Abstract

Tertiary amines were used as the extradants for reactive extraction in alcohol diluents. Equilibrium and hydration data for various alcohol diluents and tertiary amines were obtained. From these data, the effect of coextracted water on extractability was investigated. For the measurement of the water-enhanced solubilities of succinic acid, the sensitivity index was introduced. The amount of coextracted water into organic phase was increased with the chain length of alcohol diluents. However, the water-enhanced solubility of succinic acid was almost constant with the chain length of alcohol diluents. The sensitivity indices were proportional to the chain length of tertiary amines; thus, the water-enhanced solubilities of succinic acid were increased.
