Research Abstract |
In order to improve the solvent extraction process for the recovery of rare metal, the effect of ultrasound was investigated. (1) Considering the coalescence time of droplets, ultrasonic irradiation at 20 kHz was suitable for emulsification. (2) Chloroform droplets were easy to coalesce because those zeta potentials were close to 0. The coalescence time was short when the ultrasonic frequency was 4.8 MHz and ultrasound was indirectly irradiated to a tilted glass vessel. (3) The extractability of galliumbecame 100 % after total ultrasonic irradiation time of 5 minutes. The extraction time was shorter than that of conventional method.
