Abstract


Solvent extraction is largely applied in the purification in chemical and hydrometallurgical industries. The selection of proper extractants with a suitable diluents cause an efficient extraction of different metals from their components. The separation technology follows different method for extraction of the metals from ionic solution using various properties. But all the methods have various drawbacks in respect of technology or cost factor. After all, ultrasonic technique is one of the best and cheapest procedures for analysis of solvent extraction using different extractants with diluents. The present work deals with the study of some physical and acoustical properties like density, viscosity, ultrasonic velocity and compressibility etc. in the tributyl phosphate (TBP)-benzene system at temperature 30°C, 35°C and 40°C. The variations of different physical and acoustical properties are discussed in terms of interaction which has been well explained the solubility of the extractants for solvent extraction.
