In this paper,the kinetic process of lithium extraction from solution by TBP-[C4(mim)2][FeCl4]-MIBK system was studied by constant interface cell method.The effects of stirring rate,constant interface area,temperature,[C4(mim)2][FeCl4]concentration and TBP volume fraction on the extraction rate were investigated.The experimental results showed that the extraction reaction of lithium by diimidazole ionic liquid system mainly occurred in the two-phase interface region.The apparent activation energy of the extraction reaction was Ea=13.671 kJ/mol and the extraction reaction was controlled by diffusion.The kinetic equation of lithium extraction by TBP-[C4(mim)2][FeCl4]-MIBK system was RLi=1.291×10-2[Li+]0.995[TBP]2.051[C4(mim)2·FeCl4-]0.937.
