“…The recovery of amino acids by reactive extraction has been described by numerous authors. Bart et al and Pursell et al investigated the extraction of phenylalanine with the amine‐based cation exchanger Aliquat 336, while Rüffer et al , Rüffer , and Takors et al extracted phenylalanine in situ from a fermentation broth using the anion exchanger di‐(2‐ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) dissolved in kerosin. Oniscu et al , Cascaval et al , , and Kloetzer et al investigated the extraction of acidic, neutral, and basic amino acids as a function of the pH by means of the solvent system D2EHPA + n ‐butyl acetate.…”
