Abstract:-Physical extraction studies of pyruvic acid from dilute aqueous solutions (0.025 kmol·m -3 to 0.200 kmol·m -3 ) using several pure solvents (tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP), 1-decanol, 1-octanol, toluene, Methylisobutylketone (MIBK), and n-heptane) and their binary mixtures are reported in this work. All the batch extraction experiments were carried out at isothermal conditions (T=303±1K) and the results are reported in terms of distribution coefficient (K D ). The results obtained by the equilibrium studies of th… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
