Simultaneous determination of neodymium and erbium in rare earth mixture with 5,7-dibromo-8-hydroxyquinoline and TX-100 by third-derivative spectrophotometry

The absorption spectra of 4f electron transitions of the complexes of neodymium and erbium with 5,7-dibromo-8-hydroxyquinoline in the presence of octylphenol poly(ethyleneglycol)ether have been studied by normal and third-derivative spectrophotometry. The proposed method is free of interference of other rare earths. The calibration graphs were linear up to 18 g/ml of neodymium and 21 g/ml of erbium (in the final solution). The derivative molar absorptivities are 395 l.mol^–1.cm^–1 for neodymium and 3421.mol^–1.cm^–1 for erbium. The corresponding values of Sandell's sensitivity were 0.36 and 0.49 g.cm^–1, respectively. The relative standard deviations evaluated from ten independent determinations of 2.5 g/ml of neodymium and erbium are 1.5 and 3.8% for neodymium and 1.8 and 4.1% for erbium in absence and presence of 70 g of lanthanum, respectively. The detection limits (signal to noise ratio=2) are 0.23 g/ml for neodymium and 0.30 g/ml for erbium. The method has been used for the determination of neodymium and erbium in mixed rare earths with satisfactory results.

Studies on extraction of chromium (VI) from acidic solutions containing various metal ions by emulsion liquid membrane using Alamine 336 as extractant

The extraction of chromium (VI) ions from acidic solutions containing various metal ions by emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) was studied. Liquid membrane consists of a diluent, a surfactant, and an extractant. 0.5 M ammonium carbonate solution was used as stripping solution. Effects of acid concentration in feed solution, type and concentration of stripping solution, mixing speed, surfactant concentration, phase ratio and the influence of membrane characteristics were studied and optimum conditions were determined. Under the optimum conditions, extraction of chromium (VI) was tested and it was possible to selectively extract 99% of chromium from the acidic feed solution. This study also examined the effect of extractant concentration and acid type in the feed solution on the extraction of Cr (VI) ions and almost all of Cr (VI) from the acidic feed solution containing 500 mg/L from each of Co (II), Ni (II), Cd (II), Zn (II), and Cu (II) ions, and 100–500 mg/L Cr (VI) was extracted within 5–10 min.

Emulsion liquid membrane extraction of Ni(II) and Co(II) from acidic chloride solutions using bis-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid as extractant

An emulsion liquid membrane process using bis-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) to extract and separate Ni(II) and Co(II) from acidic chloride solutions is described. Liquid membrane consists of a diluent, a surfactant (Span 80), and an extractant (D2EHPA). Hydrochloric acid was used as the stripping solution. The important parameters governing the permeation of nickel and their effect on the separation process have been studied. These parameters are stirring speed, feed phase pH, surfactant concentration, extractant concentration, stripping phase concentration, phase ratio, initial concentration of metal, and treatment ratio. The optimum conditions have been determined. The separation factors of Ni(II) with respect to Co(II), based on initial feed concentration, have been experimentally determined. Furthermore, the extraction selectivity for Co(II) over Ni(II) has been improved by using D2EHPA during the initial minutes.     

Determination of 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate in tuberculin solutions by planar and high performance liquid chromatography

Summary TLC and HPLC methods for the determination of the preservative, 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate in PPD-T tuberculin solution were developed. The planar chromatography method involved separation of 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate on a TLC plate using a butyl-acetate: formic acid: 2-propanol mobile phase, detection and quantitation by densitometric scanning. The HPLC method was on a LiChrosorb RP-18 column with acetonitrile-water (65:35 v/v) mobile phase, adjusted to pH 3.05 by phosphoric acid. Linearity, reproducibility and accuracy were found to be satisfactory. Under selected conditions, the limit of detection (LOD) of both methods was similar-about 25 ng.

Synthesis and characterization of beta-cyclodextrin inclusion complex containing di(8-hydroxyquinoline) magnesium

The beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) inclusion complex containing di(8-hydroxyquinoline)magnesium was prepared. The product was characterized by NMR, IR, differential thermal thermogravimetric analysis (DT-TGA), spectrofluorimetry, and elemental analysis, indicating the formation of inclusion complex in which the quinoline rings of the guest were encapsulated within the beta-CD cavities. The Job's method provided 2:1 stoichiometry for the inclusion complex between beta-CD and di(8-hydroxyquinoline)magnesium. The association constant calculated with the modified Benesi-Hildebrand equation at 25 degrees C was determined. And the mean association constant was 3577 (L/mol)2, R.S.D. was 2.58%. The thermal stability and solubility of di(8-hydroxyquinoline)magnesium were improved when forming inclusion complex.     

