1 Introduction

Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) is a process in which a par-ticular solute is removed from a liquid phase (feed phase) byanother liquid phase (solvent or extract phase) Applicationof extraction in life science started in way back to about3500 BC to recover products from various natural resourcesAt a Sumerian text dated 2100 BC production of perfumespharmaceutical oils andwaxes was documented Inmedievalages extraction was performed with ethanol and was appliedin the field of hydrometallurgy by making use of mineralacids [1] With the developments in thermodynamics par-ticularly the distribution law by Nernst in 1891 and design ofan apparatus for extraction significant improvements wereaccomplished in the late 19th century However it was notuntil the early 1930swhen the first large-scale LLEprocesswasin operation Lazar Edeleanu (a Romanian Chemist 1861ndash1941) removed aromatic and sulphur compounds from liquidkerosene by the LLE process using liquid sulphur dioxide asa solvent at temperature as low as minus6 to minus12∘C This yieldedclean kerosene suitable to be used as a fuel for residentiallighting Nowadays besides the extraction of almost allmetals in mining industries and environmental applicationsextractants are widely used in the extraction of organic

and inorganic acids organic chemistry intermediates andpharmaceuticals for the purposes of separation purificationor enrichment [2] of the product

The main difference between reactive extraction andsolvent extraction is the reaction between the extractantand the solute in the organic phase Aliphatic amines andphosphoric solvents are proposed as effective extractants byearlier researchers [3] While extractants play the major rolein the reaction diluents also have a significant effect onthe level of extraction Nonaromatic water immiscible andpolar solvents with intermediate molecular weights and highboiling points are commonly preferred for the extractionto have high distribution and selectivity [4] The solvents(diluents) control the physical properties (viscosity densitysurface tension etc) of the solvent phase and also affect thestability of the complex structure formed between the soluteand the extractant

The reactive extraction is found to be a promisingmethodfor the recovery of the carboxylic acids from a dilute fermen-tation broth [5ndash10] This separation method has advantagessuch as the following

(i) effective at high concentration of substrate in theextractive fermentation

(ii) the acid can be reextracted and the solvent can bereused

(iii) better control of pH in the bioreactor(iv) better recovery of acid with higher product purity(v) reduction of downstream processing load and recov-

tions in reaction phase(viii) reaction products to be separated are immiscible with

liquid-liquid separation

Kertes and King [3] categorize the extractants as threemajor types

(i) carbon bonded oxygen bearing extractants(ii) phosphorus bonded oxygen bearing extractants(iii) high molecular weight aliphatic amines

The first two categories are nonreactive in nature andextract the acid molecules by solvation The distinctionbetween the first two categories is based on the strengthof the solvation bonds and the specificity of solvation Thecoordinate bonds between carbon bonded oxygen donorextractant and the acid are too weak for a specific solvationbut it is significantly more for phosphorus bonded oxygenbearing extractants The extractants in the second categorymake the solvation process more specific and the numberof solvating molecules per extracted acid molecule can beaccessible experimentally The aliphatic amines in the thirdcategory can react with the carboxylic acid molecule andform acid-amine complexes by proton transfer or by ion pairformation This causes a significant increase in the distribu-tion coefficient of the carboxylic acid [11] Among aliphaticamines primary alkyl amines are observed to be excessivelysoluble inwater at room temperature while secondary aminesform a gel phase (third phase) at the interface which createdifficulty in phase separation [3]The extractability of tertiaryamines is found to be more than that of the primary andsecondary amines [5] Aliphatic tertiary amines having morethan six carbon atoms per chain are found to be effectiveextractants for the recovery of carboxylic acids [3]

Although a tertiary amine has good extractability itmust always be used with a diluent due to its viscous andcorrosive nature Further the stability of the formed acid-amine complexes in the reactive extraction is affected by thebasicity of the amine which can be manipulated by usingdifferent types of diluents Moreover use of a diluent controlsthe physical properties such as density viscosity and surfacetension of the organic phase [12]

Diluents can be broadly divided into two groups (i)active diluents and (ii) inactive diluents Generally the active

diluents are polar in nature due to the presence of functionalgroups They are good solvating media for an ion-pairsuch as an acid-amine complex [13] The category includeschlorinated hydrocarbon ketone alcohol and halogenatedaromatic solvents Inactive diluents being nonpolar providevery low distribution of the acid and poor solvation of thepolar complexes Alkanes benzene alkyl substituted aromat-ics and so forth fall in this category These diluents limit theformation of the third phase at higher concentrations of acidin the organic phase and are useful in the stripping of acidThe equilibrium curve can be shifted towards the aqueousphase by increasing the concentration of the inert diluent inthe mixture of diluents [14]

Reactive extraction represents a reaction between the acid(solute) and extractant molecule at the interface of aqueousand organic phase where transfers of acid molecules takeplace by the diffusion and solubilizationmechanism Reactiveextraction strongly depends on various parameters suchas aqueous phase composition organic phase compositiontypes of complexes (1 1 2 1 etc) formed properties of thesolvent (extractant and diluent) type of solvent temperatureand pH [15] The purpose should be achieving a highdistribution coefficient with higher selectivity This can berealized by utilizing an appropriate organic phase at optimumconditions

There are two stages in extractive separation (Figure 1)The first is the extraction of the solute to produce a solute-extractant complex and a relatively solute free aqueousraffinateThe second step is necessary for stripping the solutefrom the organic complex to obtain amine free aqueous soluteas a product and also for simultaneously regenerating theextractant recycled back to the extraction unit In the secondstage of reactive extraction it is necessary to regenerate theorganic phase Tamada and King [16] have described twoapproaches for the regeneration of extractant-diluent system(i) temperature swing regeneration and (ii) diluent swingregeneration Yabannavar and Wang [17] have purified lacticacid from a loaded organic phase using sodium hydroxide(NaOH) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) Poole and King [18]have used an aqueous solution of lowmolecular weight aminefor complete regeneration of organic phase

Reactive extraction has many applications in chemicaland pharmaceutical industries (intermediates organic acidsvitamins ) or in hydrometallurgical and environmentalscience (heavy metals inorganic acids ) The liquid ionexchangers are used to promote a certain reaction to accom-plish very selective separations [19] There are many liquidion exchangers commercially available They work basicallywith three different types of mechanisms anion exchangecation exchange and solvation It is practical to use ion-exchangers in a diluent which is immiscible with water sincethey are highly viscous or solid materials The diluent makesthe organic phase easier to handle [1]

There are a significant number of studies on reactiveextraction of organic acids in the literature These studiesinvestigate various aspects of reactive extraction of organicacids chemical interactions between acids and extractantsreaction mechanisms type of extractants and diluents effectof temperature and pH effect of aqueous and organic phase

2 Equilibrium Studies on Reactive Extractionof Carboxylic Acids

Several researchers [3 8 9 13 16 21 26 31 56ndash59] havestudied theoretical and experimental aspects of the recoveryof carboxylic acids from their aqueous solutions by reactiveextraction In their work the investigators have examinedthe effects of various parameters on the distribution of theacid (solute) between the aqueous and organic phase Someof these parameters are concentration and composition ofboth phases types of the extractants and diluents pH ofthe aqueous phase temperature of the system and toxicityof the solvent phase to the microorganism [3 13 57 6061] In addition to these experimental studies the possiblereaction mechanisms are also described and determinedusing different equilibrium and kinetic models [8 9 5052] Some experimental results have showed synergistic andantagonistic effects on the extraction of the carboxylic acidswhen there is more than one acid in the aqueous phaseor more than one extractant in the organic phase [21 6263] Some researchers have tried to recover the carboxylicacids from production medium by extractive fermentationand studied the process conditions affecting recovery duringproduction [57 60 61 64]

King and his group have performed the pioneeringstudies on the equilibriumof reactive extraction of carboxylicacids Besides carboxylic acids they have also studied theextraction of chlorinated hydrocarbons and aromatics [65]ethanol [66] ammonia [67] and low molecular weightaliphatic alcohols [3] from aqueous solutions In one of theirearlier work Wardell and King [11] studied the extractionof acetic and formic acids from their aqueous solutions[11] using phosphoryl solvents (tributyl phosphate dibutylphosphonate tributylphosphineoxide and triphenylphos-phineoxide) and tertiary amine extractants (tri-119899-octylamineand tri-iso-octylamine) dissolving in different solvents Highdistribution coefficients are achieved with phosphoryl com-pounds which act as a Lewis base (presence of the phosphorylbond PndashO) The results indicated that with the increasein the electronegativity a decrease in the electron-donatingability and disappearance of Lewis basicity were observedThis study also showed the advantage of using long chainamines as extractants in the recovery of carboxylic acids It

was also observed that the extent of the extraction of aceticacid appeared to increase with an increase in the solubilityparameter of the diluent besides the polarity

At the later stage Kertes and King [3] in 1986 pub-lished a research article in which the authors discussed theimprovements in fermentation technology and its need ofcommercialization They have reviewed 11 carboxylic acids(propionic pyruvic lactic succinic fumaricmaleic itaconictartaric citric and isocitric) which are obtained by aerobicfermentation of glucose via the glycolytic pathway andglyoxylate bypass The investigators pointed out that it is theundissociated part of a monocarboxylic acid which can onlybe extracted into carbon-bonded and phosphorus-bondedsolvent This revealed that the initial pH of the aqueous solu-tion and the dissociation constant (p119870

119886) of the acid are two

very important and influential parameters in the extractionof particular acid Mass action law and Nernst distributionlaw are used in order to evaluate the data The authors haveconsidered the dimerization of acids in the organic phaseand proposed a relation between dimerization constant andpartition coefficient The emphasis is given for the use ofaliphatic tertiary amines compared to primary and secondaryamines In particular monocarboxylic acids under compara-ble conditions are noted to be more easily extracted with anappropriate organic phase than di- or tri-carboxylic acids [3]

King and his coworkers [13 16 56] continued theirstudies on reactive extraction of carboxylic acids In their firststudy [13] they have carried out the extraction equilibriumexperiments of carboxylic acids (acetic lactic succinic mal-onic fumaric and maleic) with different p119870

119886values They

have studied the effect of p119870119886of the corresponding acid

on the extent of extraction It is found that the acid withhigher p119870

119886value is extracted inmore amounts Furthermore

they have also searched for the effect of functional groupspresent in acid other than the primary carboxyl groupon extraction The reactive extraction is examined usingAlamine 336 dissolved in various diluents (active diluents1-octanol DCM chloroform MIBK nitrobenzene inertdiluent heptane) These diluents are selected with differentchemical characteristics such as electron donating electronaccepting polar and nonpolar in order to observe the effect ofdiluent-complex interactions on the equilibrium conditionsand the possible formation of acid-amine complexes (1 12 1) They have indicated that solubility of the acid-aminecomplex in the solvent phase is decreased in the followingorder alcoholge nitrobenzenege proton donating halogenatedhydrocarbon gt ketone gt halogenated aromatic gt benzene gtalkyl aromatic gt aromatic hydrocarbon

In their second study Tamada and King [56] have inves-tigated the chemical interactions between the componentsby using the results of mass action law analysis and thespectroscopic studies Organic phase is analyzed by infraredspectroscopy to examine the stoichiometry of the acid-aminecomplex They emphasize that there is an ion pair formationbetween the amine and first acid molecule and there is ahydrogen bond formation between the carboxyl of the secondacidmolecule and the carboxylate of the first in the formationof 2 1 complex of acid-amine

In the last part of the study [16] this group has carriedout the coextraction of water with the acids by Alamine 336dissolved in various diluents and found that amine had noeffect on the coextraction of water Water coextraction wasdecreased in the order of 1-octanol gt MIBK gt nitrobenzenegt methylene chloride gt chloroform gt heptane during theextraction of succinic acid Coextraction of water for differentacids is also compared and it is revealed that monocarboxylicacids carry less water than dicarboxylic acids In this studythe effect of the temperature on the reactive extractionof carboxylic acids by Alamine 336 is performed It isobserved that the distribution coefficient decreased withthe increase in the temperature of the system as with theformation of the complex the system became more orderedand entropy decreased Consequently the amount of acidextracted decreased with the increase in temperature FinallyKing and his coworkers regenerated the extractant throughback-extraction by two approaches swing temperature andswing diluent methods

The quaternary amines are first studied by Yang et al[68] They have investigated Alamine 336 and Aliquat 336quaternary amine produced by the methylation of Alamine336 and composed of a large organic cation with a chlorideion dissolved in kerosene or 2-octanol to extract lactic aceticand propionic and butyric acids It has been reported thatwhile Alamine 336 can extract only the undissociated acidAliquat 336 can extract both dissociated and undissociatedacids and always gives higher distribution coefficients thanAlamine 336 at all pH values It is also reported in this studythat the extraction power of Alamine 336 is increased by thepolar diluent 2-octanol On the other hand a diluent effectcould not be detected on the extraction power of Aliquat 336

Prochazka et al [69] have studied trialkylamine a mix-ture of straight chain tertiary amine with 7ndash9 carbon atomsdissolved in themixture of 1-octanol and n-heptane to extractlactic malic and citric acids It is reported that all systemsused in this study are sensitive to temperature and solventcomposition In another study Juang et al [21 70] useda tertiary amine based extractant tri-n-octylamine (TOA)dissolved in xylene to extract succinic and tartaric acids[21 70] They obtained thermodynamic data on extractionand compared extraction equilibria of succinic and tartaricacids with TOA dissolved in xylene They have reported thatthe equilibrium distribution coefficient of the acids extractedwith TOA increases with initial concentration of amine in theorganic phase and of the acid in the aqueous phase TOA hasalso been investigated by Poposka et al [71] as an extractantdissolved in an iso decanoln heptane mixture for extractionequilibria of citric acid The data were obtained as a function

of acid amine and isodecanol concentrations at 298K and anappropriate mathematical model was proposed

Most of the studies on reactive extraction in the literatureare focused on a single acid in the aqueous phase HoweverJuang et al [70] have reported that extraction characteristicsare affected by the presence of more than one acid in theaqueous phase Separation mechanisms of lactic and citricacids in the aqueous phase with TOA dissolved in xylenehave been investigated via the supported liquid membranetechnique They have reported large synergistic effects com-pared to single acid systems for low initial concentrationratio of citric to lactic acid (120572) and an antagonistic effectat 120572 = 2 The presence of the second acid has a positiveeffect on the transport of citric acid but a negative effecton that of the lactic acid Transport rate of the acids alsoincreases with TOA concentration and temperature Newsynergistic extraction system for organic acids was developedby Matsumoto et al [72] The extraction equilibria wereinvestigated for acetic glycolic propionic lactic succinicfumaric malic and itaconic acids by tri-n-octylamine (TOA)andor tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP) dissolved in hexane Itis reported that when a mixture of extractants are used asynergy is developed and a more effective extraction of allorganic acids is achieved

The above studies clearly show that the reaction betweenthe extracted acid and the extractant present in the organicphase is dependent on the corresponding acid and the con-tents of the organic phase To explore the possibilities of reac-tive extraction and its application and commercializationfurther studies are carried out with different carboxylic acidsusing various extractants dissolved in different categoriesof diluents A brief review of these extraction studies issummarized in a tabular form and shown in Table 1 to have aclear understanding of the various reactive systems used

