Abstract

This study investigated the impact of solid/liquid ratio, solvent concentration, temperature, and leaching time on the recovery of rare earth elements (REEs), particularly terbium, from Lapindo mud using sulfuric acid as a leaching agent. The objective was to optimize the leaching conditions and identify the most appropriate kinetic model for describing the extraction process. Leaching experiments were conducted under various solid/liquid ratios, sulfuric acid concentrations, temperatures, and time. The findings revealed that the maximum terbium recovery of 94.51% was achieved at a solid/liquid ratio of 0.5, and 18 M sulfuric acid was used as the leaching agent for the extraction process at 200 °C for 30 minutes. Kinetic analysis proved that the Zhuravlev-Leshokin-Templeman (ZLT) model best described the leaching process. The calculated reaction's apparent activation energy (Ea) was 27.96 kJ/mol, indicating that a combination of chemical reactions and diffusion mechanisms controls the leaching process. These insights are crucial for optimizing the extraction of terbium and other REEs from Lapindo mud, offering significant potential for industrial applications in recovering valuable materials from waste sources.

Abstract

Separation process of yttrium by extraction using TOPO solvents has been done. The purpose of this study is to find out the optimum condition of the variation effect of extractant concentration, stirring time, and acidity of the rare earth feed and to determine the distribution coefficient, separation factor, and extraction efficiency (%), using the liquid-liquid extraction method. The feed used were rare earth elements of xenotime sand. The extractant used in the research were TOPO (tri-n-octylphosphine oxide). Concentration of yttrium (Y), disprosium (Dy), and gadolinium (Gd) were determined using X-ray fluorescene spectrometer. Optimum conditions of the extraction process obtained from this study were: TOPO extractant concentration in kerosene 20%, stirring time 15 minutes, acidity of feed 0.5 M. Obtained value of distribution coefficient Y = 5.61; Dy = 2.06; Gd = 0.99. For extraction efficiency Y = 85.13%, Dy = 67.80%, Gd = 50.17% whereas separation factor Y-Dy = 2.7186 and Y-Gd = 5.6861.
