Separation of metal halide pairs using Amberlite LA-2 and tri-n-butyl phosphate

Separation factors of silver-cadmium and silver-zinc pairs were determined for Amberlite LA-2 and tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) from pure hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulphuric and orthophosphoric acids as well as from their binary mixtures. The separation of cadmium and zinc from macroamounts of silver can be best achieved from ca. 2M H₂SO₄. There are many other media suitable for the separation of trace silver from cadmium and zinc matrices.     

Reversed Phase Extraction Chromatographic Separation Of Scandium With Amberlite LA-1 From Malonate Solutions

Abstract

Scandium was extracted at pH 5.0 from 0.01 M malonic acid on silica gel column impregnated with Amberlite LA-1. Nickel, zinc, cadmium, mercury, lead, tin, aluminium, and lanthanum in binary mixtures because they could not form malonato complexes. It was separated by the process of selective elution from elements such as zirconium, thorium, uranium, iron(III), gallium, indium, cerium(III), litanium by exploiting difference in stability of malonato complexes. Scandium was separated from multicomponent mixture containing yttrium, titanium, zironium, thorium, uranium and aluminium by a process of selective sorbtion and selective elution.     

Equilibrium and kinetics of Zn(II) bromide extraction with Amberlite LA-2 and methyl isobutyl ketone

The rates of extraction of Zn(II) from hydrobromic acid solutions into benzene solutions of the liquid anion exchanger Amberlite LA-2 and those into methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) have been investigated. The distribution equilibria of this system have been also studied. Under the used experimental conditions the extracted species of Zn(II) have been proposed. The kinetic data indicated a first order reaction with respect to Zn(II) in both systems, nearly one with respect to HBr and from 0–0.38 for LA-2. In case of extraction of Zn(II) with methyl isobutyl ketone, MIBK, the reaction order with respect to MIBK was found to be 4 and with respect to HBr inverse first order. The rate constants of these extraction processes were determined and the rate determining steps were discussed in the light of the obtained results.     

Synergistic effect between metal coordination and hydrogen bonding in phosphate and halide recognition

The equilibrium constant for binding of dimethyl phosphate to a Co(III) complex in water increases from 6.2 to 210 M-1 upon addition of a single hydrogen bond between the bound phosphate and the metal complex. Crystal structure reveals that the hydrogen bond distance is 1.96 A. The synergistic effect between metal coordination and hydrogen bonding can also be observed for fluoride binding but not for bromide binding.     

Speciation of chromium in wastewater and sludge by extraction with liquid anion exchanger Amberlite LA-2 and electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry

A simple, integrated method for the speciation of chromium in wastewater and sewage sludge was developed, utilising liquid anion exchange by Amberlite LA-2 (LAES) and final determination by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS). Samples were filtered through a 0.45 μm membrane filter and chromium species were determined in filtered water samples and in sludge on the filters. In the former case (filtrate), total Cr was determined directly by ETAAS, while for the determination of Cr(VI) the filtrate was buffered to pH 6.4, extracted with LAES and Cr(VI) was determined in the organic extract. Cr(III) was determined by the difference. In the latter case (filter), the filters were leached with an alkaline buffer solution (pH 12.7) and the supernatant was subjected to the same extraction procedure. For the determination of total leachable Cr, the filters were subjected to acid leaching with dilute HNO₃ (pH 1) and the supernatant was subjected to ETAAS, after appropriate dilution with water. Then, Cr(III) was determined by the difference. The limits of detection (LOD) were 0.39 and 0.45 μg l⁻¹ for total Cr and Cr(VI), respectively, in the dissolved phase and 2.10 and 0.87 ng g⁻¹ for total Cr and Cr(VI) in the suspended solids. The recoveries of total Cr and Cr(VI) in filtrated wastewater samples and filters were quantitative, ranged from 93 to 106%. The effect of time and temperature of sonication and suspended solids concentration on total Cr and Cr(VI) recovery was studied. No significant difference in recoveries was obtained for sonication temperatures between 30 and 70 °C. However, sonication time equal to or higher than 30 min and concentration of suspended solids equal to or less than 30 mg significantly improved Cr recovery. The ETAAS program for the determination of Cr(VI) in Amberlite/MIBK extract was carefully optimised in the absence of a chemical modifier to avoid memory effects. The developed analytical method was applied for the determination of chromium species in wastewater and suspended solids of a municipal and a lab-scale wastewater treatment plant.     

Reversed phase extraction chromatographic separation of thorium with Amberlite LA-1 from malonate solutions

Thorium was extracted at pH 5.0 from 0.01 M malonic acid on a column of silica gel coated with Amberlite LA-1. Thorium was separated from alkali and alkaline earths, managenese, iron, cobalt, nickel, zinc, tin, in binary mixtures by taking advantage of the difference in the pH of formation of malonato complexes. Thorium was separated from zirconium, uranium, scandium, molybdenum, titanium, by exploiting the difference in the stability of malonato complexes. The method was extended for the analysis of thorium in monazite.

Theoretical analysis of the structure and intramolecular dynamics of imidazolium halide and N-methylimidazolium halide ion pairs

A plant for the theoretical analysis of the structure and intramolecular dynamics of ion pairs of organic salts based on the combined use of the results of quantum-chemical calculations and molecular mechanics has been proposed. The potential-energy surfaces of the interionic interactions in imidazolium halide and N-methylimidazolium halide ion pairs have been investigated, and the equilibrium geometric parameters and frequencies of the interionic vibrations have been determined. It has been established that these ion pairs should be classified as stereochemically nonrigid molecules.Deceased.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 21, No. 5, pp. 522–529, September–October, 1985.     