21 EquilibriumModels The theories of equilibria of reactiveextraction are explained in this section The model describesthe physical and chemical phenomena occurring in theextraction process in the mathematical forms They alsoexplain interaction mechanism between the components ofaqueous (acid and water) and organic (extractant andordiluent) phases In these model equations assumption ismade that all the reactions are in thermodynamic equilibriumoccurring at the interface of aqueous and organic phases

211 Mass Action Law Model Equilibrium data are inter-preted byMass Action Law which was proposed by GuldbergandWaage in 1864 Kertes and King in 1986 [3] applied MassAction Law for reactive extraction of carboxylic acids Inthe Mass Action Law model activities of the aqueous andorganic phase species are assumed to be proportional to therespective concentration of the species and the equilibriumconstant takes care of the constant of proportionality or thenonidealities associated with the reactive system Thereforethe apparent equilibrium constant (written in terms of speciesconcentration) is used for the development of mathematicalmodel of the reaction equilibrium This model can be sub-categorized in two types (i) physical extraction where only

diluent (pure form) is used for extraction and (ii) chemicalextraction where both extractant (phosphoric and aminic)and diluent take part in the extraction process

(1) Physical ExtractionThe process of physical equilibria withpure diluent takes place in three parts (i) partial dissociationof the acid molecule in aqueous phase (ii) distribution of theundissociated acid molecule between aqueous and organicphases and (iii) dimerization of undissociated acid moleculein the organic phase

(i) Carboxylic acid can exist in undissociated (HC) anddissociated (Cminus) forms in the aqueous solution of water Thedissociation of the acid in the aqueous solution depends uponthe strength of the acid (p119870

119886) and is described by

HClarrrarr H+ + Cminus (1)

The dissociation constant (119870119886) is calculated using

119870

119886=

[H+] [Cminus][HC]

(2)

The total acid concentration in the aqueous phase (119862HC) andundissociated acid [HC] concentration can be expressed as(3) and (4) respectively

119862HC = [HC] + [Cminus] (3)

[HC] =119862HC

(1 + (119870

119886 [H+]))

(4)

(ii) The distribution of the undissociated acid moleculebetween aqueous and organic phases is represented by (5) andthe corresponding partition coefficient is given by (6)

HClarrrarr HC (5)

119875 =

[HC][HC]

(6)

(iii) The undissociated extracted acid molecules candimerize in the organic phase due to the strong donor-acceptor interaction This is due to the solute-solute inter-action through hydrogen bond which is stronger than thesolute-solvent interactionThe dimerization of the undissoci-ated extracted acid in the organic phase (HC) is representedby

2HClarrrarr (HC)2

(7)

The dimerization constant (119863) is expressed by

119863 =

where 119862diluentHC is the total (undissociated and dimer forms)

concentration of acid in the organic phase and 119862

diluentHC is

the total (dissociated and undissociated) concentration inaqueous phase at equilibrium with pure diluent

For a dilute concentration of acid (as used in this study)119870

in terms of dimerization constant (119863) and partitioncoefficient (119875) can be represented as [3]

[HC] (10)

To estimate the values of physical extraction parameters (119875and119863) the plots of119870diluent

119863

versus [HC] can be fitted linearlyand value of 119875 from the intercept and 119863 from the slope canbe obtained

(2) Chemical Extraction The interaction of acid moleculewith the extractant molecule in the chemical extraction canoccur in two ways (i) through hydrogen bonding of undisso-ciated acid molecule (11) and (ii) by ion pair formation (12)[73]

extractant concentrations and the basicity of the extractantwith respect to the acid (p119870

acid by phosphorous based extractants (TBP TOPO etc) canbe described by (11) and that for amine based extractants(TOA Aliquat 336 etc) by both mechanisms (11) and (12)

An equilibrium extraction process is described as a set ofreactions (see (13)) between 119898molecules of acid (HC) and 119899molecules of extractant (S) to form various (119898 119899) complexeswith corresponding apparent equilibrium constant (119870

Substituting the values of [HC] and [(HC)119898(119878)

The values of equilibrium extraction constant (119870119864) and the

stoichiometry (119898 119899) of the reactive extraction are determinedby minimizing the error between the experimental andpredicted values of119870

The equilibriummodel for the simultaneous formation ofvarious types of acid-extractant complexes (1 1 2 1 3 1 1 2etc) can be represented by a system of equations (see (20)to (23)) depending upon the type of the acid extractant anddiluent and their concentrations used in the experiment

Using experimental results and by applying the mass actionlaw the values of the individual equilibrium constants (119870

11

119870

21 11987031

and 11987012) and the concentration of complexes (C

11

C21 C31 and C

12) can be estimated An objective function

can be defined to determine individual equilibrium constantsbased on experimental values of 119862HC

Now amodel based on the loading ratio (119885) for formationof various types of complexes (1 1 2 1 etc) between acidand extractant can also be described The extent to whichthe organic phase (extractant and diluent) may be loadedwith acid is expressed by the loading ratio It is a ratio ofacid concentration in the organic phase at equilibrium to theinitial extractant concentration in the organic phase ([S]in)

119885 =

119862HC

[S]in

(30)

The value of 119885 depends on the extractability of the acid(strength of the acid-base interaction) and its aqueous con-centration and the stoichiometry of the overall extractionequilibrium It is found that when the organic phase is nothighly concentrated by acid that is at very low loading ratios(119885 lt 05) 1 1 acid-extractant complex is formed A plot of119885(1 minus 119885) versus [HC] yields a straight line passing throughorigin with a slope of complexation constant (119870

by (31)119885

1 minus 119885

= 119870

11[HC] (31)

If the carboxylic acid concentration is high enough (at least119885 gt 05) this relation can be expressed as shown by

119885

119898 minus 119885

= 119870

1198981[HC]119898 (32)

To account for the extraction only by extractant a term isdefined for the distribution of acid by chemical extraction(119870chem119863

) as

119870

chem119863

=

119862HC minus ]119862diluentHC

119862HC

(33)

where ] is the volume fraction of diluent in the organic phaseTherefore the overall distribution coefficient (119870total

119863

) byphysical and chemical extraction is obtained by adding (9)and (33)

In general the diluent alone also solvates some amount ofsolute (acid) from aqueous solution by physical extractionwhich is described in the previous sectionTherefore in sucha case expression for [(HC)

119898(S)119899] is represented as

[(HC)119898(S)119899] = 119862HC minus ]119862

(35)

Therefore (35) could be obtained by including the term forphysical extraction and rewriting (34) as

212 Linear Solvation Energy Relation (LSER) A linearsolvation energy relationship (LSER) approach has beenintroduced by Kamlet et al [74] in 1983 and then improvedby Abraham [75] It characterizes solvation effects in termsof nonspecific and H-bonding interactions Thus a solvationproperty of interest (119883119884119885) for an organic solute is modeledby a linear solvation energy relationship of the form [76]

22 Kinetic Studies on Reactive Extraction of Carboxylic AcidsKinetic studies are equally essential as equilibrium studies forthe complete design of a reactive extraction unit Lewis typestirred cell [78] cylindrical stirring vessel with highly agitatedsystem [50] stirred cell with a microporous hydrophobicmembrane [79] and so forth were used to perform thekinetic studies on the reactive extraction of various carboxylicacids In these studies the investigators have describedand analyzed the kinetic mechanism of reactive extractionusing formal elementary kinetic model a mechanism ofreactions of acid-amine complexes [50] theory of extractionaccompanied by a chemical reaction [79] and so forth Theestimation of the intrinsic kinetic parameters such as rateconstants (forward and backward) and reaction order werealso carried out using experimental data According to theirfindings the reaction between the acid and the extractantnot only depends on the composition of the organic andaqueous phases it also depends on the hydrodynamic param-eters (volume ratio of phases interfacial area and speed ofagitation) of the system which also confirmed the region ofthe (mass transfer controlled or reaction controlled) reactionIn a study by Jun et al [80] in 2007 it was observed that thereaction rates were affected by pH and contamination presentin the aqueous phase At a pH greater than the p119870

119886of acid

more dissociation took place leading to the reduction in theextraction efficiency Therefore it was recommended thatto have an effective separation of acid from the productionmedia the pH of the fermentation broth should be kept ata value less than the p119870

119886of the acid Further a brief review

of the kinetic studies on reactive extraction is summarized inTable 2 to have an overviewof the reactive kinetics of differentcarboxylic acids

221 Kinetic Model A comprehensive study on the theory ofextraction accompanied with chemical reaction in a stirredcell is proposed by Doraiswamy and Sharma [79] in 1984 todetermine the effect of chemical reaction on the specific rateof reaction With the help of the film and renewal theorieswith physico-chemical and hydrodynamic parameters theyhave classified the reactive system into four reaction regimes(very slow slow fast and instantaneous) depending on theirrelative diffusion and reaction rates (Table 3)

The value of physical mass transfer coefficient (119896119871) is

required to confirm the regime of reaction This is obtained

The reaction between acid and extractant is reversibleThis problem of reversibility can be avoided by measuringthe initial specific rate of reaction which is governed onlyby the forward reaction Therefore in this study the initialspecific rate of extraction 119877HC0 (molsdotmminus2sdotsminus1) is calculatedfrom experimental data using the following equation

Kertes and King [3] categorize the extractants as threemajor types

(i) carbon bonded oxygen bearing extractants(ii) phosphorus bonded oxygen bearing extractants(iii) high molecular weight aliphatic amines

The first two categories are nonreactive in nature andextract the acid molecules by solvation The distinctionbetween the first two categories is based on the strengthof the solvation bonds and the specificity of solvation Thecoordinate bonds between carbon bonded oxygen donorextractant and the acid are too weak for a specific solvationbut it is significantly more for phosphorus bonded oxygenbearing extractants The extractants in the second categorymake the solvation process more specific and the numberof solvating molecules per extracted acid molecule can beaccessible experimentally The aliphatic amines in the thirdcategory can react with the carboxylic acid molecule andform acid-amine complexes by proton transfer or by ion pairformation This causes a significant increase in the distribu-tion coefficient of the carboxylic acid [11] Among aliphaticamines primary alkyl amines are observed to be excessivelysoluble inwater at room temperature while secondary aminesform a gel phase (third phase) at the interface which createdifficulty in phase separation [3]The extractability of tertiaryamines is found to be more than that of the primary andsecondary amines [5] Aliphatic tertiary amines having morethan six carbon atoms per chain are found to be effectiveextractants for the recovery of carboxylic acids [3]

Although a tertiary amine has good extractability itmust always be used with a diluent due to its viscous andcorrosive nature Further the stability of the formed acid-amine complexes in the reactive extraction is affected by thebasicity of the amine which can be manipulated by usingdifferent types of diluents Moreover use of a diluent controlsthe physical properties such as density viscosity and surfacetension of the organic phase [12]

Diluents can be broadly divided into two groups (i)active diluents and (ii) inactive diluents Generally the active

diluents are polar in nature due to the presence of functionalgroups They are good solvating media for an ion-pairsuch as an acid-amine complex [13] The category includeschlorinated hydrocarbon ketone alcohol and halogenatedaromatic solvents Inactive diluents being nonpolar providevery low distribution of the acid and poor solvation of thepolar complexes Alkanes benzene alkyl substituted aromat-ics and so forth fall in this category These diluents limit theformation of the third phase at higher concentrations of acidin the organic phase and are useful in the stripping of acidThe equilibrium curve can be shifted towards the aqueousphase by increasing the concentration of the inert diluent inthe mixture of diluents [14]

Reactive extraction represents a reaction between the acid(solute) and extractant molecule at the interface of aqueousand organic phase where transfers of acid molecules takeplace by the diffusion and solubilizationmechanism Reactiveextraction strongly depends on various parameters suchas aqueous phase composition organic phase compositiontypes of complexes (1 1 2 1 etc) formed properties of thesolvent (extractant and diluent) type of solvent temperatureand pH [15] The purpose should be achieving a highdistribution coefficient with higher selectivity This can berealized by utilizing an appropriate organic phase at optimumconditions

There are two stages in extractive separation (Figure 1)The first is the extraction of the solute to produce a solute-extractant complex and a relatively solute free aqueousraffinateThe second step is necessary for stripping the solutefrom the organic complex to obtain amine free aqueous soluteas a product and also for simultaneously regenerating theextractant recycled back to the extraction unit In the secondstage of reactive extraction it is necessary to regenerate theorganic phase Tamada and King [16] have described twoapproaches for the regeneration of extractant-diluent system(i) temperature swing regeneration and (ii) diluent swingregeneration Yabannavar and Wang [17] have purified lacticacid from a loaded organic phase using sodium hydroxide(NaOH) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) Poole and King [18]have used an aqueous solution of lowmolecular weight aminefor complete regeneration of organic phase

Reactive extraction has many applications in chemicaland pharmaceutical industries (intermediates organic acidsvitamins ) or in hydrometallurgical and environmentalscience (heavy metals inorganic acids ) The liquid ionexchangers are used to promote a certain reaction to accom-plish very selective separations [19] There are many liquidion exchangers commercially available They work basicallywith three different types of mechanisms anion exchangecation exchange and solvation It is practical to use ion-exchangers in a diluent which is immiscible with water sincethey are highly viscous or solid materials The diluent makesthe organic phase easier to handle [1]

There are a significant number of studies on reactiveextraction of organic acids in the literature These studiesinvestigate various aspects of reactive extraction of organicacids chemical interactions between acids and extractantsreaction mechanisms type of extractants and diluents effectof temperature and pH effect of aqueous and organic phase

2 Equilibrium Studies on Reactive Extractionof Carboxylic Acids

Several researchers [3 8 9 13 16 21 26 31 56ndash59] havestudied theoretical and experimental aspects of the recoveryof carboxylic acids from their aqueous solutions by reactiveextraction In their work the investigators have examinedthe effects of various parameters on the distribution of theacid (solute) between the aqueous and organic phase Someof these parameters are concentration and composition ofboth phases types of the extractants and diluents pH ofthe aqueous phase temperature of the system and toxicityof the solvent phase to the microorganism [3 13 57 6061] In addition to these experimental studies the possiblereaction mechanisms are also described and determinedusing different equilibrium and kinetic models [8 9 5052] Some experimental results have showed synergistic andantagonistic effects on the extraction of the carboxylic acidswhen there is more than one acid in the aqueous phaseor more than one extractant in the organic phase [21 6263] Some researchers have tried to recover the carboxylicacids from production medium by extractive fermentationand studied the process conditions affecting recovery duringproduction [57 60 61 64]

King and his group have performed the pioneeringstudies on the equilibriumof reactive extraction of carboxylicacids Besides carboxylic acids they have also studied theextraction of chlorinated hydrocarbons and aromatics [65]ethanol [66] ammonia [67] and low molecular weightaliphatic alcohols [3] from aqueous solutions In one of theirearlier work Wardell and King [11] studied the extractionof acetic and formic acids from their aqueous solutions[11] using phosphoryl solvents (tributyl phosphate dibutylphosphonate tributylphosphineoxide and triphenylphos-phineoxide) and tertiary amine extractants (tri-119899-octylamineand tri-iso-octylamine) dissolving in different solvents Highdistribution coefficients are achieved with phosphoryl com-pounds which act as a Lewis base (presence of the phosphorylbond PndashO) The results indicated that with the increasein the electronegativity a decrease in the electron-donatingability and disappearance of Lewis basicity were observedThis study also showed the advantage of using long chainamines as extractants in the recovery of carboxylic acids It

was also observed that the extent of the extraction of aceticacid appeared to increase with an increase in the solubilityparameter of the diluent besides the polarity

