Anionenaustauschtrennungen der mit Tributylphosphat extrahierbaren Elemente. IV

Zusammenfassung Methoden zur Trennung verschiedener, mit TBP extrahierbarer Elemente unter Verwendung des stark basischen Anionenaustauschers Dowex 1, X8 in seiner Chloridform und einer wäßrig-organischen Mischung aus 30 Vol. % TBP, 60 Vol. % Methylglykol und 10 Vol. % 12-m Salzsäure wurden beschrieben. Insbesondere wurden Trennungen des Urans von Elementen untersucht, die von TBP aus salzsauren Lösungen gut und solche die mit TBP nur sehr schlecht extrahiert werden. Das unterschiedliche Adsorptionsverhalten läßt sich durch den dabei auftretenden KIALE-Effekt erklären. Das Verhalten der Elemente in der TBP-haltigen Mischung wurde mit dem in rein wäßrig-salzsauren Mischungen verglichen und der Unterschied durch obigen Effekt erklärt. Trennverfahren für Uran von In(III), Tl(III), Th(IV), Pb(II), Mn(II), Zr(IV), As(III, V), Sn(II, IV), Mo(VI), V(IV, V) und Sb(V) wurden angegeben. Bei der Trennung vom Wismut konnte eine Konkurrenz der beiden unterschiedlich stark adsorbierten Elemente um die funktionellen Gruppen des Harzes festgestellt werden, die dazu führt, daß nur ein Teil des Urans adsorbiert wird. Ähnlich konnte eine Wechselwirkung zwischen Uran und Mangan festgestellt werden, derzufolge das Mangan bevorzugt vom Harz eluiert wird. Weiters werden ein Verfahren zur Trennung der Elemente Selen und Tellur sowie verschiedene spektrophotometrische Methoden zur quantitativen Bestimmung der untersuchten Metallionen in TBP-haltigen Mischungen beschrieben.

Anion exchange separations of the elements extractable with tributyl phosphate. IV

Summary Methods are described for the separation of elements that can be extracted with TBP with the employment of the strongly basic anion exchanger Dowex 1, X8 in its chloride form and an aqueous-organic mixture of 30 vol.% TBP, 60 vol.% methylglycol, and 10 vol.% of 12M hydrochloric acid. In particular, separations of uranium were studied from elements that are extracted well by TBP from hydrochloric acid solutions and from those that are only poorly extracted by TBP. The differing adsorption behaviors may be explained through the resulting KIALE-effect. The behavior of the elements in the mixture containing TBP was compared with that in pure aqueous-hydrochloric acid mixtures and the difference was explained through the above effect. Separation-procedures are given for uranium from In(III), Tl(III), Th(IV), Pb(II), Mn(II), Zr(IV), As(III,V), Sn(II,IV), Mo(VI), V(IV,V) and Sb(V). In the separation from bismuth it was possible to establish the existence of a competition of the two differing strongly adsorbed elements for the functional groups of the resin, which leads to the fact that only a part of the uranium is adsorbed. Similarly there was found a reciprocal action between uranium and manganese, whose consequence was that the manganese is preferentially eluted. In addition, a procedure is described for the separation of the elements selenium and tellurium and also for various spectrophotometric methods for the quantitative determination of the studied metal ions in mixtures containing TBP.

     

Untersuchungen zur adsorptiven Anreicherung von Elementspuren an Adsorberharzen

Summary The adsorbability of metalhalogenocomplexes of 18 elements from hydrochloric or hydrobromic acid solutions on activated carbon, Amberlite XAD-4 and XAD-7 resins was examined. Only few of the complexes are selectively adsorbed with high adsorption rates. The preconcentrated elements can easily be eluated from the resins by 1 mol/l HCl in acetone and subsequently be determined by AAS. By addition of basic dyes, quaternary ammonium and tetraphenylphosphonium salts the adsorption rates of metallogenocomplexes are generally enhanced. The adsorption behaviour of the complexes is similar to that of corresponding solvent extraction systems.

