Abstract
Different organic solvents were investigated, separately or in mixture for example methanol, ethanol, butanol, hexanol, octanol, TEP,D2EHPA, TBP,TOPO and a mixture of TBP plus butanol. Among these solvents, TBP plus butanol proved to be the most efficient solvents mixture. The effect of organic/aqueous phase ratio, temperature, shaking time, settling time and phosphoric acid concentration were studied. Scrubbing of the loaded organic acid was done using 4.2M pure phosphoric acid at an O/A phase ratio of 1:1 while stripping of H3PO4 was performed using distilled water of an O/A phase ratio of 3:1 in one stage. The final recovery of the process is 97.8%.
