Abstract: The extraction of citric acid(H3A) from its aqueous solution with primary amine N1923(B) in kerosene was studied at 298±1K.The extraction equilibrum can be expressed as B(o)+iH3AiH3A (i=2/3;1).15%(V/V) high-carbon alcohol Al416(Chinese trade mark) was used as a modifier in organic phase.It was found that the probable component of the extracted complexes were B·(2/3)H3A and B·H3A which were confirmed by the mathods of isomolar series,saturatrion extraction,plot n/[H3A] versus [H3A] and the infrared spectra.The extraction capacity of inorganic acids and citric acid by N1923 is in the order of HCl HNO3HClO4>H3A.The possibility of stripping of citric acid from organic phase with aqueus solution containing hydrochloride is discussed.
