Abstract

Box-Behnken design was utilized to obtain optimized process condition for maximizing lactic acid extraction efficiency and initial extraction rate by emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) process. A mixture of tri-n-octylamine and tri-n-decylamine (1:1, v/v) was employed as carrier in membrane phase of ELM for synergic facilitated lactic acid transport. The effect of different process parameters like lactic acid concentration in feed, sodium carbonate concentration in internal phase, carrier fraction, treatment ratio, phase ratio, stirring speed and contact time has been investigated. Extraction efficiency of 98.5% and 9.36 × 10−9 mol/cm2.sec, initial extraction rate were found under optimized conditions of process parameters.
