Kinetics of the mass transfer processes involved in uranium recovery from wet process phosphoric acid (WPA) by solvent extraction employing synergistic extractants has been studied. In the present investigation results on the kinetics of separation of entrained solvent by diluent washing and uranium mass transfer behaviour have been discussed. Kinetic studies for the entrained solvent separation by diluent (petrofin) wash for D2EHPA/WPA system showed significant dependence of the rate constant value on the variables such as phase ratio, temperature and agitator speed. Kinetic studies on the mass transfer of U(VI) from phosphoric acid with 1.5 M D2EHPA+ 0.2 M TBP have been carried out using a constant interfacial area cell (Lewis cell). The effect of stirring speed, interfacial area, acidity of aqueous phase, extractant concentration in organic phase and temperature on the extraction rate constant indicate that both chemical reaction and diffusion, control the rate of uranium extraction from phosphoric aci...
