Abstract: The extraction kinetics of Er3+ by bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) phosphinic acid(HBTMPP) has been investigated using a novel constant interfacial area cell with laminar flow. The effects of concentration of Er(Ⅲ), pH, ion strength of aqueous phase and HBTMPP in organic phase on the extraction rate were studied. The influences of temperature, interfacial area on extraction kinetics were also discussed. The experimental results indicated that the extraction process might be governed by a mixed mechanism of diffusion and chemical reaction.

Key words: bis(trimethylpentyl)phosphinic acid, erbium ion, extraction kinetics, constant interfacial area cell