Solid phase extraction preconcentration of cobalt and nickel with 5,7-dichloroquinone-8-ol embedded styrene-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate polymer particles and determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS)

This article explores the synthesis of styrene-divinyl benzene (DVB)/ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) polymers embedded with quinoline-8-ol (Q) or its dihalo derivatives by thermal means in the presence and absence of 4-vinyl pyridine (VP). The above-synthesized polymers were found to enrich cobalt and nickel present in admixtures. Of these, 5,7-dichloroquinoline-8-ol (DCQ) embedded styrene-EGDMA polymer particles enrich cobalt and nickel quantitatively from dilute aqueous solutions within 5 min of preconcentration time. Styrene-EGDMA, DCQ embedded styrene-EGDMA particles obtained by bulk polymerization and cobalt/nickel bonded polymers were characterized by FTIR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), elemental analysis and surface area studies. The use of these polymer particles obtained by bulk polymerization for the solid phase extractive preconcentration of cobalt and nickel was investigated in detail and explores the possibility of employing this procedure for the analysis of cobalt and nickel in soil and sediment samples using a simple, low cost and readily available flame atomic absorption spectrometric instrument was explored.     

Performance Evaluation of Nickel Separation and Extraction Process from Simulated Spent Cr/Ni Electroplating Bath Solutions by ELM Process Using LIX63 and PC88A

The study was conducted to investigate synergistic extraction of nickel from simulated spent Cr–Ni electroplating bath solutions by emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) process using 5,8-diethyl-7-hydroxydodecan-6-one oxime (LIX 63) and 2-ethylhexylphosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester (PC88A) as carriers. The importance of ELM composition and the properties of simulated spent electroplating bath solution have been optimized to synergistically extract nickel. The important parameters affecting the nickel extraction efficiency and ELM stability, such as acid concentration, stripping solution type and concentration, extractant concentration, surfactant concentration, and phase ratio, were experimentally studied. Along with obtained results, higher than 99% of nickel was selectively extracted within 30 minutes from simulated electroplating bath solutions that their metal concentrations was in the range of 100–500 mg/L. in the optimum conditions. The higher separation factor value of nickel over chromium (β_Ni/Cr) was obtained as 898. As a result, the nickel extraction kinetic was found to depend on PC88A, since extraction mechanism of PC88A is slower than that of LIX63. So, the combined use of LIX63 and PC88A improved the selective extraction of nickel in that process.     

In vitro antimicrobial-activity studies on the mixed ligand complexes of Hg(II) with 8-hydroxyquinoline and salicylic acids

A series of mixed ligand complexes of Hg(II) with the general formula Hg (OX) (SA) (where OX: 8-hydroxyquinoline, SA: salicylic, 5-chloro-, 3,5-dibromo, 3,5-diiodo, 3,5-dinitro, acetyl thiosalicylic acids) are isolated in pure state and characterised by elemental analysis and infrared data. The low molar conductance of the complexes in dimethylformamide indicates non-electrolyte nature. The antimicrobial activity of these complexes against various bacteria and fungi is studied which indicates that in several cases, the mixed ligand complexes possess fairly highly antimicrobial activity than the binary mercury-oxinate. The lipophilic tendency of these complexes and its influence on the antimicrobial activity is critically examined. A probable mechanism for the toxic action of these complexes against various organisms is discussed.     

Selective separation of trace nickel(II) and gold(I) ions via hollow fiber supported liquid membrane enhanced by synergistic extractants D2EHPA/TBP

This work presents the selective and simultaneous separation of nickel (Ni²⁺) and gold ([Au(CN)₂]⁻) ions, in trace amounts, from alkaline solution via hollow fiber supported liquid membrane (HFSLM) technique. HFSLM is challengingly carried out in real rinse wastewater generated by the ENIG plating process. The influence of various chemical parameters, including the type of extractant and their concentrations, molar ratios of mixed extractant as well as type of strippant, are also studied. The organophosphorus extractant mixtures of D2EHPA and TBP provide a synergistic effect for target Ni²⁺ ions but has an antagonistic effect as regards the extraction of non-target [Au(CN)₂]⁻ ions. Compared to other inorganic acids, HCl is seen to be the most suitable strippant for the selective stripping. Results demonstrate that percentages of extraction and stripping of Ni²⁺ ions achieved 85.7 and 83.2%, respectively. In contrast, percentages of extraction and stripping of non-target [Au(CN)₂]⁻ ions attained 15.6 and 1.94%.     

