Separation of levulinic acid (LA) from the aqueous phase with use tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) as an extractant in nontoxic solvents such rice bran and mustard oils was performed. The are low cost compared to other solvents. obtained maximum extraction efficiencies (%E) 11.75%, 8%, 70% pure oil, TBP, respectively. distribution coefficient (KD) %E were found be lower vegetable oils. To improve separation, TBP used various concentrations In present study, higher KD 1.42 58.73% oil 1.61 61.75% oil.

Abstract Glutaric acid is an attractive chemical compound which can be used for the manufacturing of polyesters, polyamides, and polyols. It produced by synthesis (chemical method) fermentation (biological process. presented with lowest quantity in broth industrial waste streams. The separation methods glutaric are difficult, costly, non-environment friendly from broth. Reactive a simple, cheapest, environment-friendly process recovery carboxylic acid. Which employed lower cost In this...

Abstract BACKGROUND Vanillic acid, an aromatic carboxylic acid and a derivative of vanillin, is used as additive in consumer goods for its aroma. Previously, most vanillic was produced through petrochemical route, but consequence stringent environmental policies, it now by the biotransformation ferulic acid. also found wastewater streams paper‐pulp industries olive‐oil mills. So, recovering from fermentation broth, either during bioproduction or stream, while minimizing toxicity, difficult...

The extraction behaviour of Mo(VI) from nitric acid medium was investigated employing di(octyl-phenyl) phosphoric (DOPPA) in different diluents. Dodecane found to give higher DMo value as compared other diluents (under similar conditions). decreases with HNO3 concentration up 3 M and increases thereafter 10 M, suggesting that two mechanisms are involved this system. Speciation studies show HMoO3.(HA2) MoO2.2(HA2) the predominant species at 0.1 HNO3, whereas 6 is MoO2(NO3)2.2(HA). Selectivity...