Quantitative separation of gallium from zinc, copper, indium, iron(III) and other elements by cation-exchange chromatography in hydrobromic acid-acetone medium

Gallium can be separated from Zn, Cu(II), In, Cd, Pb(II), Bi(III), Au(III), Pt(IV), Pd(II), Tl(III), Sn(IV) and Fe(III) by elution of these elements with 0.50M hydrobromic acid in 80% acetone medium, from a column of AG50W-X4 cation-exchange resin. Gallium is retained and can be eluted with 3M hydrochloric acid. Separations are sharp and quantitative except for iron(III) which shows extensive tailing. With 0.20M hydrobromic acid in 80% acetone as eluting agent, all the species above except iron(III) and copper(II) can be separated from gallium with very large separation factors. Only a 1-g resin column and small elution volumes are required to separate trace amounts and up to 0.5 mmole of gallium from more than 1 g of zinc or the other elements. Hg(II), Rh(III), Ir(IV), Se(IV), Ge(IV), As(III) and Sb(III) have not been investigated, but should be separated together with zinc according to their known distribution coefficients. Relevant elution curves, results for the analysis of synthetic mixtures and for amounts of some elements remaining in the gallium fraction are presented.     

Selective and quantitative separation of zinc and lead from other elements by cation-exchange chromatography in hydrohalic acid-acetone solutions

Zinc and lead can be separated from Cd, Bi(III), In and V(V) by eluting these elements with 0.2M hydrochloric acid in 60% acetone from a column of AG50W-X8 cation-exchange resin, zinc and lead being retained. Mercury(II), Tl(III), As(III), Au(III), Sn(IV), Mo(VI), W(VI) and the platinum metals have not been investigated quantitatively, but from their distribution coefficients, should also be eluted. Vanadium(V), Mo(VI) and W(VI) require the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Zinc and lead can be eluted with 0.5M hydrochloric acid in 60% acetone or 0.5M hydrobromic acid in 65% acetone and determined by AAS; the alkali and alkaline-earth metal ions, Mn(II), Co, Ni, Cu(II), Fe(III), Al, Ga, Cr(III), Ti(IV), Zr, Hf, Th, Sc, Y, La and the lanthanides are retained on the column, except for a small fraction of copper eluted with zinc and lead. Separations are sharp and quantitative. The method has successfully been applied to determination of zinc and lead in three silicate rocks and a sediment.     

Separation of trace elements,In(III), Sn(IV), Sb(V) and Te(IV) by adsorption on activated carbon and graphite

Adsorption behaviour of trace elements, In(III), Sn(IV), Sb(V) and Te(IV) on activated carbon and graphite powder was studied. Adsorption characteristics of the ions enabled the separation of In(III)–Sn(IV), Sn(IV)–Sb(V) and Sb(V)–Te(IV) pairs. Applications to practical separation, milking of^113mIn from¹¹³Sn, removal of tin impurity from¹¹⁹Sb, and milking of¹¹⁹Sb from^119mTe, are presented.     

Extraktionsmethode zur Trennung kleiner Tellurmengen von Begleitelementen

Zusammenfassung Zur Trennung von Tellur aus Lösungen mit komplizierter Zusammensetzung wurde eine kombinierte Extraktionsmethode entwickelt. Die Extraktion von Eisen(III), Arsen(V), Antimon(V), Gold(III), Thallium(III), Wismut(III), Zinn(IV) und Selen(IV) erfolgt mit Diisopropyläther aus 8 M Salzsäure, wobei das gesamte Te(IV) in der wäßrigen Phase verbleibt. Diese wird dann mit Methylisobutylketon aus 4 M Salzsäure extrahiert, während in der wäßrigen Phase Kupfer(II), Aluminium(III), Silber(I), Nickel (II), Kobalt(II), Zink(II), Cadmium(II) und Blei(II) verbleiben. Die vollständige Abtrennung der Begleitelemente des Tellurs erfolgt durch zusätzliche Extraktion ihrer Kupferronate mit Methylisobutylketon bei pH 3–5. Das vorgeschlagene Extraktionsverfahren kann mit jeder bekannten Methode zur Bestimmung geringer Tellurmengen kombiniert werden.