At the later stage Kertes and King [3] in 1986 pub-lished a research article in which the authors discussed theimprovements in fermentation technology and its need ofcommercialization They have reviewed 11 carboxylic acids(propionic pyruvic lactic succinic fumaricmaleic itaconictartaric citric and isocitric) which are obtained by aerobicfermentation of glucose via the glycolytic pathway andglyoxylate bypass The investigators pointed out that it is theundissociated part of a monocarboxylic acid which can onlybe extracted into carbon-bonded and phosphorus-bondedsolvent This revealed that the initial pH of the aqueous solu-tion and the dissociation constant (p119870

119886) of the acid are two

very important and influential parameters in the extractionof particular acid Mass action law and Nernst distributionlaw are used in order to evaluate the data The authors haveconsidered the dimerization of acids in the organic phaseand proposed a relation between dimerization constant andpartition coefficient The emphasis is given for the use ofaliphatic tertiary amines compared to primary and secondaryamines In particular monocarboxylic acids under compara-ble conditions are noted to be more easily extracted with anappropriate organic phase than di- or tri-carboxylic acids [3]

King and his coworkers [13 16 56] continued theirstudies on reactive extraction of carboxylic acids In their firststudy [13] they have carried out the extraction equilibriumexperiments of carboxylic acids (acetic lactic succinic mal-onic fumaric and maleic) with different p119870

119886values They

have studied the effect of p119870119886of the corresponding acid

on the extent of extraction It is found that the acid withhigher p119870

119886value is extracted inmore amounts Furthermore

they have also searched for the effect of functional groupspresent in acid other than the primary carboxyl groupon extraction The reactive extraction is examined usingAlamine 336 dissolved in various diluents (active diluents1-octanol DCM chloroform MIBK nitrobenzene inertdiluent heptane) These diluents are selected with differentchemical characteristics such as electron donating electronaccepting polar and nonpolar in order to observe the effect ofdiluent-complex interactions on the equilibrium conditionsand the possible formation of acid-amine complexes (1 12 1) They have indicated that solubility of the acid-aminecomplex in the solvent phase is decreased in the followingorder alcoholge nitrobenzenege proton donating halogenatedhydrocarbon gt ketone gt halogenated aromatic gt benzene gtalkyl aromatic gt aromatic hydrocarbon

In their second study Tamada and King [56] have inves-tigated the chemical interactions between the componentsby using the results of mass action law analysis and thespectroscopic studies Organic phase is analyzed by infraredspectroscopy to examine the stoichiometry of the acid-aminecomplex They emphasize that there is an ion pair formationbetween the amine and first acid molecule and there is ahydrogen bond formation between the carboxyl of the secondacidmolecule and the carboxylate of the first in the formationof 2 1 complex of acid-amine

In the last part of the study [16] this group has carriedout the coextraction of water with the acids by Alamine 336dissolved in various diluents and found that amine had noeffect on the coextraction of water Water coextraction wasdecreased in the order of 1-octanol gt MIBK gt nitrobenzenegt methylene chloride gt chloroform gt heptane during theextraction of succinic acid Coextraction of water for differentacids is also compared and it is revealed that monocarboxylicacids carry less water than dicarboxylic acids In this studythe effect of the temperature on the reactive extractionof carboxylic acids by Alamine 336 is performed It isobserved that the distribution coefficient decreased withthe increase in the temperature of the system as with theformation of the complex the system became more orderedand entropy decreased Consequently the amount of acidextracted decreased with the increase in temperature FinallyKing and his coworkers regenerated the extractant throughback-extraction by two approaches swing temperature andswing diluent methods

The quaternary amines are first studied by Yang et al[68] They have investigated Alamine 336 and Aliquat 336quaternary amine produced by the methylation of Alamine336 and composed of a large organic cation with a chlorideion dissolved in kerosene or 2-octanol to extract lactic aceticand propionic and butyric acids It has been reported thatwhile Alamine 336 can extract only the undissociated acidAliquat 336 can extract both dissociated and undissociatedacids and always gives higher distribution coefficients thanAlamine 336 at all pH values It is also reported in this studythat the extraction power of Alamine 336 is increased by thepolar diluent 2-octanol On the other hand a diluent effectcould not be detected on the extraction power of Aliquat 336

Prochazka et al [69] have studied trialkylamine a mix-ture of straight chain tertiary amine with 7ndash9 carbon atomsdissolved in themixture of 1-octanol and n-heptane to extractlactic malic and citric acids It is reported that all systemsused in this study are sensitive to temperature and solventcomposition In another study Juang et al [21 70] useda tertiary amine based extractant tri-n-octylamine (TOA)dissolved in xylene to extract succinic and tartaric acids[21 70] They obtained thermodynamic data on extractionand compared extraction equilibria of succinic and tartaricacids with TOA dissolved in xylene They have reported thatthe equilibrium distribution coefficient of the acids extractedwith TOA increases with initial concentration of amine in theorganic phase and of the acid in the aqueous phase TOA hasalso been investigated by Poposka et al [71] as an extractantdissolved in an iso decanoln heptane mixture for extractionequilibria of citric acid The data were obtained as a function

of acid amine and isodecanol concentrations at 298K and anappropriate mathematical model was proposed

Most of the studies on reactive extraction in the literatureare focused on a single acid in the aqueous phase HoweverJuang et al [70] have reported that extraction characteristicsare affected by the presence of more than one acid in theaqueous phase Separation mechanisms of lactic and citricacids in the aqueous phase with TOA dissolved in xylenehave been investigated via the supported liquid membranetechnique They have reported large synergistic effects com-pared to single acid systems for low initial concentrationratio of citric to lactic acid (120572) and an antagonistic effectat 120572 = 2 The presence of the second acid has a positiveeffect on the transport of citric acid but a negative effecton that of the lactic acid Transport rate of the acids alsoincreases with TOA concentration and temperature Newsynergistic extraction system for organic acids was developedby Matsumoto et al [72] The extraction equilibria wereinvestigated for acetic glycolic propionic lactic succinicfumaric malic and itaconic acids by tri-n-octylamine (TOA)andor tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP) dissolved in hexane Itis reported that when a mixture of extractants are used asynergy is developed and a more effective extraction of allorganic acids is achieved

The above studies clearly show that the reaction betweenthe extracted acid and the extractant present in the organicphase is dependent on the corresponding acid and the con-tents of the organic phase To explore the possibilities of reac-tive extraction and its application and commercializationfurther studies are carried out with different carboxylic acidsusing various extractants dissolved in different categoriesof diluents A brief review of these extraction studies issummarized in a tabular form and shown in Table 1 to have aclear understanding of the various reactive systems used

21 EquilibriumModels The theories of equilibria of reactiveextraction are explained in this section The model describesthe physical and chemical phenomena occurring in theextraction process in the mathematical forms They alsoexplain interaction mechanism between the components ofaqueous (acid and water) and organic (extractant andordiluent) phases In these model equations assumption ismade that all the reactions are in thermodynamic equilibriumoccurring at the interface of aqueous and organic phases

211 Mass Action Law Model Equilibrium data are inter-preted byMass Action Law which was proposed by GuldbergandWaage in 1864 Kertes and King in 1986 [3] applied MassAction Law for reactive extraction of carboxylic acids Inthe Mass Action Law model activities of the aqueous andorganic phase species are assumed to be proportional to therespective concentration of the species and the equilibriumconstant takes care of the constant of proportionality or thenonidealities associated with the reactive system Thereforethe apparent equilibrium constant (written in terms of speciesconcentration) is used for the development of mathematicalmodel of the reaction equilibrium This model can be sub-categorized in two types (i) physical extraction where only

diluent (pure form) is used for extraction and (ii) chemicalextraction where both extractant (phosphoric and aminic)and diluent take part in the extraction process

(1) Physical ExtractionThe process of physical equilibria withpure diluent takes place in three parts (i) partial dissociationof the acid molecule in aqueous phase (ii) distribution of theundissociated acid molecule between aqueous and organicphases and (iii) dimerization of undissociated acid moleculein the organic phase

(i) Carboxylic acid can exist in undissociated (HC) anddissociated (Cminus) forms in the aqueous solution of water Thedissociation of the acid in the aqueous solution depends uponthe strength of the acid (p119870

119886) and is described by

HClarrrarr H+ + Cminus (1)

The dissociation constant (119870119886) is calculated using

An equilibrium extraction process is described as a set ofreactions (see (13)) between 119898molecules of acid (HC) and 119899molecules of extractant (S) to form various (119898 119899) complexeswith corresponding apparent equilibrium constant (119870

The equilibriummodel for the simultaneous formation ofvarious types of acid-extractant complexes (1 1 2 1 3 1 1 2etc) can be represented by a system of equations (see (20)to (23)) depending upon the type of the acid extractant anddiluent and their concentrations used in the experiment

Using experimental results and by applying the mass actionlaw the values of the individual equilibrium constants (119870

and 11987012) and the concentration of complexes (C

11

C21 C31 and C

12) can be estimated An objective function

can be defined to determine individual equilibrium constantsbased on experimental values of 119862HC

Now amodel based on the loading ratio (119885) for formationof various types of complexes (1 1 2 1 etc) between acidand extractant can also be described The extent to whichthe organic phase (extractant and diluent) may be loadedwith acid is expressed by the loading ratio It is a ratio ofacid concentration in the organic phase at equilibrium to theinitial extractant concentration in the organic phase ([S]in)

119885 =

119862HC

[S]in

(30)

The value of 119885 depends on the extractability of the acid(strength of the acid-base interaction) and its aqueous con-centration and the stoichiometry of the overall extractionequilibrium It is found that when the organic phase is nothighly concentrated by acid that is at very low loading ratios(119885 lt 05) 1 1 acid-extractant complex is formed A plot of119885(1 minus 119885) versus [HC] yields a straight line passing throughorigin with a slope of complexation constant (119870

If the carboxylic acid concentration is high enough (at least119885 gt 05) this relation can be expressed as shown by

= 119870

To account for the extraction only by extractant a term isdefined for the distribution of acid by chemical extraction(119870chem119863

where ] is the volume fraction of diluent in the organic phaseTherefore the overall distribution coefficient (119870total

In general the diluent alone also solvates some amount ofsolute (acid) from aqueous solution by physical extractionwhich is described in the previous sectionTherefore in sucha case expression for [(HC)

[(HC)119898(S)119899] = 119862HC minus ]119862

22 Kinetic Studies on Reactive Extraction of Carboxylic AcidsKinetic studies are equally essential as equilibrium studies forthe complete design of a reactive extraction unit Lewis typestirred cell [78] cylindrical stirring vessel with highly agitatedsystem [50] stirred cell with a microporous hydrophobicmembrane [79] and so forth were used to perform thekinetic studies on the reactive extraction of various carboxylicacids In these studies the investigators have describedand analyzed the kinetic mechanism of reactive extractionusing formal elementary kinetic model a mechanism ofreactions of acid-amine complexes [50] theory of extractionaccompanied by a chemical reaction [79] and so forth Theestimation of the intrinsic kinetic parameters such as rateconstants (forward and backward) and reaction order werealso carried out using experimental data According to theirfindings the reaction between the acid and the extractantnot only depends on the composition of the organic andaqueous phases it also depends on the hydrodynamic param-eters (volume ratio of phases interfacial area and speed ofagitation) of the system which also confirmed the region ofthe (mass transfer controlled or reaction controlled) reactionIn a study by Jun et al [80] in 2007 it was observed that thereaction rates were affected by pH and contamination presentin the aqueous phase At a pH greater than the p119870

119886of acid

more dissociation took place leading to the reduction in theextraction efficiency Therefore it was recommended thatto have an effective separation of acid from the productionmedia the pH of the fermentation broth should be kept ata value less than the p119870

119886of the acid Further a brief review

of the kinetic studies on reactive extraction is summarized inTable 2 to have an overviewof the reactive kinetics of differentcarboxylic acids

221 Kinetic Model A comprehensive study on the theory ofextraction accompanied with chemical reaction in a stirredcell is proposed by Doraiswamy and Sharma [79] in 1984 todetermine the effect of chemical reaction on the specific rateof reaction With the help of the film and renewal theorieswith physico-chemical and hydrodynamic parameters theyhave classified the reactive system into four reaction regimes(very slow slow fast and instantaneous) depending on theirrelative diffusion and reaction rates (Table 3)

The value of physical mass transfer coefficient (119896119871) is

required to confirm the regime of reaction This is obtained

2 Equilibrium Studies on Reactive Extractionof Carboxylic Acids

Several researchers [3 8 9 13 16 21 26 31 56ndash59] havestudied theoretical and experimental aspects of the recoveryof carboxylic acids from their aqueous solutions by reactiveextraction In their work the investigators have examinedthe effects of various parameters on the distribution of theacid (solute) between the aqueous and organic phase Someof these parameters are concentration and composition ofboth phases types of the extractants and diluents pH ofthe aqueous phase temperature of the system and toxicityof the solvent phase to the microorganism [3 13 57 6061] In addition to these experimental studies the possiblereaction mechanisms are also described and determinedusing different equilibrium and kinetic models [8 9 5052] Some experimental results have showed synergistic andantagonistic effects on the extraction of the carboxylic acidswhen there is more than one acid in the aqueous phaseor more than one extractant in the organic phase [21 6263] Some researchers have tried to recover the carboxylicacids from production medium by extractive fermentationand studied the process conditions affecting recovery duringproduction [57 60 61 64]

King and his group have performed the pioneeringstudies on the equilibriumof reactive extraction of carboxylicacids Besides carboxylic acids they have also studied theextraction of chlorinated hydrocarbons and aromatics [65]ethanol [66] ammonia [67] and low molecular weightaliphatic alcohols [3] from aqueous solutions In one of theirearlier work Wardell and King [11] studied the extractionof acetic and formic acids from their aqueous solutions[11] using phosphoryl solvents (tributyl phosphate dibutylphosphonate tributylphosphineoxide and triphenylphos-phineoxide) and tertiary amine extractants (tri-119899-octylamineand tri-iso-octylamine) dissolving in different solvents Highdistribution coefficients are achieved with phosphoryl com-pounds which act as a Lewis base (presence of the phosphorylbond PndashO) The results indicated that with the increasein the electronegativity a decrease in the electron-donatingability and disappearance of Lewis basicity were observedThis study also showed the advantage of using long chainamines as extractants in the recovery of carboxylic acids It

was also observed that the extent of the extraction of aceticacid appeared to increase with an increase in the solubilityparameter of the diluent besides the polarity

At the later stage Kertes and King [3] in 1986 pub-lished a research article in which the authors discussed theimprovements in fermentation technology and its need ofcommercialization They have reviewed 11 carboxylic acids(propionic pyruvic lactic succinic fumaricmaleic itaconictartaric citric and isocitric) which are obtained by aerobicfermentation of glucose via the glycolytic pathway andglyoxylate bypass The investigators pointed out that it is theundissociated part of a monocarboxylic acid which can onlybe extracted into carbon-bonded and phosphorus-bondedsolvent This revealed that the initial pH of the aqueous solu-tion and the dissociation constant (p119870

