Sorption recovery of nickel(II) and cobalt(II) in their joint presence in sulfuric acid solutions was studied on new samples of domestic ion exchangers of CYBBER brand. It was shown that the ion exchangers under study have a high sorption capacity for ions of both nonferrous metals, depending on the structure of a sorbent and on the acidity of a contacting solution. It was found that, after Co(II) and Ni(II) ions are extracted from weak or strong sulfuric acid solutions, they can be effectively eluted from the ion exchangers under study with a 2 M hydrochloric acid solution to an extent of 85–95% (nickel) and 87–95% (cobalt).

Detection limits of 60, 109, 112 and 115ng for cobalt(II), nickel(II), iron(II) and manganese(II), respectively, were obtained with flame-ionization detection. Various liquid phases, including OV-1, SE-30, and Dexsil 300 were used. The best results were obtained on columns of 5% Dexsil 300. No appreciable thermal decomposition was observed on stainless-steel or glass columns, but the best formed peaks were obtained on all-glass columns. The elution of the metallic species was confirmed by venting the exit gases from the gas chromatograph directly into an atomic-absorption spectrophotometer.     

Analytical Separation of Copper(II), Cobalt(II) and Nickel(II) Using Polymer Bound Anthrantic Acid

Abstract

The preferential complexing tendency of different nietal ions towards chelating agents anchored on a polymer has been used for separation of transition metals. the anthranilic acid group was anchored on the polymeric cellulose back-bone by successive coupling with trifunctional reagent cyanuric chloride, in diozane medium, at pH 7 and 9–10, respectively.

Abstract

The solvent extraction of the transition metals(II)4-(2-thia-zolylazo)resorcinol(TAR) chelate anions with cation of zephiramin (Z⁺ Cl^?) was spectrophotometrically investigated. The composition of the extracted species was estimated to be 2Z⁺ MR₂ ^2-, which had the absorption maxima in the same ranges of wavelength at about 550 nm, and the constant extractions were obtained at pH 6.7–10.2 for cobalt, 7.2–9.1 for nickel, 8.2–10.1 for zinc, and 8.5–10.7 for copper system. In the presence of sodium chloride, cobalt chelate could be effectively separated from the other transition metals. The extraction equilibrium was also investigated and the extraction constants were calculated.

Trisacetylacetonates of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) with the tetrabutylammonium cation at the outer sphere

Conclusions The trisacetylacetonates of cobalt and nickel with the tetrabutylammonium cation in the outer sphere have been synthesized by the interaction of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide, acetylacetone, and the dihydrates of cobalt and nickel bisacetylacetonates. The nickel complex is thermally more stable than the cobalt complex. When heated in vacuum, both complexes decompose into tetrabutylammonium acetylacetonate and anhydrous acetylacetonates of cobalt(II) and nickel(II).Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 975–978, May, 1986.

Copper(II), nickel(II), cobalt(II) and zinc(II) complexes of 2-[2-(6-methylbenzothiazolyl)azo]-5-dimethylaminobenzoic acid: synthesis,spectral, thermal and molecular modelling studies

Complexes of copper(II), nickel(II), cobalt(II), and zinc(II) with 2-[2-(6-methylbenzothiazolyl)azo]-5-dimethylaminobenzoic acid have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, vibrational spectra, magnetic susceptibility measurements, conductance measurements and e.p.r. spectra.

All complexes are found to be monomers. The stability of the complexes follow the order: copper(II) > nickel(II) > cobalt(II) > zinc(II).     

PVC matrix membrane electrodes based on cobalt and nickel phenanthroline complexes for selective determination of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) ions

Potentiometric sensors for determining cobalt and nickel ions are described. They are based on the use of cobalt and nickel tris(1,10-phenanthroline)-TPB as electroactive compounds dispersed in plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) matrix. The sensors exhibit fast, near-Nernstian responses for cobalt and nickel-phenanthroline cations over the pH range 3–11 with a slope of 30.3 ± 0.3 mV/concentration decade. In the presence of excess 1,10-phenanthroline reagent, cobalt(II) and nickel(II) ions at concentration levels as low as 4 × 10^–6 M are accurately determined. The results show an average metal ion recovery of 98.5% with a mean standard deviation of 0.5%. Cobalt in organometallic compounds and nickel in silicate rocks are determined by these sensors and results agreeing fairly well with atomic absorption spectrometry are obtained.