Extraction method for the separation of small quantities of tellurium from accompanying elements

A new combined solvent extraction method is proposed for the separation of tellurium from solutions of complex composition. Iron(III), arsenic(V), antimony(V), gold(III), thallium(III)J bismuth(III), tin(IV) and selenium(IV) are extracted with diisopropyl ether from 8 M hydrochloric acid. Under these conditions tellurium(IV) is quantitatively retained in the aqueous phase. Subsequently tellurium(IV) is extracted from 4 M hydrochloric acid with methylisobutyl ketone, so that copper(II), aluminium(III), silver(I), nickel(II), cobalt(II), zink(II), cadmium(II) and lead(II) remain in. the aqueous phase. The complete separation of the accompanying elements is realized by an additional extraction of their cupferronates with methylisobutyl ketone at pH 3–5. The separation described can be combined with any known method for the determination of small amounts of tellurium(IV).

The oxidation states in which some elements react, and potential analytical separations, are discussed. Pd(II), As(III) and Se(IV) are completely extracted as ethyl xanthate complexes, Te(IV) is almost completely extracted, and Au(III) is largely extracted over the range of acid concentration investigated. Mn(II), Zn, Rh(III), Ir(IV), Ru(III), Os(IV), Cr(III), Cr(VI), Ce(III) and Ce(IV) are not extracted. Ge is partly extracted from 6-10M media as the chloro-complex. Depending on the acid concentration, the remaining elements are all partially extracted as xanthate complexes.     

Chloroform extraction of ethyl xanthate complexes from sulphuric acid media

The chloroform extraction of 30 elements (Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, Cd, Ge, Sn, V, As, Sb, Bi, Cu, Ag, Au, Mn, Re, Ga, In, Tl, Se, Te, Cr, Mo, U, Pt, Pd, Rh, Ir, Ru and Ce) from 0.1-8M sulphuric acid in the presence of potassium ethyl xanthate has been studied. Pd(II), Bi, As(III), Sb(III), Se(IV) and Te(IV) are completely extracted and Au(III) is largely extracted over the range of acid concentration investigated. Fe(II), Tl(I), Rh(III) and Cr(VI) are only slightly extracted and Se(VI), Te(VI), Ru(III), Cr(III), Mn(II), Zn, Ce(IV), Ir(IV) and Ge(IV) are not extracted at all. Depending on the acid concentration, the remaining elements are all partly extracted. Results are compared with those obtained in an earlier study of the extraction of xanthate complexes from hydrochloric acid media. The processes involved in the formation of some xanthate complexes and potential analytical separations are discussed.     

Spectrophotometric determination of copper(II) using oximidobenzotetronic acid

Summary Oximidobenzotetronic acid (OBTA) is proposed as a sensitive spectrophotometric reagent for the estimation of 0.5–3.0 ppm of copper(II) at 427 nm in 50% dioxan at p_H 5.3–7.5. For the estimation of 2 ppm Cu(II), 1.3 ppm Ni(II), 1.3 ppm Co(II), 3.2 ppm Fe(II), 10.3 ppm Fe(III), 9.7 ppm Ce(IV), 300 ppm acetate, 160 ppm oxalate, 95 ppm tartrate, 50 ppm citrate, as well as Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II)) Pb(II), Mn(II), As(III) as well as (V), Th(IV), Be(II), Ce(III), La(III), V(V) and Mo(VI), even when present in large quantities, do not interfere. The interference due to 25 ppm Bi(III), 20 ppm Sb(III), 20 ppm Sn(II), 25 ppm Sn(IV) and 30 ppm W(VI) can be removed by the addition of 95 ppm tartrate ions.

