Abstract: The extraction of acetic acid with TBPin different diluents was studied.The decreasing order of extraction ability of TBPis as follows:toluene,benzene,cyclohexane,kerosene, tetrachloride, chloroform and methyl isobutylketone.The effect of temperatureon the extraction equilibrium was also investigated and the enthalpy of the extraction was obtained.The relationship between the extraction equilibrium constants Kex,and the physicalparameters of diluents can be derived.The extraction mechanism and equilibrium were examined by measurements of IRspectrophotometry.
