The unique physical and chemical properties of Gadolinium (Gd) promote an indispensible number of its application for crucial technologies. In order to satisfy the demands of high purity, the various methods are used to separate Gd from other rare earth elements, in which a solvent extraction provides a simple separation method for these elements. However, an optimization of big scale is consequent for the solvent consumption. To overcome such a problem as a contribution in green chemistry, hereby we study the big scale synthesis optimization of dibuthyldithiocarbamate (DBDTC) by full factorial experimental design and the extraction study for Gd(III). This research start with preparing design of experiment for ligand synthesis, then perform the process of synthesis and extraction of Gd(III) according to the design of experiment. The result of synthesis and extraction were characterized by various spectroscopy methods. The highest Scale up ligand synthesis of DBDTC on this research is 20-fold times with 80.03% yield and 1.25% precision. The result shows that the optimal condition for Gd-DBDTC extraction are at pH 6, the mol ratio of gadolinium and ligand is 1:4, and 60 minutes extraction time with 76.52% yield. Therefore, the synthesis of dibuthyldithiocarbamate ligand based on the experimental design can be developed for optimization of large-scale synthesis with high Gd(III) extraction yield.
