As it has a definite solubility in water, so when using MIBK as extraction agent, there will be MIBK in stripping solutions inevitably, which not only pollutes working conditions, but also affects the quality of ultimate product. In order to remove MIBK from aqueous solutions, the means of flat vacuum membrane distillation(VMD) is studied in the paper. The area of the membrane used in the study is 0.02 m 2, the initial volume of feed is 2 L, each experiment was conducted over a time period of 60 120 min. The influences of the factors such as temperature(34.8 55.0 ℃); pressure in the permeate side(10.67 14.67 kPa) and feed flow rate(27.8 69.4 mL/s) were experimentally studied. Increasing the temperature or reducing the pressure in the permeate side results in a faster removal of MIBK; however there is a decrease in removal factor β , increasing the feed flow rate results in a faster removal of MIBK and an increase of removal factor β , especially in the range of lower flow rate. The study indicates that the aim of MIBK removal and recycle from dilute aqueous solutions can be achieved by VMD.展开更多

The effects of aeration conditions on aerating efficiency were investigated in the ranges of temperature 303 333 K, airflow rate 50 300 L/h,volume of solution 1 600 3 200 mL. Aerating efficiency increases with the increase of temperature and airflow rate. MIBK in aqueous solution can be removed from 0.058 mol/L to 0.002 mol/L at 50 ℃,airflow rate 200 L/h, volume of solution 2 400 mL and aeration time 1h. The experimental results show that MIBK can be removed effectively from aqueous solution by the aeration method.展开更多

The experiments were carried out under conditions of 25 ℃, Nb(Ⅴ) concentration 0.01 mol/L, pH 10.7 13.8, R 4NCl concentration 0.02 0.14 mol/L. It has been found that the distribution ratio of niobium increases with increasing R 4NCl concentration and with decreasing KCl concentration, but it shows maximum value at pH value of about 12 and decreases below or above this pH value. Distribution ratio of niobium goes up to over 1 000 in appropriate conditions, and so it has been proved that R 4NCl is an effective extractant for extraction of niobium from alkali solution.展开更多
