ABSTRACT

2

Extraction and recovery of low-concentration valuable metals from various

3

complex aqueous solutions or industrial waste waters have attract extensive interests

4

in recent years. In our previous works, we suggested a novel technique called

5

bubbling organic liquid membrane extraction by spreading and covering an organic

6

extractant with extremely small volume on the surface of gas bubbles to form a layer

7

of gas bubble-supported organic liquid membrane for selective extraction and

8

enrichment of low-concentration targets from dilute aqueous solutions. It was found

9

that, for successfully performing the bubbling organic liquid membrane extraction, a

10

prerequisite is how to control the formation of stable organic liquid membrane

11

covered on the surface of gas bubbles. However, once the organic extractant starting

12

to spread on the surface of gas bubbles, the extraction chemical reaction at the

13

interface between organic extractant liquid membrane and rare-earth aqueous solution

14

will happen. In the present work, the spreading behavior of organic extractant P507

15

on the surface of rare-earth aqueous solutions were investigated, and was compared

16

with the behaviors on the surface of deionized water. It was revealed that the

17

spreading of organic extractant P507 on the surface of aqueous solutions containing

18

rare-earth ions was accelerated due to the occurrence of the chemical reactions at the

19

gas-water interface. The difference in spreading rate of organic extractant P507 liquid

20

droplets respectively on the surface of deionized water and on that of Er(III) aqueous

21

solutions with the increase in P507 concentration, the saponification degrees of P507

INTRODUCTION

2

Nowadays, extraction and recovery of low-concentration valuable metals from

3

various complex aqueous solutions or industrial waste waters have attracted extensive

4

research interests.1 In our previous works, we suggested a novel technique called

5

bubbling organic liquid membrane extraction by spreading and covering a layer of

6

organic extractant with extremely small volume on the surface of gas bubbles to form

7

a gas bubble-supported organic liquid membrane for selective extraction and

8

enrichment of low-concentration targets from dilute aqueous solutions.2 Experimental

9

results demonstrated that the suggested new technique exhibited a great potential in

10

promoting the development of traditional oil-water two-phase solvent extraction to

11

treat the low-concentration diluted aqueous solutions economically. The dispersed gas

12

bubbles covered with organic extractant ascended in the extraction tower and

13

contacted counter-currently with the aqueous phase. Under the action of shearing

14

force of counter-current water phase, the renewal of the oil-water interface of the

15

organic thin membrane layer on the surface of gas bubbles was very fast, so that the

16

target metal ions with very low concentrations in the large volume of aqueous

17

solutions could be quickly captured and enriched into the organic liquid membrane

18

layer on the surface of gas bubbles at large aqueous-to-oil phase ratios (generally

19

above 600:1).3

20

However, it was found that, for successfully performing the bubbling organic

21

liquid membrane extraction, a prerequisite was how to control the formation of stable

22

organic liquid membrane covered on the surface of gas bubbles.4 When the gas was 4

bubbled into the aqueous solutions through the internal gas needles of the injector, the

2

organic extractant passed through the annular gaps between the internal gas needles

3

and the external organic needles, and then met with the gas bubbles on the top end of

4

the gas needles, so that the organic extractant could be dispersed and spread on the

5

surface of gas bubbles, due to its surface activity. If the pumping speed of the gas and

6

the organic phase were kept at a certain value, and if the materials used for making

7

the internal gas and external organic needles of the injector in bubbling organic liquid

8

membrane extractor were carefully designed, the formation of stable gas

9

bubble-supported organic liquid membrane from the submerged orifice of the

10

injectors in the large-phase-ratio extractor was closely related to the wettability and

11

spreading behavior of organic extractant on the surface of gas bubbles.5 Therefore, in

12

order to achieve a controllable generation of stable gas bubble-supported organic

13

liquid membrane, it is necessary to understand what factors might bring obvious

14

influence on the spreading behavior of organic extractant and which one is the most

15

crucial.

16

Investigations in the literatures about the spreading behavior of organic liquid

17

droplets on the gas-water interface have been extensively reported.6-8 Early,

18

Robinson and Woods suggested that the spreading free energy, E, could be used to

19

judge whether an organic liquid droplet could enter the air-water interface: 9

E >0, it was thought that the organic liquid droplet could enter into the interface

2

between air and water, and to form a lens or spread to form a thin organic liquid film.

