in alamine concentration in 1 – octanol. Optimum extraction efficiency is 43.82% for a conc. of 40% TOA at 0.2 kmol/m3
