Abstract
This study aimed to enhance the extraction efficiency and elucidate the mechanism of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of taxanes from Taxus chinensis by natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES). The processes of kinetics and thermodynamics were systematically investigated. These extractions adhered to a pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 > 0.972), with intraparticle diffusion identified as the dominant mechanism. Key parameters such as temperature, ultrasonic power, and solid/liquid ratio significantly improved the effective diffusion coefficient (De) and mass transfer coefficient (KT), reaching values of 6.21 × 10−9 m2/s and 4.14 × 10−3 m/s, respectively. A high Biot number (Bi > 59.21) confirmed that internal diffusion is the rate-determining step. Thermodynamic analysis indicated that the process is endothermic (ΔH > 0), irreversible (ΔS > 0), and spontaneous (ΔG < 0). These results elucidate the underlying mechanisms of UAE and establish a foundational framework for its industrial-scale implementation.