3

Since that, Harkins and Feldman studied the wetting and spreading behavior of an

4

organic liquid drop after entering the interface between air and water.10 Their works

5

indicated that whether or not the organic liquid droplet could spread on the air-water

6

interface was closely depended on the spreading coefficient, S :

s   aw   ow   ao

8

When S 0, the spreading of organic liquid droplet on

10

the air-water interface was possible and finally an organic lens or a thin organic liquid

11

film could be obtained on the surface of water.

12

Based on those pioneered works, the researchers combined together the free

13

energy, E, and the spreading coefficient, S, to further describe the spreading behavior

14

of organic liquid droplet on the air-water interface.11 It was found that there were

15

three types of spreading behavior of organic droplet on the air-water interface. When

16

E 98%, purchased from Xiamen Pioneer Technology Co. Ltd., was

14

used as the organic extractant. The 260# sulfonated kerosene, purchased from China

15

Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec Group), was used as the diluent. The content of

16

various aromatic hydrocarbons in the 260# sulfonated kerosene was below 1%. The

17

stock organic solutions of P507 in kerosene with different molar concentrations of

18

P507 were prepared by respectively mixing a certain amount of P507 with kerosene at

19

different volume ratios. All of the organics were used as received, without further

20

purification. Analytical-grade (purity > 99%) of sodium hydroxide, purchased from

21

Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd, was dissolved into deionized water to prepare

22

3 mol/L NaOH aqueous solutions for saponification of P507 in kerosene solutions. 9

The desired saponification degrees of P507 in kerosene solutions were obtained

according to the procedures as mentioned in previous literatures.31 The stock aqueous

dissolving analytical grade (purity > 99%) of Er2O3 (purchased from Ganzhou

Shunyuan Rare Earth Material Co., Ltd) using 37 wt% concentrated HCl aqueous

solutions, and then boiled the aqueous solutions to drive out the HCl, and then diluted

solution containing a certain amount of Erbium were prepared by mixing the

pre-saponified P507 organic solution with the stock aqueous solutions containing a

known quantity of Erbium for 30 min at room temperature. After oil and aqueous

original stock solution as mentioned in section 2.1. The concentrations of Er(III) in

the supporting aqueous solution were 30 mg/L, and the pH of the supporting Er(III)

aqueous solutions were 5.4. The aim to adjust the pH of the supporting Er(III)

As can be seen in Fig.2, both the spreading rates of P507 organic droplets on the

surface of deionized water and on that of Er(III) aqueous solutions decreased quickly

at initial time, and the spreading rates of P507 organic droplets decreased obviously

with the increase of P507 concentrations. However, the spreading rates of P507

organic droplets containing the same concentrations of P507 on the surface of the

15

aqueous solutions of Er(III) ions was larger than that on the surface of deionized

water at a certain time.

17

The change in the spreading rates can be divided as two typical stages: an initial

fast-speed decreasing of the spreading rates with the time, and then followed a 15

initial fast-speed decreasing stage and those in the final slow-speed decreasing stage

As depicted in Fig. 3, the time To for the transition points of the spreading rates

decreased not only with the increase of P507 concentration, but also was linearly

negatively correlated with the concentration of P507 in the organic droplet, whether

on the surface of deionized water or on that of the Er(III) aqueous solutions. As for

13

the spreading of oil droplets with the same P507 concentrations, the To values for the

14

transition points of the spreading rates on the surface of deionized water were always

15

shorter than that on the surface of the Er(III) aqueous solutions. It means that, if an

As can be seen in Fig. 4(a) and Fig. 5(a), the changing trend of the spreading

12

then both of them reached a stable spreading at slow speed. In addition, both the

13

spreading rates of P507 organic droplets on the surface of deionized water and on that

14

of Er(III) aqueous solutions decreased with the increase in the P507 saponification

degrees. Comparing to the spreading on the surface of deionized water, the spreading

16

rates on the surface of Er(III) aqueous solutions were more quicker, even the

17

saponification degrees of P507 were the same. The curve of the spreading of P507

18

sample without saponification treatment is located within the range of saponification

degrees between 5% to 8%. The deviation of the spreading from the changing trend of

20

other samples with increasing saponification degrees might be attributed to a quick

21

decrease in the pH values of the supporting liquids, due to the ionization and release

out of hydrogen ions from the active groups in P507 molecules in the aqueous 19

DISCUSSION

2

Previous experimental results indicated that the spreading rates decreased

3

quickly before the time To, and then reached a stable slow-speed spreading after To.

