Abstract

The influence of the concentration of sodium oleate (NaOL), alcohol and the nature of the internal water phase on the water content of microemulsion was studied. The effect of the concentration of NaOL, sodium stearate, alcohol, salting-out agent, Alamine 336 added and of the contact time, volume ratio of the aqueous to microemulsion (R) and temperature on the extraction yield of samarium was investigated. The result shows that the extraction of samarium is effective under well-defined conditions utilizing WinsorII microemulsion systems.