Zusammenfassung Oximidobenzotetronsäure wurde als empfindliches Reagens zur spektrophotometrischen Bestimmung von 0,5 bis 3,0 ppm Kupfer(II) bei 427 nm in 50%iger Dioxanlösung bei p_H 5,3 bis 7,5 vorgeschlagen. Die Anwesenheit von 1,3 ppm Ni(II), 1,3 ppm Co(II), 3,2 ppm Fe(II), 10,3 ppm Fe(III), 9,7 ppm Ce(IV), 300 ppm Acetat, 160 ppm Oxalat, 95 ppm Tartrat, 50 ppm Citrat sowie die Anwesenheit auch großer Mengen Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), Pb(II), Mn(II), As(III) bzw. (V), Th(IV), Be(II), Ce(III), La(III), V(V) und Mo(VI) stören die Bestimmung von 2 ppm Cu(II) nicht. Der störende Einfluß von 25 ppm Bi(III), 20 ppm Sb(III), 20 ppm Sn(II), 25 ppm Sn(IV) und 30 ppm W(VI) kann durch Zusatz von 95 ppm Tartrat beseitigt werden.

     

Selective separation of indium from zinc, lead, gallium and many other elements by cation-exchange chromatography in hydrohalic acid-acetone medium

Indium can be separated from Zn, Pb(II), Ga, Ca, Be, Mg, Ti(IV), Mn(II), Fe(III), Al, U(VI), Na, Ni(II) and Co(II) by selective elution with 0.50M hydrochloric acid in 30% aqueous acetone from a column of AG50W-X8 cation-exchange resin, all the other elements being retained by the column. Lithium is included in the elements retained by the column when 0.35M hydrochloric acid in 45% aqueous acetone is used for eluting indium, but the elution of indium is slightly retarded. Ba, Sr, Zr, Hf, Th, Sc, Y, La and the lanthanides, Rb and Cs should also be retained according to their distribution coefficients. Cd, Bi(III), Au(III), Pt(IV), Pd(II), Rh(III), Mo(VI) and W(VI) can be eluted with 0.20M hydrobromic acid in 50% aqueous acetone before the elution of indium, and Ir(III), Ir(IV), As(III), As(V), Se(IV), Tl(III), Hg(II), Ge(IV), Sb(III) and Sb(V), though not investigated in detail, should accompany these elements. Relevant distribution coefficients and elution curves and results for analyses of synthetic mixtures of indium with other elements are presented.     

Ion flotation behaviour of thirty-one metal ions in mixed hydrochloric/nitric acid solutions

The ion flotation of 31 metal ions in hydrochloric/nitric acid solution with the cationic surfactant cetylpyridinium chloride was investigated. A 25-ml portion of 0.27-2.87 x 10(-4)M metal ion and 1.8-6.0 x 10(-4)M cetylpyridinium chloride solution in 0.17-3.4M acid mixture ([HCl]:[HNO(3)] = 2.4:1) was subjected to flotation in a cell, 22.5 cm high and 4.0 cm in diameter, for 5 min, with nitrogen bubbles. Ir(IV), Pt(IV), Ge(IV), Sn(IV), Bi(III), Au(III), Tl(III), Pd(II) and Sn(II) were floated from solution in 95-100% yield; Ru(III), Rh(III), Ir(III), Hg(II), Ag(I) and Tl(I) were partly floated, while Cr(VI), Ti(IV), Zr(IV), Ga(III), In(III), Fe(III), Sb(III), Al(III), Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), CD(II) and Pb(II) were floated with less than 20% yield. The flotation behaviour of these metal ions in the mixed acid system was compared with that in hydrochloric acid. The flotation is more efficient in the mixed acid system.

Fluorescence characteristics of inorganic complexes in hydrochloric acid medium at liquid-nitrogen temperature

A study of the low-temperature fluorescence characteristics of the ions of 55 elements in concentrated hydrochloric acid is reported. The spectral characteristics, effects of hydrochloric acid concentration and time, calibration linearity and sensitivity for Sb(III), Bi, Ce(III), Pb, Te(IV), Tl(I) and Sn(IV) have been investigated. Uranium(VI), copper(I) and antimony(V) also exhibit fluorescence under these conditions. The detection limits using a commercial spectrofluorimeter with modified sample cells are Sb(III), 10(-6)M; Bi(III), 10(-8)M; Ce(III), 10(-7)M; Pb, 10(-8)M; Te(IV), 10(-7)M; Tl(I), 10(-6)M; Sn(IV), 10(-4)M. The suitability of some inorganic acid solvents for clear glass formation at -196 degrees is also investigated.     

