In this work, we evaluated the enhancement effect on the extraction of Cu 2+ from water by introducing ultrasound and air disturbance in a spiral microchannel device. We used 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester (P507) as an extractant and used kerosene as a solvent. The effects of flow rate, temperature, initial pH of water, organic/aqueous phase ratio (O/A), the concentration of extractant, and the inner diameter of the pipe on the extraction of Cu 2+ were investigated in liquid-liquid micro-extraction (LLME), ultrasonic micro-extraction (UME), and liquid-liquid-gas micro-extraction (LLGME). We found that, at a similar extraction rate, the extraction capacity per unit of time of UME was five times that of LLME, and the extraction capacity per unit of time of LLGME was 10 times that of LLME. By comparing the effects of three methods on extracting Cu 2+ , we followed the following priority order: LLGME > UME > LLME. The results of three-stage extraction under optimum conditions were also studied. The results revealed that the highest extraction rate of the three methods could reach about 92% with the processing time of 72 seconds under optimal conditions.