119886) of the acid are two

very important and influential parameters in the extractionof particular acid Mass action law and Nernst distributionlaw are used in order to evaluate the data The authors haveconsidered the dimerization of acids in the organic phaseand proposed a relation between dimerization constant andpartition coefficient The emphasis is given for the use ofaliphatic tertiary amines compared to primary and secondaryamines In particular monocarboxylic acids under compara-ble conditions are noted to be more easily extracted with anappropriate organic phase than di- or tri-carboxylic acids [3]

King and his coworkers [13 16 56] continued theirstudies on reactive extraction of carboxylic acids In their firststudy [13] they have carried out the extraction equilibriumexperiments of carboxylic acids (acetic lactic succinic mal-onic fumaric and maleic) with different p119870

119886values They

have studied the effect of p119870119886of the corresponding acid

on the extent of extraction It is found that the acid withhigher p119870

119886value is extracted inmore amounts Furthermore

they have also searched for the effect of functional groupspresent in acid other than the primary carboxyl groupon extraction The reactive extraction is examined usingAlamine 336 dissolved in various diluents (active diluents1-octanol DCM chloroform MIBK nitrobenzene inertdiluent heptane) These diluents are selected with differentchemical characteristics such as electron donating electronaccepting polar and nonpolar in order to observe the effect ofdiluent-complex interactions on the equilibrium conditionsand the possible formation of acid-amine complexes (1 12 1) They have indicated that solubility of the acid-aminecomplex in the solvent phase is decreased in the followingorder alcoholge nitrobenzenege proton donating halogenatedhydrocarbon gt ketone gt halogenated aromatic gt benzene gtalkyl aromatic gt aromatic hydrocarbon

In their second study Tamada and King [56] have inves-tigated the chemical interactions between the componentsby using the results of mass action law analysis and thespectroscopic studies Organic phase is analyzed by infraredspectroscopy to examine the stoichiometry of the acid-aminecomplex They emphasize that there is an ion pair formationbetween the amine and first acid molecule and there is ahydrogen bond formation between the carboxyl of the secondacidmolecule and the carboxylate of the first in the formationof 2 1 complex of acid-amine

In the last part of the study [16] this group has carriedout the coextraction of water with the acids by Alamine 336dissolved in various diluents and found that amine had noeffect on the coextraction of water Water coextraction wasdecreased in the order of 1-octanol gt MIBK gt nitrobenzenegt methylene chloride gt chloroform gt heptane during theextraction of succinic acid Coextraction of water for differentacids is also compared and it is revealed that monocarboxylicacids carry less water than dicarboxylic acids In this studythe effect of the temperature on the reactive extractionof carboxylic acids by Alamine 336 is performed It isobserved that the distribution coefficient decreased withthe increase in the temperature of the system as with theformation of the complex the system became more orderedand entropy decreased Consequently the amount of acidextracted decreased with the increase in temperature FinallyKing and his coworkers regenerated the extractant throughback-extraction by two approaches swing temperature andswing diluent methods

The quaternary amines are first studied by Yang et al[68] They have investigated Alamine 336 and Aliquat 336quaternary amine produced by the methylation of Alamine336 and composed of a large organic cation with a chlorideion dissolved in kerosene or 2-octanol to extract lactic aceticand propionic and butyric acids It has been reported thatwhile Alamine 336 can extract only the undissociated acidAliquat 336 can extract both dissociated and undissociatedacids and always gives higher distribution coefficients thanAlamine 336 at all pH values It is also reported in this studythat the extraction power of Alamine 336 is increased by thepolar diluent 2-octanol On the other hand a diluent effectcould not be detected on the extraction power of Aliquat 336

Prochazka et al [69] have studied trialkylamine a mix-ture of straight chain tertiary amine with 7ndash9 carbon atomsdissolved in themixture of 1-octanol and n-heptane to extractlactic malic and citric acids It is reported that all systemsused in this study are sensitive to temperature and solventcomposition In another study Juang et al [21 70] useda tertiary amine based extractant tri-n-octylamine (TOA)dissolved in xylene to extract succinic and tartaric acids[21 70] They obtained thermodynamic data on extractionand compared extraction equilibria of succinic and tartaricacids with TOA dissolved in xylene They have reported thatthe equilibrium distribution coefficient of the acids extractedwith TOA increases with initial concentration of amine in theorganic phase and of the acid in the aqueous phase TOA hasalso been investigated by Poposka et al [71] as an extractantdissolved in an iso decanoln heptane mixture for extractionequilibria of citric acid The data were obtained as a function

of acid amine and isodecanol concentrations at 298K and anappropriate mathematical model was proposed

Most of the studies on reactive extraction in the literatureare focused on a single acid in the aqueous phase HoweverJuang et al [70] have reported that extraction characteristicsare affected by the presence of more than one acid in theaqueous phase Separation mechanisms of lactic and citricacids in the aqueous phase with TOA dissolved in xylenehave been investigated via the supported liquid membranetechnique They have reported large synergistic effects com-pared to single acid systems for low initial concentrationratio of citric to lactic acid (120572) and an antagonistic effectat 120572 = 2 The presence of the second acid has a positiveeffect on the transport of citric acid but a negative effecton that of the lactic acid Transport rate of the acids alsoincreases with TOA concentration and temperature Newsynergistic extraction system for organic acids was developedby Matsumoto et al [72] The extraction equilibria wereinvestigated for acetic glycolic propionic lactic succinicfumaric malic and itaconic acids by tri-n-octylamine (TOA)andor tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP) dissolved in hexane Itis reported that when a mixture of extractants are used asynergy is developed and a more effective extraction of allorganic acids is achieved

The above studies clearly show that the reaction betweenthe extracted acid and the extractant present in the organicphase is dependent on the corresponding acid and the con-tents of the organic phase To explore the possibilities of reac-tive extraction and its application and commercializationfurther studies are carried out with different carboxylic acidsusing various extractants dissolved in different categoriesof diluents A brief review of these extraction studies issummarized in a tabular form and shown in Table 1 to have aclear understanding of the various reactive systems used

21 EquilibriumModels The theories of equilibria of reactiveextraction are explained in this section The model describesthe physical and chemical phenomena occurring in theextraction process in the mathematical forms They alsoexplain interaction mechanism between the components ofaqueous (acid and water) and organic (extractant andordiluent) phases In these model equations assumption ismade that all the reactions are in thermodynamic equilibriumoccurring at the interface of aqueous and organic phases

211 Mass Action Law Model Equilibrium data are inter-preted byMass Action Law which was proposed by GuldbergandWaage in 1864 Kertes and King in 1986 [3] applied MassAction Law for reactive extraction of carboxylic acids Inthe Mass Action Law model activities of the aqueous andorganic phase species are assumed to be proportional to therespective concentration of the species and the equilibriumconstant takes care of the constant of proportionality or thenonidealities associated with the reactive system Thereforethe apparent equilibrium constant (written in terms of speciesconcentration) is used for the development of mathematicalmodel of the reaction equilibrium This model can be sub-categorized in two types (i) physical extraction where only

diluent (pure form) is used for extraction and (ii) chemicalextraction where both extractant (phosphoric and aminic)and diluent take part in the extraction process

(1) Physical ExtractionThe process of physical equilibria withpure diluent takes place in three parts (i) partial dissociationof the acid molecule in aqueous phase (ii) distribution of theundissociated acid molecule between aqueous and organicphases and (iii) dimerization of undissociated acid moleculein the organic phase

(i) Carboxylic acid can exist in undissociated (HC) anddissociated (Cminus) forms in the aqueous solution of water Thedissociation of the acid in the aqueous solution depends uponthe strength of the acid (p119870

119886) and is described by

HClarrrarr H+ + Cminus (1)

The dissociation constant (119870119886) is calculated using

119870

119886=

[H+] [Cminus][HC]

(2)

The total acid concentration in the aqueous phase (119862HC) andundissociated acid [HC] concentration can be expressed as(3) and (4) respectively

119862HC = [HC] + [Cminus] (3)

[HC] =119862HC

(1 + (119870

119886 [H+]))

(4)

(ii) The distribution of the undissociated acid moleculebetween aqueous and organic phases is represented by (5) andthe corresponding partition coefficient is given by (6)

HClarrrarr HC (5)

119875 =

[HC][HC]

(6)

(iii) The undissociated extracted acid molecules candimerize in the organic phase due to the strong donor-acceptor interaction This is due to the solute-solute inter-action through hydrogen bond which is stronger than thesolute-solvent interactionThe dimerization of the undissoci-ated extracted acid in the organic phase (HC) is representedby

2HClarrrarr (HC)2

(7)

The dimerization constant (119863) is expressed by

119863 =

(HC)2

where 119862diluentHC is the total (undissociated and dimer forms)

concentration of acid in the organic phase and 119862

diluentHC is

the total (dissociated and undissociated) concentration inaqueous phase at equilibrium with pure diluent

For a dilute concentration of acid (as used in this study)119870

diluent119863

in terms of dimerization constant (119863) and partitioncoefficient (119875) can be represented as [3]

[HC] (10)

To estimate the values of physical extraction parameters (119875and119863) the plots of119870diluent

119863

versus [HC] can be fitted linearlyand value of 119875 from the intercept and 119863 from the slope canbe obtained

(2) Chemical Extraction The interaction of acid moleculewith the extractant molecule in the chemical extraction canoccur in two ways (i) through hydrogen bonding of undisso-ciated acid molecule (11) and (ii) by ion pair formation (12)[73]

HC + Slarrrarr (HC) (S) (11)

119886of acid the acid and

extractant concentrations and the basicity of the extractantwith respect to the acid (p119870

119861) The extraction of carboxylic

acid by phosphorous based extractants (TBP TOPO etc) canbe described by (11) and that for amine based extractants(TOA Aliquat 336 etc) by both mechanisms (11) and (12)

An equilibrium extraction process is described as a set ofreactions (see (13)) between 119898molecules of acid (HC) and 119899molecules of extractant (S) to form various (119898 119899) complexeswith corresponding apparent equilibrium constant (119870

The values of equilibrium extraction constant (119870119864) and the

stoichiometry (119898 119899) of the reactive extraction are determinedby minimizing the error between the experimental andpredicted values of119870

The equilibriummodel for the simultaneous formation ofvarious types of acid-extractant complexes (1 1 2 1 3 1 1 2etc) can be represented by a system of equations (see (20)to (23)) depending upon the type of the acid extractant anddiluent and their concentrations used in the experiment

Using experimental results and by applying the mass actionlaw the values of the individual equilibrium constants (119870

and 11987012) and the concentration of complexes (C

12) can be estimated An objective function

can be defined to determine individual equilibrium constantsbased on experimental values of 119862HC

Now amodel based on the loading ratio (119885) for formationof various types of complexes (1 1 2 1 etc) between acidand extractant can also be described The extent to whichthe organic phase (extractant and diluent) may be loadedwith acid is expressed by the loading ratio It is a ratio ofacid concentration in the organic phase at equilibrium to theinitial extractant concentration in the organic phase ([S]in)

119885 =

119862HC

[S]in

(30)

The value of 119885 depends on the extractability of the acid(strength of the acid-base interaction) and its aqueous con-centration and the stoichiometry of the overall extractionequilibrium It is found that when the organic phase is nothighly concentrated by acid that is at very low loading ratios(119885 lt 05) 1 1 acid-extractant complex is formed A plot of119885(1 minus 119885) versus [HC] yields a straight line passing throughorigin with a slope of complexation constant (119870

If the carboxylic acid concentration is high enough (at least119885 gt 05) this relation can be expressed as shown by

To account for the extraction only by extractant a term isdefined for the distribution of acid by chemical extraction(119870chem119863

where ] is the volume fraction of diluent in the organic phaseTherefore the overall distribution coefficient (119870total

In general the diluent alone also solvates some amount ofsolute (acid) from aqueous solution by physical extractionwhich is described in the previous sectionTherefore in sucha case expression for [(HC)

[(HC)119898(S)119899] = 119862HC minus ]119862

212 Linear Solvation Energy Relation (LSER) A linearsolvation energy relationship (LSER) approach has beenintroduced by Kamlet et al [74] in 1983 and then improvedby Abraham [75] It characterizes solvation effects in termsof nonspecific and H-bonding interactions Thus a solvationproperty of interest (119883119884119885) for an organic solute is modeledby a linear solvation energy relationship of the form [76]

22 Kinetic Studies on Reactive Extraction of Carboxylic AcidsKinetic studies are equally essential as equilibrium studies forthe complete design of a reactive extraction unit Lewis typestirred cell [78] cylindrical stirring vessel with highly agitatedsystem [50] stirred cell with a microporous hydrophobicmembrane [79] and so forth were used to perform thekinetic studies on the reactive extraction of various carboxylicacids In these studies the investigators have describedand analyzed the kinetic mechanism of reactive extractionusing formal elementary kinetic model a mechanism ofreactions of acid-amine complexes [50] theory of extractionaccompanied by a chemical reaction [79] and so forth Theestimation of the intrinsic kinetic parameters such as rateconstants (forward and backward) and reaction order werealso carried out using experimental data According to theirfindings the reaction between the acid and the extractantnot only depends on the composition of the organic andaqueous phases it also depends on the hydrodynamic param-eters (volume ratio of phases interfacial area and speed ofagitation) of the system which also confirmed the region ofthe (mass transfer controlled or reaction controlled) reactionIn a study by Jun et al [80] in 2007 it was observed that thereaction rates were affected by pH and contamination presentin the aqueous phase At a pH greater than the p119870

119886of acid

more dissociation took place leading to the reduction in theextraction efficiency Therefore it was recommended thatto have an effective separation of acid from the productionmedia the pH of the fermentation broth should be kept ata value less than the p119870

119886of the acid Further a brief review

of the kinetic studies on reactive extraction is summarized inTable 2 to have an overviewof the reactive kinetics of differentcarboxylic acids

221 Kinetic Model A comprehensive study on the theory ofextraction accompanied with chemical reaction in a stirredcell is proposed by Doraiswamy and Sharma [79] in 1984 todetermine the effect of chemical reaction on the specific rateof reaction With the help of the film and renewal theorieswith physico-chemical and hydrodynamic parameters theyhave classified the reactive system into four reaction regimes(very slow slow fast and instantaneous) depending on theirrelative diffusion and reaction rates (Table 3)

The value of physical mass transfer coefficient (119896119871) is

required to confirm the regime of reaction This is obtained

In their second study Tamada and King [56] have inves-tigated the chemical interactions between the componentsby using the results of mass action law analysis and thespectroscopic studies Organic phase is analyzed by infraredspectroscopy to examine the stoichiometry of the acid-aminecomplex They emphasize that there is an ion pair formationbetween the amine and first acid molecule and there is ahydrogen bond formation between the carboxyl of the secondacidmolecule and the carboxylate of the first in the formationof 2 1 complex of acid-amine

In the last part of the study [16] this group has carriedout the coextraction of water with the acids by Alamine 336dissolved in various diluents and found that amine had noeffect on the coextraction of water Water coextraction wasdecreased in the order of 1-octanol gt MIBK gt nitrobenzenegt methylene chloride gt chloroform gt heptane during theextraction of succinic acid Coextraction of water for differentacids is also compared and it is revealed that monocarboxylicacids carry less water than dicarboxylic acids In this studythe effect of the temperature on the reactive extractionof carboxylic acids by Alamine 336 is performed It isobserved that the distribution coefficient decreased withthe increase in the temperature of the system as with theformation of the complex the system became more orderedand entropy decreased Consequently the amount of acidextracted decreased with the increase in temperature FinallyKing and his coworkers regenerated the extractant throughback-extraction by two approaches swing temperature andswing diluent methods