4

At the beginning of spreading, the gravity force is the dominant driving force to

5

induce the spreading. The organic droplets must overcome the deformation resistance

6

and the interfacial friction of the substrate liquid to spread and then gradually form a

7

thin oil film on the surface of water.40 In this stage, the inertia force is initially a

8

predominant resisting force, and then the viscous drag gradually replaces the inertia to

9

become a main retarding force. The later would become more and more obvious with

10

the increase of the spreading area of the organic droplet.15 Therefore, the spreading

11

rates of organic droplets decreased quickly at first and then slow down. The spreading

12

of the organic droplet results in the deformation of the organic droplet quickly from a

13

sphere to a flat organic lens on the supporting fluid.41

14

After the time T0, the organic lens spread further, and finally a thin precursor oil

15

film, even a monolayer, formed on the surface of the supporting substrate aqueous

16

solutions. In this stage, the surface tension gradient gradually replaces the gravity to

17

become the dominant driving force for spreading, although the viscous force is still a

18

main resisting force. The spreading rates of P507 organic droplet depended mainly on

19

the wettability of P507 oil membrane on the surface of the supporting substrate

20

aqueous solutions. Therefore, the spreading rates of organic droplets would not

21

change any more and reached a stable spreading rate.

22

As for the reasons why the spreading rates decreased with the increase of P507 23

characteristics of P507 organic liquid membrane spreading on the surface of the

As can be seen in the Fig. 8, the ratios of viscosity to elasticity (See Table S7 to

3

S9 in Supporting Information for how to calculate the ratios of viscosity to elasticity)

4

of P507 organic droplets increased with increasing the concentration of P507, the

5

saponification degree of P507 extractant, and the pre-loaded Erbium concentration in

6

the organic phase. It means that the damping capacity of P507 organic droplets

7

spreading on the surface of the supporting substrate aqueous solutions increased. The

8

increasing in damping capacity of organic droplets would lead to the increase in the

9

frictional resistance between the P507 organic liquid membrane and the supporting

10

substrate aqueous solutions.45 Therefore, the spreading rates of P507 organic droplets

11

decreased.

12

Experimental results indicated that the time To would become shorter with the

13

increase in P507 concentration, the saponification degree of P507 extractant and the

14

pre-loaded Erbium concentration. It might be attributed to the increase in viscosity of

15

P507 droplet with the increase of above three factors (The change in the viscosities of

16

the organic phases with the increase in P507 concentration, the saponification degree

17

of P507 extractant and the pre-loaded Erbium concentration are listed in Table S10 to

18

S12 in Supporting Information). The viscous force is a main resisting force before

19

time To, therefore, the increase in the viscosity of P507 droplet would result in the

20

decrease in spreading rate becoming quickly. Thus, the time To would become shorter.

As can be seen in Fig. 9, the spreading coefficient S of P507 organic droplets on

2

the surface of Er(III) aqueous solution are larger than that on the surface of deionized

3

water. According to Svitova’s work, the transient precursor film radius obeys a simple

4

power scaling law in time elapsed t with the time exponent n (=3/4 theoretically

5

predicted).46 The increase in the spreading coefficient S would enhance the driving

6

force for the spreading. Therefore, the wettability of P507 organic droplets on the

7

surface of Er(III) aqueous solution was accelerated. In fact, the increase in the

8

wettability of P507 organic droplets on the surface of Er(III) aqueous solution might

9

be attributed to the occurrence of a chemical reaction at the interface between P507

10

oil membrane and Er(III) aqueous solution. The Marangoni convection was triggered

11

and therefore promote the mass transferring along the interface, which is favor of

12

overcoming the resistance from the viscous force when surface tension gradient

13

replaces the gravity as a dominant driving force for spreading. Thus, the spreading

14

rate of P507 oil membrane on the surface of Er(III) aqueous solution was enhanced.

15

Correspondingly, the time T0 for the spreading on the surface of Er(III) aqueous

16

solution was also shorten, compared to the spreading on the surface of deionized

17

water.

CONCLUSION

20

The present work demonstrated that the spreading of organic extractant P507 on

21

the surface of aqueous solutions containing rare-earth ions was accelerated due to the

22

occurrence of the chemical reactions at the gas-water interface. The difference in 27