The separation of In,Sn, and Sb by liquid-liquid extraction

Summary The extraction behaviour of In, Sn and Sb in HI and HCl media has been investigated and several separation procedures have been developed. Removal of Sb(V) from Sn(IV) is accomplished by extraction of Sb(V) from 7M HCl solution with isoamylacetate. Selective removal of Sn(IV) or In(III), or both, from Sb(V) is effected by extraction with benzene or isopropylether from HI solutions. The extractions are quite simple, rapid and efficient and therefore useful in the study of short-lived fission products.

Zusammenfassung Das Verhalten von In, Sn und Sb bei Extraktion aus Jodwasserstoffsaurem bzw. salzsaurem Milieu wurde untersucht und einzelne Trennungsverfahren ausgearbeitet. Die Trennung von Sb(V) und Sn(IV) erfolgt durch Extraktion des Antimons aus 7-m Salzsäure mit Isoamylacetat. Die selektive oder gemeinsame Trennung der Ionen Sn(IV) und In(III) von Sb(V) gelingt durch Extraktion mit Benzol oder Isopropyläther aus jodwasserstoffsaurer Lösung. Diese Extraktionen sind einfach, rasch durchführbar und wirksam und daher geeignet für die Untersuchung kurzlebiger Spaltprodukte.

Résumé On a étudié le comportement vis-à-vis de l'extraction de In, Sn et Sb dans les milieux HI et HCl et l'on a développé plusieurs procédés de séparation. On a réalisé la séparation de Sb(V) d'avec Sn(IV) par extraction de Sb(V) par l'acétate d'isoamyle à partir d'une solution HCl 7M. On a effectué la séparation sélective de Sn(IV) ou de In(III), ou des deux, d'avec Sb(V), par extraction par le benzène ou l'éther isopropylique à partir des solutions HI. Les extractions sont très simples, rapides et efficaces, et par conséquent d'une grande utilité dans l'étude des produits de fission à courte durée de vie.

Solvent Extraction Separation of Germanium(IV) with N-<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-Octylaniline As an Extractant

The extraction behavior of germanium(IV) from aqueous hydrochloric acid solution with N-n-octylaniline in xylene was investigated. Hydrochloric acid concentration higher than 9 M remained effective for quantitative extraction of germanium(IV). Phenylfluorone ion as a counter anion was used. More than 2% N-n-octylaniline provided quantitative extraction at 1 min equilibrium time and germanium(IV) was back extracted by 7 M ammonia. The method was free from the interference of a large number of metal ions and anions, except for Te(IV) and Sn(IV); this was avoided using the masking effect. Germanium(IV) was separated from associated elements in its binary mixture with Si(IV), Te(IV), Sb(III), Bi(III), Au(III), Cu(II), Zn(II), and its ternary mixture with Se(IV), Te(IV); Sb(III), Bi(III); and Au(III), Cu(II). The proposed method was applied to a synthetic sample containing associated metal ions. The results indicated that trace amounts of germanium(IV) could be separated effectively from higher amounts of other elements.__________From Zhurnal Analiticheskoi Khimii, Vol. 60, No. 5, 2005, pp. 463–467.Original English Text Copyright © 2005 by Sargar, Anuse.This article was submitted by the authors in English.     

