Abstract
Background
Thermodynamic evaluation of Quercetin distribution in water and organic solvent system is important for the design of Quercetin separation process. Additionally, kinetic analysis of Quercetin distribution has an effect on its separation efficiency. These are useful in designing process for green separation of Quercetin involving aqueous extracts.
Methods
The liquid-liquid extraction process has been demonstrated with equilibrium data for water-organic solvent-Quercetin system. This is studied at three different temperatures i.e. 293, 303, and 313 K. The organic solvent mixture used was ethyl acetate-hexane (1:1 v/v). Kinetic studies of the purification process along with its optimisation was done using a stirred tank.
Significant Findings
The distribution coefficient of Quercetin was in the range of 9.5–0.78 and the separation factor was in the range of 281.7–22.7. The distribution coefficient and extraction efficiency was not affected with change in temperature. The degree of consistency of the equilibrium was evaluated using Othmer-Tobias equation. Additionally, the kinetic study showed that the mass transfer coefficient was a function of stirrer speed and volumetric ratio of aqueous to organic phase. The maximum mass transfer coefficient of 9.41 min-1 was obtained for a stirrer speed of 600 rpm and ratio of Vaq/Vorg of 2.
