Extraction of carboxylic acids, C-2-C-6, was carried out with tributyl
phosphate (TBP) from an aqueous waste stream at pH = 2, 2.5, and at as
such pH taken from an environmental process engineering point of view
. The effect of the presence of H2SO4 and HCl on the distribution coef
ficients for C-2-C-6 carboxylic acids was investigated. The measuremen
ts were also carried out in the presence of inorganic salts such as Na
2SO4 and NaCl.