Separation of uranium and thorium using tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate as extractant

The distribution behavior of uranium and thorium has been investigated in a biphasic system of different aqueous nitric acid concentrations and a solution of tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (TEHP) inn-dodecane at 25°C. The effect of different uranium and thorium concentrations in the aqueous phase on the extraction of these metal ions is evaluated. These results indicate that TEHP is a better choice than tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) for the separation of²³³U from the irradiated thorium matrix.     

Separation of antimony from uranium using zirconium phosphate

Summary The distribution behaviour of antimony and uranium between zirconium phosphate and hydrochloric acid solutions of different concentrations has been determined. The effect of organic solvent addition to the aqueous phase on the distribution data has been investigated. In all cases, the separation factors are evaluated and discussed. The best separation factor was achieved using 1M HCl over all organic-aqueous solvent mixtures. Based on these findings, a procedure has been developed for the separation of antimony from uranium using a Chromatographic column loaded with zirconium phosphate and 1M HCl as eluant.

Tail-end purification of americium from plutonium loading effluents using a mixture of octyl (phenyl)-N,N-diisobutylcarbamoylmethylphosphine oxide and tri-N-butyl phosphate

The tail-end purification of Am from Pu loading effluents in 7.5M HNO₃ containing 160 mg l^–1 Am and 1.2 mg l^–1 Pu has been carried out. With 0.2M CMPO+1.2M TBP in dodecane as the extractant and stripping by 0.04M HNO₃+0.05M NaNO₂, the Pu level is brought down to 31.2 g l^–1. When the acidity was reduced to 4.2M HNO₃, one contact with 20% TLA/dodecane and subsequent extraction by a mixture of CMPO and TBP and stripping with 0.04M HNO₃+0.05M NaNO₂ gave Am samples without any detectable amounts of Pu. The recovery of Am was 90% by the first procedure and 98% by the second one.

Separation of gallium and indium from ores matrix by sorption on Amberlite XAD-2 coated with PAN

A chelating sorbent obtained by adsorption of 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN) on Amberlite XAD-2 was used for the preconcentration of Ga and In. The analytical characteristics of the chelating sorbent were investigated and optimun sorption conditions for these metals under dynamic conditions were established. A peristaltic pump is used to adjust the flow rate of the solution. Elements are collected from the column by using a mixture adjusted to a pH range of 4-7 and 6-12 by ammonia or ammonium chloride for Ga and In, respectively. The procedure developed was applied to the analysis of different ores.     

Solid phase extraction and determination of metal ions in aqueous samples using Quercetin modified Amberlite XAD-16 chelating polymer as metal extractant

A new chelating polymer has been developed using Amberlite XAD-16 anchored with Quercetin. The modified polymer was characterised by Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, surface area analysis and elemental analysis. The Quercetin anchored polymer showed superior binding affinity for Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) with greater than 95% adsorption under optimum conditions. The optimum pH conditions for the quantitative sorption of metal ions were studied. The developed method showed superior extraction qualities with high metal loading capacities of 387, 313, 195, 473, 210 and 320 µmol g^?1 for Cu(II), Co(II), Cr(III), Fe(III), Mn(II) and Ni(II), respectively. The rate of metal ion uptake i.e. kinetics studies performed under optimum levels, showed t _1/2 for Co(II), Cu(II), Cr(III), Fe(III), Mn(II) and Ni(II) is 20, 15, 25, 10, 30 and 15 min, respectively. Desorption of metal ions was effective with 10 mL of 2 M HCl prior to analysis using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The chelating polymer was highly ion selective in nature even in the presence of interferent ions, with a high preconcentrating ability for the metal ions of interest. The developed chelating polymer was tested on its utility with synthetic and real samples like river, tap water samples and also with multivitamin tablets. It showed relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) values of/less than 3.0% reflecting on the accuracy and reproducibility of data using the newly developed chelating polymer.     

Recognition of alkali metal halide contact ion pairs by uranyl-salophen receptors bearing aromatic sidearms. The role of cation-pi interactions

Hard anions have long been known to bind strongly to the uranium of uranyl-salophen complexes. Upon functionalization of the salophen framework with one or two benzyloxy substituents, efficient ditopic receptors for alkali metal ions are obtained. The solid-state structures of complexes formed by the two-armed receptor 1 with CsF and with the chlorides of K+, Rb+, and Cs+ reported here reveal the existence of dimeric supramolecular assemblies in which two receptor units assemble into capsules fully enclosing (MX)2 ion quartets. In addition to the strong coordinative binding of the anion to the uranyl center and to electrostatic cation-anion interactions, stabilizing interactions arise from coordination of each cation to six oxygens, three from each receptor, and most importantly, to two aromatic sidearms belonging to different receptors. There are marked differences in organization at the supramolecular level in the CsCl complex of the one-armed receptor 3, in that four uranyl-salophen units instead of two are assembled in a capsule-like arrangement housing a (CsCl)2 ion quartet. However, both receptors achieve the common goal of having each metal cation in close contact with carbon atoms of two aromatic rings. 1H NMR data provide strong evidence that cation-pi(arene) interactions with the sidearms participate in binding also in solution.
