To extract vanadium (V) ions from the ferruginous siltstone at Abu Zeneima in Southwestern Sinai, Egypt, a synthesized chelating N-phenyl acetyl-N-naphthyl hydroxyl amine (PANHA), was used. Complete characterization was carried out successfully to elucidate the structure using several techniques such as FT-IR,1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, GC-MS and TGA analysis performances. Improved experimental measurements, such as pH, shaking time, initial concentration of V(V), PANHA dosage, temp., and stripping agents, have been achieved with the solvent extraction technique. At 25 ℃ and 0.015 mole per liter through 30 minutes, PANHA/CHCl3 has an extreme retention potential of 50 mg per gram at 25 ℃ at pH 1.5 at 1:1 aqueous to organic phase ratio. The linear regression analysis, consisting of a log D track versus pH, shows a straight line with a slope of 0.859, indicates that a mole of H+ was released during the extraction. The stability constant (β), of PANHA-V(V) complex was calculated from the intersection (log β=1.7958), and it was found to equal 63.1. The stoichiometry mechanism among a chelating ligand of PANHA and V(V) indicates a roughly linear correlation with slope of 0.882 which explains that one mole of PANHA chelating ligand can react with one mole of V (V). According to the kinetic and thermodynamic interpretations, the pseudo-second order kinetic model predicted the kinetics of vanadium (V) extraction, the thermodynamic factors ΔS, ΔH, and ΔG were also measured. As the temperature rises, ∆G values rise from -10.45 kJ/mol at 198 K to -2.2 kJ/mol at 353 K. Vanadium may be stripped from the loaded PANHA/CHCl3, by 0.5M NaOH with a 99% efficiency rate. To obtain a vanadium concentrate (NH4VO3, AMV) with a vanadium content of 42.6 percent and pureness of 98 percent, the enhanced variables were finally put to use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
