Abstract:

The extraction of lanthanum to a W/O microemulsion by the sodium oleate/pentanol/heptane/NaCl microemulsion system was studied. The influence of extraction time, aqueous-microemulsion ratio, concentration of NaOL, concentration of cosurfactant, pH and salting-out agent on the extraction rate was investigated. The microemulsion system showed strong extractability and stability without extractant. The extraction rate(E%) can be more than 99.5% when the mass fraction of NaOL and pentanol are 6% and 32%, respectively, R=7 and pH 3.5~7.