The quaternary amines are first studied by Yang et al[68] They have investigated Alamine 336 and Aliquat 336quaternary amine produced by the methylation of Alamine336 and composed of a large organic cation with a chlorideion dissolved in kerosene or 2-octanol to extract lactic aceticand propionic and butyric acids It has been reported thatwhile Alamine 336 can extract only the undissociated acidAliquat 336 can extract both dissociated and undissociatedacids and always gives higher distribution coefficients thanAlamine 336 at all pH values It is also reported in this studythat the extraction power of Alamine 336 is increased by thepolar diluent 2-octanol On the other hand a diluent effectcould not be detected on the extraction power of Aliquat 336

Prochazka et al [69] have studied trialkylamine a mix-ture of straight chain tertiary amine with 7ndash9 carbon atomsdissolved in themixture of 1-octanol and n-heptane to extractlactic malic and citric acids It is reported that all systemsused in this study are sensitive to temperature and solventcomposition In another study Juang et al [21 70] useda tertiary amine based extractant tri-n-octylamine (TOA)dissolved in xylene to extract succinic and tartaric acids[21 70] They obtained thermodynamic data on extractionand compared extraction equilibria of succinic and tartaricacids with TOA dissolved in xylene They have reported thatthe equilibrium distribution coefficient of the acids extractedwith TOA increases with initial concentration of amine in theorganic phase and of the acid in the aqueous phase TOA hasalso been investigated by Poposka et al [71] as an extractantdissolved in an iso decanoln heptane mixture for extractionequilibria of citric acid The data were obtained as a function

of acid amine and isodecanol concentrations at 298K and anappropriate mathematical model was proposed

Most of the studies on reactive extraction in the literatureare focused on a single acid in the aqueous phase HoweverJuang et al [70] have reported that extraction characteristicsare affected by the presence of more than one acid in theaqueous phase Separation mechanisms of lactic and citricacids in the aqueous phase with TOA dissolved in xylenehave been investigated via the supported liquid membranetechnique They have reported large synergistic effects com-pared to single acid systems for low initial concentrationratio of citric to lactic acid (120572) and an antagonistic effectat 120572 = 2 The presence of the second acid has a positiveeffect on the transport of citric acid but a negative effecton that of the lactic acid Transport rate of the acids alsoincreases with TOA concentration and temperature Newsynergistic extraction system for organic acids was developedby Matsumoto et al [72] The extraction equilibria wereinvestigated for acetic glycolic propionic lactic succinicfumaric malic and itaconic acids by tri-n-octylamine (TOA)andor tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP) dissolved in hexane Itis reported that when a mixture of extractants are used asynergy is developed and a more effective extraction of allorganic acids is achieved

The above studies clearly show that the reaction betweenthe extracted acid and the extractant present in the organicphase is dependent on the corresponding acid and the con-tents of the organic phase To explore the possibilities of reac-tive extraction and its application and commercializationfurther studies are carried out with different carboxylic acidsusing various extractants dissolved in different categoriesof diluents A brief review of these extraction studies issummarized in a tabular form and shown in Table 1 to have aclear understanding of the various reactive systems used

21 EquilibriumModels The theories of equilibria of reactiveextraction are explained in this section The model describesthe physical and chemical phenomena occurring in theextraction process in the mathematical forms They alsoexplain interaction mechanism between the components ofaqueous (acid and water) and organic (extractant andordiluent) phases In these model equations assumption ismade that all the reactions are in thermodynamic equilibriumoccurring at the interface of aqueous and organic phases

211 Mass Action Law Model Equilibrium data are inter-preted byMass Action Law which was proposed by GuldbergandWaage in 1864 Kertes and King in 1986 [3] applied MassAction Law for reactive extraction of carboxylic acids Inthe Mass Action Law model activities of the aqueous andorganic phase species are assumed to be proportional to therespective concentration of the species and the equilibriumconstant takes care of the constant of proportionality or thenonidealities associated with the reactive system Thereforethe apparent equilibrium constant (written in terms of speciesconcentration) is used for the development of mathematicalmodel of the reaction equilibrium This model can be sub-categorized in two types (i) physical extraction where only

diluent (pure form) is used for extraction and (ii) chemicalextraction where both extractant (phosphoric and aminic)and diluent take part in the extraction process

(1) Physical ExtractionThe process of physical equilibria withpure diluent takes place in three parts (i) partial dissociationof the acid molecule in aqueous phase (ii) distribution of theundissociated acid molecule between aqueous and organicphases and (iii) dimerization of undissociated acid moleculein the organic phase

(i) Carboxylic acid can exist in undissociated (HC) anddissociated (Cminus) forms in the aqueous solution of water Thedissociation of the acid in the aqueous solution depends uponthe strength of the acid (p119870

119886) and is described by

HClarrrarr H+ + Cminus (1)

The dissociation constant (119870119886) is calculated using

119870

119886=

[H+] [Cminus][HC]

(2)

The total acid concentration in the aqueous phase (119862HC) andundissociated acid [HC] concentration can be expressed as(3) and (4) respectively

119862HC = [HC] + [Cminus] (3)

[HC] =119862HC

(1 + (119870

119886 [H+]))

(4)

(ii) The distribution of the undissociated acid moleculebetween aqueous and organic phases is represented by (5) andthe corresponding partition coefficient is given by (6)

HClarrrarr HC (5)

119875 =

[HC][HC]

(6)

(iii) The undissociated extracted acid molecules candimerize in the organic phase due to the strong donor-acceptor interaction This is due to the solute-solute inter-action through hydrogen bond which is stronger than thesolute-solvent interactionThe dimerization of the undissoci-ated extracted acid in the organic phase (HC) is representedby

2HClarrrarr (HC)2

(7)

The dimerization constant (119863) is expressed by

119863 =

The extraction efficiency (with pure diluent) of acid iscalculated by the physical distribution coefficient 119870diluent

where 119862diluentHC is the total (undissociated and dimer forms)

concentration of acid in the organic phase and 119862

diluentHC is

the total (dissociated and undissociated) concentration inaqueous phase at equilibrium with pure diluent

For a dilute concentration of acid (as used in this study)119870

diluent119863

in terms of dimerization constant (119863) and partitioncoefficient (119875) can be represented as [3]

[HC] (10)

To estimate the values of physical extraction parameters (119875and119863) the plots of119870diluent

119863

versus [HC] can be fitted linearlyand value of 119875 from the intercept and 119863 from the slope canbe obtained

(2) Chemical Extraction The interaction of acid moleculewith the extractant molecule in the chemical extraction canoccur in two ways (i) through hydrogen bonding of undisso-ciated acid molecule (11) and (ii) by ion pair formation (12)[73]

extractant concentrations and the basicity of the extractantwith respect to the acid (p119870

119861) The extraction of carboxylic

acid by phosphorous based extractants (TBP TOPO etc) canbe described by (11) and that for amine based extractants(TOA Aliquat 336 etc) by both mechanisms (11) and (12)

An equilibrium extraction process is described as a set ofreactions (see (13)) between 119898molecules of acid (HC) and 119899molecules of extractant (S) to form various (119898 119899) complexeswith corresponding apparent equilibrium constant (119870

119864) as

given by (14)

The distribution coefficient (119870119863) can be written as

(15)

Substituting the values of [HC] and [(HC)119898(119878)

The values of equilibrium extraction constant (119870119864) and the

stoichiometry (119898 119899) of the reactive extraction are determinedby minimizing the error between the experimental andpredicted values of119870

119863

The equilibriummodel for the simultaneous formation ofvarious types of acid-extractant complexes (1 1 2 1 3 1 1 2etc) can be represented by a system of equations (see (20)to (23)) depending upon the type of the acid extractant anddiluent and their concentrations used in the experiment

Using experimental results and by applying the mass actionlaw the values of the individual equilibrium constants (119870

11

119870

21 11987031

and 11987012) and the concentration of complexes (C

11

C21 C31 and C

12) can be estimated An objective function

can be defined to determine individual equilibrium constantsbased on experimental values of 119862HC

Now amodel based on the loading ratio (119885) for formationof various types of complexes (1 1 2 1 etc) between acidand extractant can also be described The extent to whichthe organic phase (extractant and diluent) may be loadedwith acid is expressed by the loading ratio It is a ratio ofacid concentration in the organic phase at equilibrium to theinitial extractant concentration in the organic phase ([S]in)

119885 =

119862HC

[S]in

(30)

The value of 119885 depends on the extractability of the acid(strength of the acid-base interaction) and its aqueous con-centration and the stoichiometry of the overall extractionequilibrium It is found that when the organic phase is nothighly concentrated by acid that is at very low loading ratios(119885 lt 05) 1 1 acid-extractant complex is formed A plot of119885(1 minus 119885) versus [HC] yields a straight line passing throughorigin with a slope of complexation constant (119870

by (31)119885

1 minus 119885

= 119870

11[HC] (31)

If the carboxylic acid concentration is high enough (at least119885 gt 05) this relation can be expressed as shown by

119885

119898 minus 119885

= 119870

1198981[HC]119898 (32)

To account for the extraction only by extractant a term isdefined for the distribution of acid by chemical extraction(119870chem119863

) as

119870

chem119863

=

119862HC minus ]119862diluentHC

119862HC

(33)

where ] is the volume fraction of diluent in the organic phaseTherefore the overall distribution coefficient (119870total

119863

) byphysical and chemical extraction is obtained by adding (9)and (33)

In general the diluent alone also solvates some amount ofsolute (acid) from aqueous solution by physical extractionwhich is described in the previous sectionTherefore in sucha case expression for [(HC)

119898(S)119899] is represented as

[(HC)119898(S)119899] = 119862HC minus ]119862

(35)

Therefore (35) could be obtained by including the term forphysical extraction and rewriting (34) as

212 Linear Solvation Energy Relation (LSER) A linearsolvation energy relationship (LSER) approach has beenintroduced by Kamlet et al [74] in 1983 and then improvedby Abraham [75] It characterizes solvation effects in termsof nonspecific and H-bonding interactions Thus a solvationproperty of interest (119883119884119885) for an organic solute is modeledby a linear solvation energy relationship of the form [76]

22 Kinetic Studies on Reactive Extraction of Carboxylic AcidsKinetic studies are equally essential as equilibrium studies forthe complete design of a reactive extraction unit Lewis typestirred cell [78] cylindrical stirring vessel with highly agitatedsystem [50] stirred cell with a microporous hydrophobicmembrane [79] and so forth were used to perform thekinetic studies on the reactive extraction of various carboxylicacids In these studies the investigators have describedand analyzed the kinetic mechanism of reactive extractionusing formal elementary kinetic model a mechanism ofreactions of acid-amine complexes [50] theory of extractionaccompanied by a chemical reaction [79] and so forth Theestimation of the intrinsic kinetic parameters such as rateconstants (forward and backward) and reaction order werealso carried out using experimental data According to theirfindings the reaction between the acid and the extractantnot only depends on the composition of the organic andaqueous phases it also depends on the hydrodynamic param-eters (volume ratio of phases interfacial area and speed ofagitation) of the system which also confirmed the region ofthe (mass transfer controlled or reaction controlled) reactionIn a study by Jun et al [80] in 2007 it was observed that thereaction rates were affected by pH and contamination presentin the aqueous phase At a pH greater than the p119870

119886of acid

more dissociation took place leading to the reduction in theextraction efficiency Therefore it was recommended thatto have an effective separation of acid from the productionmedia the pH of the fermentation broth should be kept ata value less than the p119870

119886of the acid Further a brief review

of the kinetic studies on reactive extraction is summarized inTable 2 to have an overviewof the reactive kinetics of differentcarboxylic acids

221 Kinetic Model A comprehensive study on the theory ofextraction accompanied with chemical reaction in a stirredcell is proposed by Doraiswamy and Sharma [79] in 1984 todetermine the effect of chemical reaction on the specific rateof reaction With the help of the film and renewal theorieswith physico-chemical and hydrodynamic parameters theyhave classified the reactive system into four reaction regimes(very slow slow fast and instantaneous) depending on theirrelative diffusion and reaction rates (Table 3)

The value of physical mass transfer coefficient (119896119871) is

required to confirm the regime of reaction This is obtained

diluent (pure form) is used for extraction and (ii) chemicalextraction where both extractant (phosphoric and aminic)and diluent take part in the extraction process

(1) Physical ExtractionThe process of physical equilibria withpure diluent takes place in three parts (i) partial dissociationof the acid molecule in aqueous phase (ii) distribution of theundissociated acid molecule between aqueous and organicphases and (iii) dimerization of undissociated acid moleculein the organic phase

(i) Carboxylic acid can exist in undissociated (HC) anddissociated (Cminus) forms in the aqueous solution of water Thedissociation of the acid in the aqueous solution depends uponthe strength of the acid (p119870

119886) and is described by

HClarrrarr H+ + Cminus (1)

The dissociation constant (119870119886) is calculated using

119870

119886=

[H+] [Cminus][HC]

(2)

The total acid concentration in the aqueous phase (119862HC) andundissociated acid [HC] concentration can be expressed as(3) and (4) respectively

119862HC = [HC] + [Cminus] (3)

[HC] =119862HC

(1 + (119870

119886 [H+]))

(4)

(ii) The distribution of the undissociated acid moleculebetween aqueous and organic phases is represented by (5) andthe corresponding partition coefficient is given by (6)

HClarrrarr HC (5)

119875 =

[HC][HC]

(6)

(iii) The undissociated extracted acid molecules candimerize in the organic phase due to the strong donor-acceptor interaction This is due to the solute-solute inter-action through hydrogen bond which is stronger than thesolute-solvent interactionThe dimerization of the undissoci-ated extracted acid in the organic phase (HC) is representedby

2HClarrrarr (HC)2

(7)

The dimerization constant (119863) is expressed by

119863 =

(HC)2

(HC)2

(8)

The extraction efficiency (with pure diluent) of acid iscalculated by the physical distribution coefficient 119870diluent

where 119862diluentHC is the total (undissociated and dimer forms)

concentration of acid in the organic phase and 119862

diluentHC is

the total (dissociated and undissociated) concentration inaqueous phase at equilibrium with pure diluent

For a dilute concentration of acid (as used in this study)119870

diluent119863

in terms of dimerization constant (119863) and partitioncoefficient (119875) can be represented as [3]

[HC] (10)

To estimate the values of physical extraction parameters (119875and119863) the plots of119870diluent

119863

versus [HC] can be fitted linearlyand value of 119875 from the intercept and 119863 from the slope canbe obtained

(2) Chemical Extraction The interaction of acid moleculewith the extractant molecule in the chemical extraction canoccur in two ways (i) through hydrogen bonding of undisso-ciated acid molecule (11) and (ii) by ion pair formation (12)[73]

HC + Slarrrarr (HC) (S) (11)

H+ + Cminus + Slarrrarr H+CminusS (12)

The extractionmechanism described in (11) and (12) dependson the pH of aqueous solution p119870

119886of acid the acid and

extractant concentrations and the basicity of the extractantwith respect to the acid (p119870

119861) The extraction of carboxylic

acid by phosphorous based extractants (TBP TOPO etc) canbe described by (11) and that for amine based extractants(TOA Aliquat 336 etc) by both mechanisms (11) and (12)

