BACKGROUND: Thermodynamic studies on Ce(IV) extraction with primary amine N1923 demonstrate that primary amine N1923 is an excellent extractant for separation of Ce(IV) from Re(III). In order to clarify the mechanism of extraction and to optimize the parameters in practical extraction systems used in the rare earth industry, the extraction kinetics was investigated using a constant interfacial area cell with laminar flow in the present work.RESULTS: The data indicate that the rate constant (kao) becomes constant when stirring speed exceeds 250 rpm. The apparent forward extraction rate is calculated to be 10⁻¹.⁷⁰. The activation energy (Ea) was calculated to be 20.5 kJ/mol from the slope of log kao against 1000/T. The minimum bulk concentration of the extractant necessary to saturate the interface (Cmin) is lower than 10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹.CONCLUSION: Studies of interfacial tension and the effects of stirring rate and specific interfacial area on the extraction rate show that the extraction rate is kinetically controlled, and a mass transfer model has been proposed. The rate equation has been obtained as: - d[Ce(IV)]/dt = 10⁻¹.⁷⁰[Ce(IV)] [(RNH₃)₂SO₄]¹.³⁷⁶. The rate-controlling step has been evaluated from analysis of the experimental results.
