Abstract

Liquid-liquid extraction is one of the methods for separating rare earth elements (REE) in the presence of an extractant. The separation of REE ions, complex with an extractant, involves interfacial migrations that are influenced by the diffusion of the respective ions. Therefore, we performed molecular dynamics simulations on REE ions (La3+, Sm3+, Eu3+, Gd3+, and Tb3+) in a water-n-hexane system to determine if each ion exhibited a distinct diffusion coefficient. By employing molecular dynamics simulations, we calculated diffusion coefficients for these ions based on the Einstein relation. The diffusion coefficients for La3+, Sm3+, Eu3+, Gd3+, and Tb3+ were found to be 4.21×10–6, and 3.96×10–6, 4.57×10–6, 4.17×10–6, and 5.19×10–6 cm2/s, respectively. However, statistical analysis via the Kruskal-Wallis test revealed no significant variance in the diffusion coefficients (p-value greater than 0.05), indicating that diffusion is not a rate-limiting factor in REE separation. The findings suggest that effective mixing during extraction can eliminate the role of diffusion as a differentiating factor in REE separation. Overall, this study offers critical insights into optimizing REE extraction processes

Abstract

Kemiri sunan oil is non-food oil. Therefore, kemiri sunan oil can be a potential raw material for biodiesel synthesis. Kemiri sunan oil has relatively high free fatty acid content so that before the transesterification step with a homogeneous base catalyst it is necessary to esterify it first. In esterification, the water content in oil and fat as raw material for biodiesel affects the conversion rate of free fatty acids into biodiesel, so this needs to be studied. The purpose of this study was to study the effect of water content in kemiri sunan oil on the conversion of free fatty acids into biodiesel at the esterification stage. The research was conducted by quantitative experiment. Variations of water content in kemiri sunan oil were obtained through evaporation at a temperature of 105 oC with time variations of 1, 1.5 and 2 hours. Esterification was carried out at a temperature of 60 oC, mole ratio of oil to methanol of 1:6, reaction time of 1.5 hours, and 98% sulfuric acid catalyst as much as 1%. The results showed that the less water content in the kemiri sunan oil, the less free fatty acids contained in the biodiesel from the esterification result.
