Abstract
Solvent extraction using a solvent coated bubble (air assisted solvent extraction) is introduced. Coating of a bubble with an organic solvent consisting of 3 v/v% (di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phosphoric acid) DEHPA in kerosene is shown to be thermodynamically favourable and is demonstrated experimentally. Aset up to generate a single stream of solvent coated bubbles is described. Trials to extract copper (Cu++) from acidified copper sulphate solution illustrate the concept.On introduit l’extraction par solvant utilisant une bulle revêtue de solvant (“extraction par solvant assistée à l’air”). On montre que le revêtement d’une bulle avec un solvant organique consistant de 3% v/v de DEHPA dans du kérosène est favorable thermodynamiquement et on le démontre expérimentalement. On décrit un montage produisant un courant unique de bulles revêtues de solvant. Des essais d’extraction de cuivre (Cu++) d’une solution acidifiée de sulfate de cuivre illustre le concept.