An equilibrium extraction process is described as a set ofreactions (see (13)) between 119898molecules of acid (HC) and 119899molecules of extractant (S) to form various (119898 119899) complexeswith corresponding apparent equilibrium constant (119870

119864) as

given by (14)

(15)

Substituting the values of [HC] and [(HC)119898(119878)

The values of equilibrium extraction constant (119870119864) and the

stoichiometry (119898 119899) of the reactive extraction are determinedby minimizing the error between the experimental andpredicted values of119870

119863

The equilibriummodel for the simultaneous formation ofvarious types of acid-extractant complexes (1 1 2 1 3 1 1 2etc) can be represented by a system of equations (see (20)to (23)) depending upon the type of the acid extractant anddiluent and their concentrations used in the experiment

Using experimental results and by applying the mass actionlaw the values of the individual equilibrium constants (119870

11

119870

21 11987031

and 11987012) and the concentration of complexes (C

11

C21 C31 and C

12) can be estimated An objective function

can be defined to determine individual equilibrium constantsbased on experimental values of 119862HC

Now amodel based on the loading ratio (119885) for formationof various types of complexes (1 1 2 1 etc) between acidand extractant can also be described The extent to whichthe organic phase (extractant and diluent) may be loadedwith acid is expressed by the loading ratio It is a ratio ofacid concentration in the organic phase at equilibrium to theinitial extractant concentration in the organic phase ([S]in)

119885 =

119862HC

[S]in

(30)

The value of 119885 depends on the extractability of the acid(strength of the acid-base interaction) and its aqueous con-centration and the stoichiometry of the overall extractionequilibrium It is found that when the organic phase is nothighly concentrated by acid that is at very low loading ratios(119885 lt 05) 1 1 acid-extractant complex is formed A plot of119885(1 minus 119885) versus [HC] yields a straight line passing throughorigin with a slope of complexation constant (119870

11) as given

by (31)119885

1 minus 119885

= 119870

11[HC] (31)

If the carboxylic acid concentration is high enough (at least119885 gt 05) this relation can be expressed as shown by

119885

119898 minus 119885

= 119870

1198981[HC]119898 (32)

To account for the extraction only by extractant a term isdefined for the distribution of acid by chemical extraction(119870chem119863

) as

119870

chem119863

=

119862HC minus ]119862diluentHC

119862HC

(33)

where ] is the volume fraction of diluent in the organic phaseTherefore the overall distribution coefficient (119870total

119863

) byphysical and chemical extraction is obtained by adding (9)and (33)

119870

total119863

= ]119870diluent119863

chem119863

(34)

Journal of Chemistry 11

In general the diluent alone also solvates some amount ofsolute (acid) from aqueous solution by physical extractionwhich is described in the previous sectionTherefore in sucha case expression for [(HC)

119898(S)119899] is represented as

[(HC)119898(S)119899] = 119862HC minus ]119862

diluentHC

(35)

Therefore (35) could be obtained by including the term forphysical extraction and rewriting (34) as

119870

119898119899[HC]119898 =

119862HC minus ]119862diluentHC

212 Linear Solvation Energy Relation (LSER) A linearsolvation energy relationship (LSER) approach has beenintroduced by Kamlet et al [74] in 1983 and then improvedby Abraham [75] It characterizes solvation effects in termsof nonspecific and H-bonding interactions Thus a solvationproperty of interest (119883119884119885) for an organic solute is modeledby a linear solvation energy relationship of the form [76]

22 Kinetic Studies on Reactive Extraction of Carboxylic AcidsKinetic studies are equally essential as equilibrium studies forthe complete design of a reactive extraction unit Lewis typestirred cell [78] cylindrical stirring vessel with highly agitatedsystem [50] stirred cell with a microporous hydrophobicmembrane [79] and so forth were used to perform thekinetic studies on the reactive extraction of various carboxylicacids In these studies the investigators have describedand analyzed the kinetic mechanism of reactive extractionusing formal elementary kinetic model a mechanism ofreactions of acid-amine complexes [50] theory of extractionaccompanied by a chemical reaction [79] and so forth Theestimation of the intrinsic kinetic parameters such as rateconstants (forward and backward) and reaction order werealso carried out using experimental data According to theirfindings the reaction between the acid and the extractantnot only depends on the composition of the organic andaqueous phases it also depends on the hydrodynamic param-eters (volume ratio of phases interfacial area and speed ofagitation) of the system which also confirmed the region ofthe (mass transfer controlled or reaction controlled) reactionIn a study by Jun et al [80] in 2007 it was observed that thereaction rates were affected by pH and contamination presentin the aqueous phase At a pH greater than the p119870

119886of acid

more dissociation took place leading to the reduction in theextraction efficiency Therefore it was recommended thatto have an effective separation of acid from the productionmedia the pH of the fermentation broth should be kept ata value less than the p119870

119886of the acid Further a brief review

of the kinetic studies on reactive extraction is summarized inTable 2 to have an overviewof the reactive kinetics of differentcarboxylic acids

221 Kinetic Model A comprehensive study on the theory ofextraction accompanied with chemical reaction in a stirredcell is proposed by Doraiswamy and Sharma [79] in 1984 todetermine the effect of chemical reaction on the specific rateof reaction With the help of the film and renewal theorieswith physico-chemical and hydrodynamic parameters theyhave classified the reactive system into four reaction regimes(very slow slow fast and instantaneous) depending on theirrelative diffusion and reaction rates (Table 3)

The value of physical mass transfer coefficient (119896119871) is

required to confirm the regime of reaction This is obtained

diluent (pure form) is used for extraction and (ii) chemicalextraction where both extractant (phosphoric and aminic)and diluent take part in the extraction process

(1) Physical ExtractionThe process of physical equilibria withpure diluent takes place in three parts (i) partial dissociationof the acid molecule in aqueous phase (ii) distribution of theundissociated acid molecule between aqueous and organicphases and (iii) dimerization of undissociated acid moleculein the organic phase

(i) Carboxylic acid can exist in undissociated (HC) anddissociated (Cminus) forms in the aqueous solution of water Thedissociation of the acid in the aqueous solution depends uponthe strength of the acid (p119870

119886) and is described by

HClarrrarr H+ + Cminus (1)

The dissociation constant (119870119886) is calculated using

119870

119886=

[H+] [Cminus][HC]

(2)

The total acid concentration in the aqueous phase (119862HC) andundissociated acid [HC] concentration can be expressed as(3) and (4) respectively

119862HC = [HC] + [Cminus] (3)

[HC] =119862HC

(1 + (119870

119886 [H+]))

(4)

(ii) The distribution of the undissociated acid moleculebetween aqueous and organic phases is represented by (5) andthe corresponding partition coefficient is given by (6)

HClarrrarr HC (5)

119875 =

[HC][HC]

(6)

(iii) The undissociated extracted acid molecules candimerize in the organic phase due to the strong donor-acceptor interaction This is due to the solute-solute inter-action through hydrogen bond which is stronger than thesolute-solvent interactionThe dimerization of the undissoci-ated extracted acid in the organic phase (HC) is representedby

2HClarrrarr (HC)2

(7)

The dimerization constant (119863) is expressed by

119863 =

(HC)2

(HC)2

(8)

The extraction efficiency (with pure diluent) of acid iscalculated by the physical distribution coefficient 119870diluent

(9)

where 119862diluentHC is the total (undissociated and dimer forms)

concentration of acid in the organic phase and 119862

diluentHC is

the total (dissociated and undissociated) concentration inaqueous phase at equilibrium with pure diluent

For a dilute concentration of acid (as used in this study)119870

diluent119863

in terms of dimerization constant (119863) and partitioncoefficient (119875) can be represented as [3]

119870

diluent119863

= 119875 + 2119863119875

[HC] (10)

To estimate the values of physical extraction parameters (119875and119863) the plots of119870diluent

119863

versus [HC] can be fitted linearlyand value of 119875 from the intercept and 119863 from the slope canbe obtained

(2) Chemical Extraction The interaction of acid moleculewith the extractant molecule in the chemical extraction canoccur in two ways (i) through hydrogen bonding of undisso-ciated acid molecule (11) and (ii) by ion pair formation (12)[73]

HC + Slarrrarr (HC) (S) (11)

H+ + Cminus + Slarrrarr H+CminusS (12)

The extractionmechanism described in (11) and (12) dependson the pH of aqueous solution p119870

119886of acid the acid and

extractant concentrations and the basicity of the extractantwith respect to the acid (p119870

119861) The extraction of carboxylic

acid by phosphorous based extractants (TBP TOPO etc) canbe described by (11) and that for amine based extractants(TOA Aliquat 336 etc) by both mechanisms (11) and (12)

An equilibrium extraction process is described as a set ofreactions (see (13)) between 119898molecules of acid (HC) and 119899molecules of extractant (S) to form various (119898 119899) complexeswith corresponding apparent equilibrium constant (119870

119864) as

given by (14)

]

[HC]119898 [S]119899 (14)

The distribution coefficient (119870119863) can be written as

119870

119863=

119862HC119862HC

= 119898

[(HC)119898(119878)

119899

]

119862HC

(15)

Substituting the values of [HC] and [(HC)119898(119878)

119899

] from (4) and(15) respectively in (14) results in

119870

The values of equilibrium extraction constant (119870119864) and the

stoichiometry (119898 119899) of the reactive extraction are determinedby minimizing the error between the experimental andpredicted values of119870

119863

The equilibriummodel for the simultaneous formation ofvarious types of acid-extractant complexes (1 1 2 1 3 1 1 2etc) can be represented by a system of equations (see (20)to (23)) depending upon the type of the acid extractant anddiluent and their concentrations used in the experiment

Using experimental results and by applying the mass actionlaw the values of the individual equilibrium constants (119870

and 11987012) and the concentration of complexes (C

12) can be estimated An objective function

can be defined to determine individual equilibrium constantsbased on experimental values of 119862HC

Now amodel based on the loading ratio (119885) for formationof various types of complexes (1 1 2 1 etc) between acidand extractant can also be described The extent to whichthe organic phase (extractant and diluent) may be loadedwith acid is expressed by the loading ratio It is a ratio ofacid concentration in the organic phase at equilibrium to theinitial extractant concentration in the organic phase ([S]in)

119885 =

119862HC

[S]in

(30)

The value of 119885 depends on the extractability of the acid(strength of the acid-base interaction) and its aqueous con-centration and the stoichiometry of the overall extractionequilibrium It is found that when the organic phase is nothighly concentrated by acid that is at very low loading ratios(119885 lt 05) 1 1 acid-extractant complex is formed A plot of119885(1 minus 119885) versus [HC] yields a straight line passing throughorigin with a slope of complexation constant (119870

If the carboxylic acid concentration is high enough (at least119885 gt 05) this relation can be expressed as shown by

To account for the extraction only by extractant a term isdefined for the distribution of acid by chemical extraction(119870chem119863

119862HC minus ]119862diluentHC

where ] is the volume fraction of diluent in the organic phaseTherefore the overall distribution coefficient (119870total

In general the diluent alone also solvates some amount ofsolute (acid) from aqueous solution by physical extractionwhich is described in the previous sectionTherefore in sucha case expression for [(HC)

[(HC)119898(S)119899] = 119862HC minus ]119862

212 Linear Solvation Energy Relation (LSER) A linearsolvation energy relationship (LSER) approach has beenintroduced by Kamlet et al [74] in 1983 and then improvedby Abraham [75] It characterizes solvation effects in termsof nonspecific and H-bonding interactions Thus a solvationproperty of interest (119883119884119885) for an organic solute is modeledby a linear solvation energy relationship of the form [76]

22 Kinetic Studies on Reactive Extraction of Carboxylic AcidsKinetic studies are equally essential as equilibrium studies forthe complete design of a reactive extraction unit Lewis typestirred cell [78] cylindrical stirring vessel with highly agitatedsystem [50] stirred cell with a microporous hydrophobicmembrane [79] and so forth were used to perform thekinetic studies on the reactive extraction of various carboxylicacids In these studies the investigators have describedand analyzed the kinetic mechanism of reactive extractionusing formal elementary kinetic model a mechanism ofreactions of acid-amine complexes [50] theory of extractionaccompanied by a chemical reaction [79] and so forth Theestimation of the intrinsic kinetic parameters such as rateconstants (forward and backward) and reaction order werealso carried out using experimental data According to theirfindings the reaction between the acid and the extractantnot only depends on the composition of the organic andaqueous phases it also depends on the hydrodynamic param-eters (volume ratio of phases interfacial area and speed ofagitation) of the system which also confirmed the region ofthe (mass transfer controlled or reaction controlled) reactionIn a study by Jun et al [80] in 2007 it was observed that thereaction rates were affected by pH and contamination presentin the aqueous phase At a pH greater than the p119870

119886of acid

more dissociation took place leading to the reduction in theextraction efficiency Therefore it was recommended thatto have an effective separation of acid from the productionmedia the pH of the fermentation broth should be kept ata value less than the p119870

119886of the acid Further a brief review

of the kinetic studies on reactive extraction is summarized inTable 2 to have an overviewof the reactive kinetics of differentcarboxylic acids

221 Kinetic Model A comprehensive study on the theory ofextraction accompanied with chemical reaction in a stirredcell is proposed by Doraiswamy and Sharma [79] in 1984 todetermine the effect of chemical reaction on the specific rateof reaction With the help of the film and renewal theorieswith physico-chemical and hydrodynamic parameters theyhave classified the reactive system into four reaction regimes(very slow slow fast and instantaneous) depending on theirrelative diffusion and reaction rates (Table 3)

The value of physical mass transfer coefficient (119896119871) is

required to confirm the regime of reaction This is obtained

diluent (pure form) is used for extraction and (ii) chemicalextraction where both extractant (phosphoric and aminic)and diluent take part in the extraction process

(1) Physical ExtractionThe process of physical equilibria withpure diluent takes place in three parts (i) partial dissociationof the acid molecule in aqueous phase (ii) distribution of theundissociated acid molecule between aqueous and organicphases and (iii) dimerization of undissociated acid moleculein the organic phase

(i) Carboxylic acid can exist in undissociated (HC) anddissociated (Cminus) forms in the aqueous solution of water Thedissociation of the acid in the aqueous solution depends uponthe strength of the acid (p119870

119886) and is described by

HClarrrarr H+ + Cminus (1)

The dissociation constant (119870119886) is calculated using

119870

119886=

[H+] [Cminus][HC]

(2)

The total acid concentration in the aqueous phase (119862HC) andundissociated acid [HC] concentration can be expressed as(3) and (4) respectively

119862HC = [HC] + [Cminus] (3)

[HC] =119862HC

(1 + (119870

119886 [H+]))

(4)

(ii) The distribution of the undissociated acid moleculebetween aqueous and organic phases is represented by (5) andthe corresponding partition coefficient is given by (6)

HClarrrarr HC (5)

119875 =

[HC][HC]

(6)

(iii) The undissociated extracted acid molecules candimerize in the organic phase due to the strong donor-acceptor interaction This is due to the solute-solute inter-action through hydrogen bond which is stronger than thesolute-solvent interactionThe dimerization of the undissoci-ated extracted acid in the organic phase (HC) is representedby

2HClarrrarr (HC)2

(7)

The dimerization constant (119863) is expressed by

119863 =

(HC)2

(HC)2

(8)

The extraction efficiency (with pure diluent) of acid iscalculated by the physical distribution coefficient 119870diluent

where 119862diluentHC is the total (undissociated and dimer forms)

concentration of acid in the organic phase and 119862

diluentHC is

the total (dissociated and undissociated) concentration inaqueous phase at equilibrium with pure diluent