Separation of cobalt(II) from nickel(II) by solid-phase extraction into Aliquat 336 chloride immobilized in poly(vinyl chloride)

A solid-phase absorbent obtained by the immobilization of Aliquat 336 chloride in poly(vinyl chloride) is reported to extract preferentially Co(II) from its 7 M hydrochloric acid solutions containing Ni(II). Under the experimental conditions there was no extraction of Ni(II) which allowed the complete separation of these two ions. Co(II) was rapidly and quantitatively back-extracted with deionised water. A mechanism for the extraction of Co(II) is proposed based on the formation of the ion-pair A⁺[HCoCl₄]⁻ where A⁺ is the Aliquat 336 cation. Fe(III) and Cd(II), usually present in Co(II) and Ni(II) samples, were also extracted into the solid-phase absorbent though at a slower rate than Co(II) and they did not interfere with the separation of Co(II) from Ni(II). It was also demonstrated that this approach allowed the complete separation of Ni(II) from the other metal ions mentioned above.     

Extraction of lutetium(III) from aqueous solutions by employing a single fibre‐supported liquid membrane

Transport behaviour of Lu(III) across a polypropylene hollow fibre‐supported liquid membrane containing di(2‐ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (DEHPA) in dihexyl ether as a carrier has been studied. The donor phase was LuCl₃ in the buffer solution consisting of 0.2 M sodium acetate at pH 2.5–5.0. A miniaturised system with a single hollow fibre has been operated in a batch mode. The concentration of Lu(III) was determined by indirect voltammetric method using Zn–EDTA complex. The effect of pH and volume of the donor phase, DEHPA concentration in the organic (liquid membrane) phase, the time of extraction and the content of the acceptor phase on the Lu(III) extraction and stripping behaviour was investigated. The results were discussed in terms of the pertraction and removal efficiency, the memory effect and the mean flux of Lu(III). The optimal conditions for the removal of ¹⁷⁷Lu(III) from labelled ¹⁷⁷Lu‐radiopharmaceuticals were discussed and identified. The removal efficiency of Lu(III) greater than 99% was achieved at pH of the donor phase between 3.5 and 5.0 using DEHPA concentration in the organic phase of 0.47 M and the ratio of the donor to the acceptor phase of 182.

Extraction of cadmium from aqueous solutions by emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) using three different carriers dissolved in a 70:30 ratio of sunflower oil to kerosene

This study explores the use of novel green emulation liquid membranes (GELMs) for the simultaneous extraction and stripping of Cd (II) from aqueous solutions. A solute is transported through the membrane due to the presence of the carrier and then concentrated in the internal phase. Soybean, sunflower, corn, and canola oils were used to form green substitutes to petroleum-based organic diluents for use as GELMs. Bis-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (D2EHPA), tri-butyl- phosphate (TBP), and trioctylamine (TOA) were the extractants, span 80 was the emulsifier, and HCl or H₂SO₄ was used as the stripping agent. The best conditions for maximum extraction efficiency (98.68%), stripping efficiency (97.14%), and lowest membrane breakage (0.9%) were achieved using a mixture of sunflower oil and kerosene in the ratio of 70:30. The other optimum values of the variables were: 2% (v/v) Span 80, 10 min emulsification time, 12700 rpm emulsification speed, 400 rpm of agitation speed, 5% (v/v) D2EHPA, an external phase pH was 3.5, an internal phase of 0.25 M HCl, and 5:1 of the treat ratio (external phase to emulsion) at 10 min contact time. The synthesized membrane was reused eight times, with approximately the same efficiency and no significant breakage during the first seven cycles.

Activity coefficients from the emf of liquid membrane cells V. alkaline earth hexacyanoferrates (III) in aqueous solutions at 25°C

The relative mean activity coefficients of the M₃[Fe(CN)₆]₂ salts, M=Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, are measured down to about 5×10^–6 mol-kg^–1 using the liquid membrane cell method. In the dilute region these salts display negative instead of positive deviations from the limiting law, contrary to Debye-Hückel's theory predictions. An indirect method based on auxiliary emf measurements in MCl₂, K₃Fe(CN)₆ and KCl, rather than a theory-assisted direct extrapolation to zero of the relative activity coefficients, is used to identify the actual values of the activity coefficients. The data are compared with Mayer's theory, ion-pair theory and numerical integration of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation. Best-fit coefficients of Pitzer's equation which meet the activity coefficients of the M₃[Fe(CN)₆]₂ salts to be reproduced, are reported.
