Abstract
A predictive model, which consists of a set of non-linear mass action and mass balance equations solved by using a tailor-made equation-solving program, is used as a basis to predict experimentally measured distribution coefficients for the CuSO4–H2SO4–MOC 80TD-Iberfluid liquid–liquid extraction system at 20°C and aqueous copper concentrations in the range 0.1-1.0 g l−1. The model is also used to obtain the copper loading isotherm at various initial aqueous pH values.
