ABSTRACT Equilibrium and kinetic experiments were performed for gallic acid recovery using tributyl phosphate dissolved in isoamyl alcohol as a diluent. Employing an extractive-reaction system results in significantly higher acid recovery in comparison to physical extraction. Overall equilibrium extraction complexation constant KE was found to be in the range 4.325–6.896. 1:1 acid: extractant complexes are proposed from the results obtained from mass action law model. Adsorption isotherm models (Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin) and Response Surface Methodology was used, Mass transfer coefficient (kL ) and diffusivity coefficient were also calculated. Extraction kinetics was observed to be very slow based on the Hatta number.