For a dilute concentration of acid (as used in this study)119870

diluent119863

in terms of dimerization constant (119863) and partitioncoefficient (119875) can be represented as [3]

119870

diluent119863

= 119875 + 2119863119875

[HC] (10)

To estimate the values of physical extraction parameters (119875and119863) the plots of119870diluent

119863

versus [HC] can be fitted linearlyand value of 119875 from the intercept and 119863 from the slope canbe obtained

(2) Chemical Extraction The interaction of acid moleculewith the extractant molecule in the chemical extraction canoccur in two ways (i) through hydrogen bonding of undisso-ciated acid molecule (11) and (ii) by ion pair formation (12)[73]

HC + Slarrrarr (HC) (S) (11)

H+ + Cminus + Slarrrarr H+CminusS (12)

The extractionmechanism described in (11) and (12) dependson the pH of aqueous solution p119870

119886of acid the acid and

extractant concentrations and the basicity of the extractantwith respect to the acid (p119870

119861) The extraction of carboxylic

acid by phosphorous based extractants (TBP TOPO etc) canbe described by (11) and that for amine based extractants(TOA Aliquat 336 etc) by both mechanisms (11) and (12)

An equilibrium extraction process is described as a set ofreactions (see (13)) between 119898molecules of acid (HC) and 119899molecules of extractant (S) to form various (119898 119899) complexeswith corresponding apparent equilibrium constant (119870

119864) as

given by (14)

[HC]119898 [S]119899 (14)

The distribution coefficient (119870119863) can be written as

119870

119863=

= 119898

[(HC)119898(119878)

119862HC

(15)

Substituting the values of [HC] and [(HC)119898(119878)

119899

119870

The values of equilibrium extraction constant (119870119864) and the

stoichiometry (119898 119899) of the reactive extraction are determinedby minimizing the error between the experimental andpredicted values of119870

119863

The equilibriummodel for the simultaneous formation ofvarious types of acid-extractant complexes (1 1 2 1 3 1 1 2etc) can be represented by a system of equations (see (20)to (23)) depending upon the type of the acid extractant anddiluent and their concentrations used in the experiment

Using experimental results and by applying the mass actionlaw the values of the individual equilibrium constants (119870

and 11987012) and the concentration of complexes (C

11

C21 C31 and C

12) can be estimated An objective function

can be defined to determine individual equilibrium constantsbased on experimental values of 119862HC

Now amodel based on the loading ratio (119885) for formationof various types of complexes (1 1 2 1 etc) between acidand extractant can also be described The extent to whichthe organic phase (extractant and diluent) may be loadedwith acid is expressed by the loading ratio It is a ratio ofacid concentration in the organic phase at equilibrium to theinitial extractant concentration in the organic phase ([S]in)

119885 =

119862HC

[S]in

(30)

The value of 119885 depends on the extractability of the acid(strength of the acid-base interaction) and its aqueous con-centration and the stoichiometry of the overall extractionequilibrium It is found that when the organic phase is nothighly concentrated by acid that is at very low loading ratios(119885 lt 05) 1 1 acid-extractant complex is formed A plot of119885(1 minus 119885) versus [HC] yields a straight line passing throughorigin with a slope of complexation constant (119870

If the carboxylic acid concentration is high enough (at least119885 gt 05) this relation can be expressed as shown by

119898 minus 119885

= 119870

1198981[HC]119898 (32)

To account for the extraction only by extractant a term isdefined for the distribution of acid by chemical extraction(119870chem119863

119870

=

119862HC minus ]119862diluentHC

(33)

where ] is the volume fraction of diluent in the organic phaseTherefore the overall distribution coefficient (119870total

In general the diluent alone also solvates some amount ofsolute (acid) from aqueous solution by physical extractionwhich is described in the previous sectionTherefore in sucha case expression for [(HC)

[(HC)119898(S)119899] = 119862HC minus ]119862

212 Linear Solvation Energy Relation (LSER) A linearsolvation energy relationship (LSER) approach has beenintroduced by Kamlet et al [74] in 1983 and then improvedby Abraham [75] It characterizes solvation effects in termsof nonspecific and H-bonding interactions Thus a solvationproperty of interest (119883119884119885) for an organic solute is modeledby a linear solvation energy relationship of the form [76]

22 Kinetic Studies on Reactive Extraction of Carboxylic AcidsKinetic studies are equally essential as equilibrium studies forthe complete design of a reactive extraction unit Lewis typestirred cell [78] cylindrical stirring vessel with highly agitatedsystem [50] stirred cell with a microporous hydrophobicmembrane [79] and so forth were used to perform thekinetic studies on the reactive extraction of various carboxylicacids In these studies the investigators have describedand analyzed the kinetic mechanism of reactive extractionusing formal elementary kinetic model a mechanism ofreactions of acid-amine complexes [50] theory of extractionaccompanied by a chemical reaction [79] and so forth Theestimation of the intrinsic kinetic parameters such as rateconstants (forward and backward) and reaction order werealso carried out using experimental data According to theirfindings the reaction between the acid and the extractantnot only depends on the composition of the organic andaqueous phases it also depends on the hydrodynamic param-eters (volume ratio of phases interfacial area and speed ofagitation) of the system which also confirmed the region ofthe (mass transfer controlled or reaction controlled) reactionIn a study by Jun et al [80] in 2007 it was observed that thereaction rates were affected by pH and contamination presentin the aqueous phase At a pH greater than the p119870

119886of acid

more dissociation took place leading to the reduction in theextraction efficiency Therefore it was recommended thatto have an effective separation of acid from the productionmedia the pH of the fermentation broth should be kept ata value less than the p119870

119886of the acid Further a brief review

of the kinetic studies on reactive extraction is summarized inTable 2 to have an overviewof the reactive kinetics of differentcarboxylic acids

221 Kinetic Model A comprehensive study on the theory ofextraction accompanied with chemical reaction in a stirredcell is proposed by Doraiswamy and Sharma [79] in 1984 todetermine the effect of chemical reaction on the specific rateof reaction With the help of the film and renewal theorieswith physico-chemical and hydrodynamic parameters theyhave classified the reactive system into four reaction regimes(very slow slow fast and instantaneous) depending on theirrelative diffusion and reaction rates (Table 3)

The value of physical mass transfer coefficient (119896119871) is

required to confirm the regime of reaction This is obtained

diluent (pure form) is used for extraction and (ii) chemicalextraction where both extractant (phosphoric and aminic)and diluent take part in the extraction process

(1) Physical ExtractionThe process of physical equilibria withpure diluent takes place in three parts (i) partial dissociationof the acid molecule in aqueous phase (ii) distribution of theundissociated acid molecule between aqueous and organicphases and (iii) dimerization of undissociated acid moleculein the organic phase

(i) Carboxylic acid can exist in undissociated (HC) anddissociated (Cminus) forms in the aqueous solution of water Thedissociation of the acid in the aqueous solution depends uponthe strength of the acid (p119870

119886) and is described by

HClarrrarr H+ + Cminus (1)

The dissociation constant (119870119886) is calculated using

119870

119886=

[H+] [Cminus][HC]

(2)

The total acid concentration in the aqueous phase (119862HC) andundissociated acid [HC] concentration can be expressed as(3) and (4) respectively

119862HC = [HC] + [Cminus] (3)

[HC] =119862HC

(1 + (119870

119886 [H+]))

(4)

(ii) The distribution of the undissociated acid moleculebetween aqueous and organic phases is represented by (5) andthe corresponding partition coefficient is given by (6)

HClarrrarr HC (5)

119875 =

[HC][HC]

(6)

(iii) The undissociated extracted acid molecules candimerize in the organic phase due to the strong donor-acceptor interaction This is due to the solute-solute inter-action through hydrogen bond which is stronger than thesolute-solvent interactionThe dimerization of the undissoci-ated extracted acid in the organic phase (HC) is representedby

2HClarrrarr (HC)2

(7)

The dimerization constant (119863) is expressed by

119863 =

(HC)2

(HC)2

(8)

The extraction efficiency (with pure diluent) of acid iscalculated by the physical distribution coefficient 119870diluent

where 119862diluentHC is the total (undissociated and dimer forms)

concentration of acid in the organic phase and 119862

diluentHC is

the total (dissociated and undissociated) concentration inaqueous phase at equilibrium with pure diluent

For a dilute concentration of acid (as used in this study)119870

diluent119863

in terms of dimerization constant (119863) and partitioncoefficient (119875) can be represented as [3]

119870

[HC] (10)

To estimate the values of physical extraction parameters (119875and119863) the plots of119870diluent

119863

versus [HC] can be fitted linearlyand value of 119875 from the intercept and 119863 from the slope canbe obtained

(2) Chemical Extraction The interaction of acid moleculewith the extractant molecule in the chemical extraction canoccur in two ways (i) through hydrogen bonding of undisso-ciated acid molecule (11) and (ii) by ion pair formation (12)[73]

The extractionmechanism described in (11) and (12) dependson the pH of aqueous solution p119870

119886of acid the acid and

extractant concentrations and the basicity of the extractantwith respect to the acid (p119870

119861) The extraction of carboxylic

acid by phosphorous based extractants (TBP TOPO etc) canbe described by (11) and that for amine based extractants(TOA Aliquat 336 etc) by both mechanisms (11) and (12)

An equilibrium extraction process is described as a set ofreactions (see (13)) between 119898molecules of acid (HC) and 119899molecules of extractant (S) to form various (119898 119899) complexeswith corresponding apparent equilibrium constant (119870

119864) as

Substituting the values of [HC] and [(HC)119898(119878)

The values of equilibrium extraction constant (119870119864) and the

stoichiometry (119898 119899) of the reactive extraction are determinedby minimizing the error between the experimental andpredicted values of119870

119863

The equilibriummodel for the simultaneous formation ofvarious types of acid-extractant complexes (1 1 2 1 3 1 1 2etc) can be represented by a system of equations (see (20)to (23)) depending upon the type of the acid extractant anddiluent and their concentrations used in the experiment

Using experimental results and by applying the mass actionlaw the values of the individual equilibrium constants (119870

119870

and 11987012) and the concentration of complexes (C

11

C21 C31 and C

12) can be estimated An objective function

can be defined to determine individual equilibrium constantsbased on experimental values of 119862HC

Now amodel based on the loading ratio (119885) for formationof various types of complexes (1 1 2 1 etc) between acidand extractant can also be described The extent to whichthe organic phase (extractant and diluent) may be loadedwith acid is expressed by the loading ratio It is a ratio ofacid concentration in the organic phase at equilibrium to theinitial extractant concentration in the organic phase ([S]in)

119885 =

119862HC

[S]in

(30)

The value of 119885 depends on the extractability of the acid(strength of the acid-base interaction) and its aqueous con-centration and the stoichiometry of the overall extractionequilibrium It is found that when the organic phase is nothighly concentrated by acid that is at very low loading ratios(119885 lt 05) 1 1 acid-extractant complex is formed A plot of119885(1 minus 119885) versus [HC] yields a straight line passing throughorigin with a slope of complexation constant (119870

In general the diluent alone also solvates some amount ofsolute (acid) from aqueous solution by physical extractionwhich is described in the previous sectionTherefore in sucha case expression for [(HC)

[(HC)119898(S)119899] = 119862HC minus ]119862

212 Linear Solvation Energy Relation (LSER) A linearsolvation energy relationship (LSER) approach has beenintroduced by Kamlet et al [74] in 1983 and then improvedby Abraham [75] It characterizes solvation effects in termsof nonspecific and H-bonding interactions Thus a solvationproperty of interest (119883119884119885) for an organic solute is modeledby a linear solvation energy relationship of the form [76]

22 Kinetic Studies on Reactive Extraction of Carboxylic AcidsKinetic studies are equally essential as equilibrium studies forthe complete design of a reactive extraction unit Lewis typestirred cell [78] cylindrical stirring vessel with highly agitatedsystem [50] stirred cell with a microporous hydrophobicmembrane [79] and so forth were used to perform thekinetic studies on the reactive extraction of various carboxylicacids In these studies the investigators have describedand analyzed the kinetic mechanism of reactive extractionusing formal elementary kinetic model a mechanism ofreactions of acid-amine complexes [50] theory of extractionaccompanied by a chemical reaction [79] and so forth Theestimation of the intrinsic kinetic parameters such as rateconstants (forward and backward) and reaction order werealso carried out using experimental data According to theirfindings the reaction between the acid and the extractantnot only depends on the composition of the organic andaqueous phases it also depends on the hydrodynamic param-eters (volume ratio of phases interfacial area and speed ofagitation) of the system which also confirmed the region ofthe (mass transfer controlled or reaction controlled) reactionIn a study by Jun et al [80] in 2007 it was observed that thereaction rates were affected by pH and contamination presentin the aqueous phase At a pH greater than the p119870

119886of acid

more dissociation took place leading to the reduction in theextraction efficiency Therefore it was recommended thatto have an effective separation of acid from the productionmedia the pH of the fermentation broth should be kept ata value less than the p119870

119886of the acid Further a brief review

of the kinetic studies on reactive extraction is summarized inTable 2 to have an overviewof the reactive kinetics of differentcarboxylic acids

221 Kinetic Model A comprehensive study on the theory ofextraction accompanied with chemical reaction in a stirredcell is proposed by Doraiswamy and Sharma [79] in 1984 todetermine the effect of chemical reaction on the specific rateof reaction With the help of the film and renewal theorieswith physico-chemical and hydrodynamic parameters theyhave classified the reactive system into four reaction regimes(very slow slow fast and instantaneous) depending on theirrelative diffusion and reaction rates (Table 3)

The value of physical mass transfer coefficient (119896119871) is

required to confirm the regime of reaction This is obtained

diluent (pure form) is used for extraction and (ii) chemicalextraction where both extractant (phosphoric and aminic)and diluent take part in the extraction process

(1) Physical ExtractionThe process of physical equilibria withpure diluent takes place in three parts (i) partial dissociationof the acid molecule in aqueous phase (ii) distribution of theundissociated acid molecule between aqueous and organicphases and (iii) dimerization of undissociated acid moleculein the organic phase

(i) Carboxylic acid can exist in undissociated (HC) anddissociated (Cminus) forms in the aqueous solution of water Thedissociation of the acid in the aqueous solution depends uponthe strength of the acid (p119870

119886) and is described by

HClarrrarr H+ + Cminus (1)

The dissociation constant (119870119886) is calculated using

119870

119886=

[H+] [Cminus][HC]

(2)

The total acid concentration in the aqueous phase (119862HC) andundissociated acid [HC] concentration can be expressed as(3) and (4) respectively

119862HC = [HC] + [Cminus] (3)

[HC] =119862HC

(1 + (119870

(ii) The distribution of the undissociated acid moleculebetween aqueous and organic phases is represented by (5) andthe corresponding partition coefficient is given by (6)

HClarrrarr HC (5)

119875 =

[HC][HC]

(6)

(iii) The undissociated extracted acid molecules candimerize in the organic phase due to the strong donor-acceptor interaction This is due to the solute-solute inter-action through hydrogen bond which is stronger than thesolute-solvent interactionThe dimerization of the undissoci-ated extracted acid in the organic phase (HC) is representedby

2HClarrrarr (HC)2

(7)

