摘要
Direct extraction of molybdenum from sulfate solution with synergistic extractants(mixture of D2EHPA and TBP)was studied in the rotation column.The influence of extractant concentration and initial pH of aqueous phase was studied in the bench scale experiments.The outcomes demonstrated that the synergistic solvent extraction enhances the constancy of the extracted complexes for transfer into the organic phase.In the continuous experiments,the effect of different operating parameters such as speed of agitation,inlet solvent flow rate and inlet aqueous flow rate on the holdup,mean drop size,drop size distribution,slip and characteristic velocities and extraction percentage were examined.Modified correlations were proposed for prediction of hydrodynamic parameters with consideration of reaction extraction condition in the rotation column.Furthermore,these correlations were compared with the experimental data.According to the results,the direct extraction of Mo(Ⅵ)from aqueous solution and sulfuric media with extraction efficiency of 90.4%was obtained at higher rotor speed(240 r·min–1 rpm)in this column.