Synthesis of poly(acrylamidrazone-hydrazide) chelating fiber and application of enrichment-separation for traces of indium, tin, chromium, vanadium and titanium from solution samples

A poly(acrylamidrazone-hydrazide) chelating fiber has been synthesized from polyacrylonitrile fiber and used for enrichment-separation of traces of In(III), Sn(IV), Cr(III), VO(I) and Ti(IV) from solution samples with satisfactory results. These ions (5-250 ng/ml) can be quantitatively enriched (recovery > 95%) by the fiber at a 10 ml/min flow rate in the pH range 4-7, and desorbed quantitatively (recovery > 95%) with 10 ml of 2-5M hydrochloric acid from a fiber column at 6 ml/min flow rate. When the fiber, which had been stored in a glass bottle for about two years and then treated with strong acids (concentrated hydrochloric or nitric acid), was reused 10 times, the recoveries of the above ions by enrichment were still over 94%, and hundred-fold to thousand-fold excesses of Cu(II), Zn(II), Co(II), Ca(II), Mg(II), Fe(III) and Al(III) caused little interference in the determination of these ions by ICP-AES. The lowest concentrations for the proposed method were 50 ng/ml and In and Sn and 5 ng/ml for Cr, V and Ti. The RSD was 1.2-4.0%. The contents of these ions in real solution samples determined by this method were basically in agreement with the certified values of the samples, with average errors below 3.3%. The IR spectra of the fiber adsorbed with Cr(III) or VO(I) showed that Cr(III) or VO(I) combined mainly with nitrogen atoms in the fiber to form a coordination complex.

Synthesis and Efficiency of an Epoxy-Urea Chelating Resin for Preconcentrating and Separating Trace Bi,In, Sn,Zr, V And Ti From Solution Samples

Abstract

A new epoxy-urea chelating resin was synthesized from epoxy resin and used for the preconcentration and separation of trace Bi(III), In(III), Sn(IV), Zr(IV), V(V) and Ti(IV) ions from solution samples. The analyzed ions can be enriched at pH 5 at a flow rate of 1–4 ml/min, and can be also desorbed with 10 mL of 2 M HCl +0.1g NH₄F solution from the resin column, with recoveries over 97%. The chelating resin reused 6 times can still adsorb quantitatively the Bi, In, Sn, Zr, V and Ti ions, and eighty to thousand-fold excesses of Ca(II), Mg(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Al(III), Sb(III), Ni(II), Mn(II) and Fe(III) cause little interference with the enrichment and determination of these ions. The RSDs of the proposed method for the determination of 500–50 ng/ml Bi, In and Sn, 50–5.0 ng/ml Zr, V and Ti were in the range of 0.4 ～ 4.0%, the enrichment factor of the resin for the ions is in the range of 10–100. The recoveries of added standard in waste water are between 96% and 100%, and the concentration of each ion in alloy steel sample determined by the method is in good agreement with the reference value analyzed by a steel plant with average error <2.8%.     

Evaluation of unsymmetrical dithiodiglycolamide as novel extractant for application in selective separation of palladium(II) from aqueous solutions

A novel unsymmetrical multidentate ligand namely; N,N'-dimetyl-N,N'-didecyldithiodiglycolamide (DMD³TDGA) was synthesized and used as agent for the selective extraction of palladium(II) from hydrochloric acid solutions. A systematic investigation was carried out on the extraction of Pd(II) using DMD³TDGA. The quantitative extraction of Pd(II) with DMD³TDGA in n-dodecane is observed at ~4 M HCl. The main extracted species of Pd(II) is PdC_l2. DMD³TDGA and IR spectra of the extracted species were investigated. The extraction of palladium(II) from various concentrations of hydrochloric acid solutions in the presence of metal ions, such as Pt(IV), Rh(III), Cr(II), Ni(II), Fe(III), Nd(III), Zr(II), and Mn(II) was carried. DMD³TDGA showed very high selectivity and extractability for Pd(II). Quantitative back extraction of Pd(II) was obtained in single contact using thiourea solution. The results obtained indicated that, excellent separation of Pd(II) from the investigated metal ions can be achieved. Five successive cycles of extraction/back-extraction, indicating excellent stability and re-utilization of this new extractant can be used for selective separation of Pd(II) from other elements in hydrochloric acid medium.
