Recently, cluster formation of metal-extractant complexes in organic solvents has been shown to play important roles in liquid-liquid extraction. Although a number of reaction mechanisms have been proposed for liquid-liquid extraction, application of slope analysis method for evaluating metal-extractant stoichiometry fails when the solute concentrations are high. In this study, we performed the analysis of solvent extraction equilibria for practical liquid-liquid systems with consideration of the formation of cluster aggregates in the organic phase during the extraction process. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation indicates the formation of aggregated clusters of 1 to 9 Zr(NO$$_{3}$$)$$_{4}$$(TBP)$$_{2}$$ complexes in ${it n}$-octane, leading to the determination of composition and molar fraction of each cluster. Furthermore, the extraction equilibrium reactions were studied, and the extraction equilibrium constant K$$_{ex,j}$$ (${it j}$ = 1-9) for each cluster could be determined from the parameters obtained by the MD analysis. The distribution curve calculated from K$$_{ex,j}$$ agrees well with the experimental values. Therefore, one MD simulation can accurately reproduce the distribution curve in the clustering/aggregation liquid-liquid extraction system, which enabled us to overcome the limitations of slope analysis method.

Under practical liquid-liquid extraction conditions with high solute concentrations, clusters of metal-extractant complexes can form in the organic phase. In these conditions, application of the slope analysis method for determining metal-extractant stoichiometry becomes difficult, and the deviations from ideal appear as non-linear responses and non-integer slopes. In this study, we developed novel extraction equilibrium analysis for practical liquid-liquid systems with consideration of the cluster formation and investigated the extension of the classical equilibrium analysis. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation snapshots indicate the formation of aggregated clusters of 1 to 9 Zr(NO$$_{3}$$)$$_{4}$$(TBP)$$_{2}$$ complexes in ${it n}$-octane, leading to the determination of composition and molar fraction of each cluster. Considering the extraction equilibrium of clusters composed of ${it j}$ Zr(NO$$_{3}$$)$$_{4}$$(TBP)$$_{2}$$ complexes, the extraction equilibrium constants K$$_{ex,j}$$ (${it j}$ = 1-9) were calculated from the distribution ratio and the molar fraction for each cluster obtained by the MD analysis. The distribution curve calculated from the obtained K$$_{ex,j}$$ values agrees well with the experimental values. Therefore, MD simulation can accurately reproduce the experimental values in the clustering/aggregation liquid-liquid extraction system, which enabled us to extend the classical equilibrium analysis.