Extractive separation of Cu<Superscript>2+</Superscript>–Co<Superscript>2+</Superscript> and Ni<Superscript>2+</Superscript>–Co<Superscript>2+</Superscript> mixtures using <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-salicylideneaniline

A study on the extraction of copper(II), cobalt(II), and nickel(II) from solutions containing ions of both metals with N-salicylideneaniline(SAN) in chloroform has been realized. Distribution of the metal ions in wide range of pH has been studied. Extraction of copper(II) was always favored over that of cobalt(II). Extraction of copper(II) from binary metal solution is selective and it can be quantitatively separated from cobalt(II). The equilibrium constant of the extraction of cobalt and nickel from an aqueous solution containing both metals using SAN were evaluated. The separation factors for cobalt and nickel were expressed as a function of the distribution of nickel and cobalt. From these results, salicylideneaniline is an adequate extractant for extractive separation of such mixtures.     

Iron(II), cobalt(III), nickel(II) and copper(II) chelates of furan and thiophene azo-oximes

Summary Complexes of furan and thiophene azo-oximes with iron(II), cobalt(III), nickel(II) and copper(II) have been prepared and characterised. Iron(II), cobalt(III) and copper(II) complexes are diamagnetic in the solid state. The diamagnetism of the copper(II) chelates is suggestive of antiferromagnetic interaction between two copper centres.¹H n.m.r. spectral data suggest atrans-octahedral geometry for the tris-chelates of cobalt(III). Nickel(II) complexes are paramagnetic, in contrast to the diamagnetism of the analogous complexes of arylazooximes. The electronic spectra are suggestive of octahedral geometry for the iron(II), cobalt(III) and nickel(II) complexes, andD _4h -symmetry for copper(II). Infrared data indicate N-bonding of the oximino-group to the metal ions.     

Simulation of equilibria of formation of mono- and polynuclear heteroligand cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexonates in aqueous solutions

We report the results of our studies of the protolytic and coordination equilibria of formation of mono- and polynuclear heteroligand complexonates containing cobalt(II) and nickel(II) salts and EDTA, as well as monoamine complexons, such as iminodiacetic acid and hydroxyethyliminodiacetic acid. The experimental data obtained by absorption spectrophotometry were processed using the mathematical models that allowed us to assess the probability of existence of a broad range of complex species in the solution and to select the species sufficient for the experimental data to be reconstituted from them. The compositions of the polynuclear heteroligand cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexonates were determined. The pH ranges of their existence were found; the equilibrium constants of the reactions and the stability constants of the resulting complexes were calculated. An assumption is made about their structure.     

Molecular modeling study of the aggregation behavior of nickel(II), cobalt(II), lead(II) and zinc(II) bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate complexes

The physiochemical nature of the metal-extractant species in organic solvent has been a matter of debate over liquid-liquid extraction of transition metals by bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate. The aggregation behavior of nickel(II), cobalt(II), lead(II), and zinc(II) bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate have been investigated using molecular modeling. The recently confirmed "open" water channels rodlike reversed micelles which is in contact with the nonaqueous solvent rather than in an inner core (or "closed" water channel) of the nickel-extractant species by Ibrahim and Neuman appears to be a unique structure for such species. Lead-, cobalt- and zinc-extractant species behave in a different manner. The cobalt-extractant species form rodlike reversed micelles, but does not show the formation of any open water channel. The zinc- and lead-extractant species form ellipsoidal (or deformed spherical) reversed micelles with fewer water molecules located at the core of the micelles which is in accord with the conventional view of reversed micelles. The structural variations of the reversed micelles for the metal extracted species are in accord with the known extraction behavior of such metals when using HDEHP.
