Study on Solvent Extraction of Citric Acid from Fermentation Broth

Abstract:

Extraction of citric acid from aqueous solutions with tertiary amine, dissolved in mixtures of kerosene and phase modifier have been studied as a function of exaction yield at different phase modifier volume fraction, temperatures, stirring speed and exaction time. The optimal experimental conditions of extraction were obtained: reaction temperature 303K, reaction time 3 min, the kerosene volume fraction 20%, and 45% 1−octanol as phase modifier, stirring speed 450rpm/min. Under these conditions, the extraction yield could reach 75%. The complex of citric acid and tertiary amine was a surfactant that makes surface tension decrease. The composition of the citric acid complex is (R₃N) · (H₃A). The formation of complex was exothermic reaction that the standard enthalpy change and standard entropy change are obtained: ΔH^θ=-10.17kJ/mol, ΔS^θ=-11.86J/(mol·K).