The dimerization constant (119863) is expressed by

119863 =

where 119862diluentHC is the total (undissociated and dimer forms)

concentration of acid in the organic phase and 119862

diluentHC is

the total (dissociated and undissociated) concentration inaqueous phase at equilibrium with pure diluent

For a dilute concentration of acid (as used in this study)119870

diluent119863

in terms of dimerization constant (119863) and partitioncoefficient (119875) can be represented as [3]

[HC] (10)

To estimate the values of physical extraction parameters (119875and119863) the plots of119870diluent

119863

versus [HC] can be fitted linearlyand value of 119875 from the intercept and 119863 from the slope canbe obtained

(2) Chemical Extraction The interaction of acid moleculewith the extractant molecule in the chemical extraction canoccur in two ways (i) through hydrogen bonding of undisso-ciated acid molecule (11) and (ii) by ion pair formation (12)[73]

The extractionmechanism described in (11) and (12) dependson the pH of aqueous solution p119870

119886of acid the acid and

extractant concentrations and the basicity of the extractantwith respect to the acid (p119870

119861) The extraction of carboxylic

acid by phosphorous based extractants (TBP TOPO etc) canbe described by (11) and that for amine based extractants(TOA Aliquat 336 etc) by both mechanisms (11) and (12)

An equilibrium extraction process is described as a set ofreactions (see (13)) between 119898molecules of acid (HC) and 119899molecules of extractant (S) to form various (119898 119899) complexeswith corresponding apparent equilibrium constant (119870

given by (14)

Substituting the values of [HC] and [(HC)119898(119878)

The values of equilibrium extraction constant (119870119864) and the

stoichiometry (119898 119899) of the reactive extraction are determinedby minimizing the error between the experimental andpredicted values of119870

The equilibriummodel for the simultaneous formation ofvarious types of acid-extractant complexes (1 1 2 1 3 1 1 2etc) can be represented by a system of equations (see (20)to (23)) depending upon the type of the acid extractant anddiluent and their concentrations used in the experiment

Using experimental results and by applying the mass actionlaw the values of the individual equilibrium constants (119870

119870

21 11987031

and 11987012) and the concentration of complexes (C

11

C21 C31 and C

12) can be estimated An objective function

can be defined to determine individual equilibrium constantsbased on experimental values of 119862HC

Now amodel based on the loading ratio (119885) for formationof various types of complexes (1 1 2 1 etc) between acidand extractant can also be described The extent to whichthe organic phase (extractant and diluent) may be loadedwith acid is expressed by the loading ratio It is a ratio ofacid concentration in the organic phase at equilibrium to theinitial extractant concentration in the organic phase ([S]in)

119885 =

119862HC

[S]in

(30)

The value of 119885 depends on the extractability of the acid(strength of the acid-base interaction) and its aqueous con-centration and the stoichiometry of the overall extractionequilibrium It is found that when the organic phase is nothighly concentrated by acid that is at very low loading ratios(119885 lt 05) 1 1 acid-extractant complex is formed A plot of119885(1 minus 119885) versus [HC] yields a straight line passing throughorigin with a slope of complexation constant (119870

by (31)119885

1 minus 119885

= 119870

11[HC] (31)

If the carboxylic acid concentration is high enough (at least119885 gt 05) this relation can be expressed as shown by

119885

119898 minus 119885

= 119870

1198981[HC]119898 (32)

To account for the extraction only by extractant a term isdefined for the distribution of acid by chemical extraction(119870chem119863

) as

119870

chem119863

=

119862HC minus ]119862diluentHC

119862HC

(33)

where ] is the volume fraction of diluent in the organic phaseTherefore the overall distribution coefficient (119870total

119863

) byphysical and chemical extraction is obtained by adding (9)and (33)

In general the diluent alone also solvates some amount ofsolute (acid) from aqueous solution by physical extractionwhich is described in the previous sectionTherefore in sucha case expression for [(HC)

[(HC)119898(S)119899] = 119862HC minus ]119862

212 Linear Solvation Energy Relation (LSER) A linearsolvation energy relationship (LSER) approach has beenintroduced by Kamlet et al [74] in 1983 and then improvedby Abraham [75] It characterizes solvation effects in termsof nonspecific and H-bonding interactions Thus a solvationproperty of interest (119883119884119885) for an organic solute is modeledby a linear solvation energy relationship of the form [76]

22 Kinetic Studies on Reactive Extraction of Carboxylic AcidsKinetic studies are equally essential as equilibrium studies forthe complete design of a reactive extraction unit Lewis typestirred cell [78] cylindrical stirring vessel with highly agitatedsystem [50] stirred cell with a microporous hydrophobicmembrane [79] and so forth were used to perform thekinetic studies on the reactive extraction of various carboxylicacids In these studies the investigators have describedand analyzed the kinetic mechanism of reactive extractionusing formal elementary kinetic model a mechanism ofreactions of acid-amine complexes [50] theory of extractionaccompanied by a chemical reaction [79] and so forth Theestimation of the intrinsic kinetic parameters such as rateconstants (forward and backward) and reaction order werealso carried out using experimental data According to theirfindings the reaction between the acid and the extractantnot only depends on the composition of the organic andaqueous phases it also depends on the hydrodynamic param-eters (volume ratio of phases interfacial area and speed ofagitation) of the system which also confirmed the region ofthe (mass transfer controlled or reaction controlled) reactionIn a study by Jun et al [80] in 2007 it was observed that thereaction rates were affected by pH and contamination presentin the aqueous phase At a pH greater than the p119870

119886of acid

more dissociation took place leading to the reduction in theextraction efficiency Therefore it was recommended thatto have an effective separation of acid from the productionmedia the pH of the fermentation broth should be kept ata value less than the p119870

119886of the acid Further a brief review

of the kinetic studies on reactive extraction is summarized inTable 2 to have an overviewof the reactive kinetics of differentcarboxylic acids

221 Kinetic Model A comprehensive study on the theory ofextraction accompanied with chemical reaction in a stirredcell is proposed by Doraiswamy and Sharma [79] in 1984 todetermine the effect of chemical reaction on the specific rateof reaction With the help of the film and renewal theorieswith physico-chemical and hydrodynamic parameters theyhave classified the reactive system into four reaction regimes(very slow slow fast and instantaneous) depending on theirrelative diffusion and reaction rates (Table 3)

The value of physical mass transfer coefficient (119896119871) is

required to confirm the regime of reaction This is obtained

The values of equilibrium extraction constant (119870119864) and the

stoichiometry (119898 119899) of the reactive extraction are determinedby minimizing the error between the experimental andpredicted values of119870

119863

The equilibriummodel for the simultaneous formation ofvarious types of acid-extractant complexes (1 1 2 1 3 1 1 2etc) can be represented by a system of equations (see (20)to (23)) depending upon the type of the acid extractant anddiluent and their concentrations used in the experiment

Using experimental results and by applying the mass actionlaw the values of the individual equilibrium constants (119870

11

119870

21 11987031

and 11987012) and the concentration of complexes (C

11

C21 C31 and C

12) can be estimated An objective function

can be defined to determine individual equilibrium constantsbased on experimental values of 119862HC

Now amodel based on the loading ratio (119885) for formationof various types of complexes (1 1 2 1 etc) between acidand extractant can also be described The extent to whichthe organic phase (extractant and diluent) may be loadedwith acid is expressed by the loading ratio It is a ratio ofacid concentration in the organic phase at equilibrium to theinitial extractant concentration in the organic phase ([S]in)

119885 =

119862HC

[S]in

(30)

The value of 119885 depends on the extractability of the acid(strength of the acid-base interaction) and its aqueous con-centration and the stoichiometry of the overall extractionequilibrium It is found that when the organic phase is nothighly concentrated by acid that is at very low loading ratios(119885 lt 05) 1 1 acid-extractant complex is formed A plot of119885(1 minus 119885) versus [HC] yields a straight line passing throughorigin with a slope of complexation constant (119870

11) as given

by (31)119885

1 minus 119885

= 119870

11[HC] (31)

If the carboxylic acid concentration is high enough (at least119885 gt 05) this relation can be expressed as shown by

119885

119898 minus 119885

= 119870

1198981[HC]119898 (32)

To account for the extraction only by extractant a term isdefined for the distribution of acid by chemical extraction(119870chem119863

) as

119870

chem119863

=

119862HC minus ]119862diluentHC

119862HC

(33)

where ] is the volume fraction of diluent in the organic phaseTherefore the overall distribution coefficient (119870total

119863

) byphysical and chemical extraction is obtained by adding (9)and (33)

In general the diluent alone also solvates some amount ofsolute (acid) from aqueous solution by physical extractionwhich is described in the previous sectionTherefore in sucha case expression for [(HC)

119898(S)119899] is represented as

[(HC)119898(S)119899] = 119862HC minus ]119862

(35)

Therefore (35) could be obtained by including the term forphysical extraction and rewriting (34) as

212 Linear Solvation Energy Relation (LSER) A linearsolvation energy relationship (LSER) approach has beenintroduced by Kamlet et al [74] in 1983 and then improvedby Abraham [75] It characterizes solvation effects in termsof nonspecific and H-bonding interactions Thus a solvationproperty of interest (119883119884119885) for an organic solute is modeledby a linear solvation energy relationship of the form [76]

Equation (39) can be adopted to describe the effect ofdiluents on the values of distribution coefficients (119870

case a mixture of diluents is used with the extractantthe solvatochromic parameters of the solvent mixtures arecalculated as [77]

22 Kinetic Studies on Reactive Extraction of Carboxylic AcidsKinetic studies are equally essential as equilibrium studies forthe complete design of a reactive extraction unit Lewis typestirred cell [78] cylindrical stirring vessel with highly agitatedsystem [50] stirred cell with a microporous hydrophobicmembrane [79] and so forth were used to perform thekinetic studies on the reactive extraction of various carboxylicacids In these studies the investigators have describedand analyzed the kinetic mechanism of reactive extractionusing formal elementary kinetic model a mechanism ofreactions of acid-amine complexes [50] theory of extractionaccompanied by a chemical reaction [79] and so forth Theestimation of the intrinsic kinetic parameters such as rateconstants (forward and backward) and reaction order werealso carried out using experimental data According to theirfindings the reaction between the acid and the extractantnot only depends on the composition of the organic andaqueous phases it also depends on the hydrodynamic param-eters (volume ratio of phases interfacial area and speed ofagitation) of the system which also confirmed the region ofthe (mass transfer controlled or reaction controlled) reactionIn a study by Jun et al [80] in 2007 it was observed that thereaction rates were affected by pH and contamination presentin the aqueous phase At a pH greater than the p119870

119886of acid

more dissociation took place leading to the reduction in theextraction efficiency Therefore it was recommended thatto have an effective separation of acid from the productionmedia the pH of the fermentation broth should be kept ata value less than the p119870

119886of the acid Further a brief review

of the kinetic studies on reactive extraction is summarized inTable 2 to have an overviewof the reactive kinetics of differentcarboxylic acids

221 Kinetic Model A comprehensive study on the theory ofextraction accompanied with chemical reaction in a stirredcell is proposed by Doraiswamy and Sharma [79] in 1984 todetermine the effect of chemical reaction on the specific rateof reaction With the help of the film and renewal theorieswith physico-chemical and hydrodynamic parameters theyhave classified the reactive system into four reaction regimes(very slow slow fast and instantaneous) depending on theirrelative diffusion and reaction rates (Table 3)

The value of physical mass transfer coefficient (119896119871) is

required to confirm the regime of reaction This is obtained

The reaction between acid and extractant is reversibleThis problem of reversibility can be avoided by measuringthe initial specific rate of reaction which is governed onlyby the forward reaction Therefore in this study the initialspecific rate of extraction 119877HC0 (molsdotmminus2sdotsminus1) is calculatedfrom experimental data using the following equation

In general the diluent alone also solvates some amount ofsolute (acid) from aqueous solution by physical extractionwhich is described in the previous sectionTherefore in sucha case expression for [(HC)

[(HC)119898(S)119899] = 119862HC minus ]119862

212 Linear Solvation Energy Relation (LSER) A linearsolvation energy relationship (LSER) approach has beenintroduced by Kamlet et al [74] in 1983 and then improvedby Abraham [75] It characterizes solvation effects in termsof nonspecific and H-bonding interactions Thus a solvationproperty of interest (119883119884119885) for an organic solute is modeledby a linear solvation energy relationship of the form [76]

22 Kinetic Studies on Reactive Extraction of Carboxylic AcidsKinetic studies are equally essential as equilibrium studies forthe complete design of a reactive extraction unit Lewis typestirred cell [78] cylindrical stirring vessel with highly agitatedsystem [50] stirred cell with a microporous hydrophobicmembrane [79] and so forth were used to perform thekinetic studies on the reactive extraction of various carboxylicacids In these studies the investigators have describedand analyzed the kinetic mechanism of reactive extractionusing formal elementary kinetic model a mechanism ofreactions of acid-amine complexes [50] theory of extractionaccompanied by a chemical reaction [79] and so forth Theestimation of the intrinsic kinetic parameters such as rateconstants (forward and backward) and reaction order werealso carried out using experimental data According to theirfindings the reaction between the acid and the extractantnot only depends on the composition of the organic andaqueous phases it also depends on the hydrodynamic param-eters (volume ratio of phases interfacial area and speed ofagitation) of the system which also confirmed the region ofthe (mass transfer controlled or reaction controlled) reactionIn a study by Jun et al [80] in 2007 it was observed that thereaction rates were affected by pH and contamination presentin the aqueous phase At a pH greater than the p119870

119886of acid

more dissociation took place leading to the reduction in theextraction efficiency Therefore it was recommended thatto have an effective separation of acid from the productionmedia the pH of the fermentation broth should be kept ata value less than the p119870

119886of the acid Further a brief review

of the kinetic studies on reactive extraction is summarized inTable 2 to have an overviewof the reactive kinetics of differentcarboxylic acids

221 Kinetic Model A comprehensive study on the theory ofextraction accompanied with chemical reaction in a stirredcell is proposed by Doraiswamy and Sharma [79] in 1984 todetermine the effect of chemical reaction on the specific rateof reaction With the help of the film and renewal theorieswith physico-chemical and hydrodynamic parameters theyhave classified the reactive system into four reaction regimes(very slow slow fast and instantaneous) depending on theirrelative diffusion and reaction rates (Table 3)

The value of physical mass transfer coefficient (119896119871) is

required to confirm the regime of reaction This is obtained

The reaction between acid and extractant is reversibleThis problem of reversibility can be avoided by measuringthe initial specific rate of reaction which is governed onlyby the forward reaction Therefore in this study the initialspecific rate of extraction 119877HC0 (molsdotmminus2sdotsminus1) is calculatedfrom experimental data using the following equation

A plot of ln(119862lowastorg(119862lowast

119871)

The reaction between acid and extractant is reversibleThis problem of reversibility can be avoided by measuringthe initial specific rate of reaction which is governed onlyby the forward reaction Therefore in this study the initialspecific rate of extraction 119877HC0 (molsdotmminus2sdotsminus1) is calculatedfrom experimental data using the following equation

The reaction between acid and extractant is reversibleThis problem of reversibility can be avoided by measuringthe initial specific rate of reaction which is governed onlyby the forward reaction Therefore in this study the initialspecific rate of extraction 119877HC0 (molsdotmminus2sdotsminus1) is calculatedfrom experimental data using the following equation
