Extraction of iridium(IV) by dihexyl sulfoxide from hydrochloric acid solutions

The extraction of iridium(IV) by dihexyl sulfoxide from hydrochloric acid solutions was studied. Optimum conditions for the extraction of iridium(IV) were determined. It was found that an ion-association mechanism of iridium(IV) extraction took place in the test extraction systems at a phase contact time of 10 min. As the phase contact time was increased, the extraction took place by a mixed mechanism. One extractant molecule was incorporated into the inner coordination sphere of the iridium(IV) ion. This decreased the charge of the extracted complex to unity.

Pm could be efficiently backextracted from both organic phases by pH 2.0 HNO₃ solution.

Extraction of rhodium(III) with sulfoxides from hydrochloric acid solutions

Extraction of rhodium(III) from hydrochloric acid solutions with dihexyl sulfoxide (DHSO) and with petroleum sulfoxides (PSOs) was studied, and the optimal conditions for its recovery were found. At a phase contact time of up to 0.5 h, the extraction of rhodium(III) with sulfoxides occurred mainly by an ionassociation scenario. If the phase contact time exceeds 0.5 h, a mixed extraction scenario predominated to form the extracted complexes (L · H⁺) · [RhCl₄L₂]-(DHSO)_o and PSO (LH⁺) · [RhCl₄(H₂O) · L]⁻. The protonation of the extraction agents occurred at the donor oxygen atoms of the sulfoxide group. When rhodium was extracted with PSOs, the coordination of the extractant molecule in the inner coordination sphere of the acido complex to the metal ion occurred through the donor sulfur atom of the sulfoxide group, while with the use of DHSO, through the donor atoms of sulfur and oxygen of the sulfoxide group. Electronic, ¹H NMR, and IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis were used to determine the composition of the extracted compounds and suggest their structure.

Experiments on extraction of gold(III) from hydrochloric acid solutions with isomeric aliphatic alcohols containing 6–12 carbon atoms showed that secondary alcohols recover AuCl_4? from acid solutions with higher distribution ratios than primary alcohols do. The best alcohol that can be recommended for the extraction of gold(III) from 3–6 M HCl solutions, taking into account the solubility and extraction ability of alcohols, is 2-octanol. The possibility of efficient stripping of gold(III) from the 2-octanol phase with ammonia or thiourea solutions was demonstrated.     

Extraction of gold(III) by sulfur-containing calix[4,6]arenes from hydrochloric acid solutions

Thiacalixarenes 1 and 2, thiacalixarene thioether 5, and calixarene thioethers 3a–3c, 4a, and 4b are compared with respect to gold(III) extraction from hydrochloric acid solutions. The gold extractability increases in the following order: 1,2 5 3a–3c, 4a, 4b. The effect of the substituents at the sulfur atom in R₂S and in 3a–3c, 4a, and 4b is identical when cooperative effects (CE) appear for calixarene thioethers. On the basis of the extraction stoichiometry and the activities of the components of the aqueous phase, the gold distribution in the form of (AuCl₃)_nL (n = 1?4) species is quantified for c_HCl from 0.5 to 6 mol/L. A correlation is found between the gold distribution constants into various diluents and the Kamlet-Taft parameter π*.     

Extraction of Am(III) by mixture of dihexyl N,N-diethylcarbamoylmethyl phosphonate and tributyl phosphate in benzene from nitric acid solutions

Extraction of Am(III) by dihexyl N,N-diethylcarbamoylmethyl phosphonate (CMP) in benzene from nitric acid solutions (pH 2.0 to 6.0M) has been studied. High extraction of Am(III) by CMP from 2–3M HNO₃ was observed. The species extracted was found to be Am(NO₃)₃·3CMP. The extraction was also done with mixtures of CMP+TBP and CMP+TOPO, where mixed species were extracted in the organic phase. The back-extraction experiments gave an efficient back-extraction of Am(III) by pH 2.0 (HNO₃) from the loaded CMP+TBP phase but a poor back-extraction from the loaded CMP+TOPO phase. The loading of Nd(III) by mixture of CMP and TBP was 50% of the CMP concentrations at a total Nd(III) concentration of 0.182M. The thermodynamic parameters of Am(III) extraction by a mixture of CMP and TBP were evaluated by temperature variation method, which suggests that the two-phase reaction is stabilized by enthalpy and opposed by entropy.

Extraction of zirconium(IV) from hydrochloric acid solutions by tri-octylamine and neutral donors

Solvent extraction of Zr(IV) from aqueous HCl solutions by mixtures of TOA and different organophosphorous bases in carbontetrachloride solvent have been found to be always higher than that by any single extractant. Synergism has been observed in the range of 2.4–9.6M HCl. Although the species extracted with neutral donor alone seems to be ZrCl₄·TOPO etc, with a mixture of extractants, however, the extracted species appears to be Q₂ZrCl₆·TOPO where Q is R₃NH. The extraction has also been found to increase with increase in the concentration of amines and neutral donors. Enhancement of extraction has been explained by the formation of a complex adduct in organic phase. Synergistic coefficients and apparent formation constants of the complex adducts have also been calculated.

The most effective extraction of palladium(II) was observed from 0.5–1 M HCl solutions. Extraction of palladium(II) from 1 M HCl solutions was found to occur through mixed (coordination and anion-exchange) mechanism. In the field of dominance of the anion-exchange mechanism of the extraction of palladium(II) with triacylated pentaethylenehexamine the concentration constant of palladium(II) extraction was calculated, and thermodynamic parameters of extraction were evaluated.     

Extraction of heterometal ruthenium(II) complexes by diphenyl(dibutylcarbamoylmethyl)phosphine oxide from nitrate-nitrite solutions

The synergistic extraction of [RuNO(NO₂)₄OH]^2? by diphenyl(dibutylcarbamoylmethyl)phosphine oxide (L) in the presence of nonprecious metal cations (M²⁺) is studied; the extraction occurs on the account of the formation of heterometal complexes [RuNO(NO₂)₄OHML_m] (M = Zn, Cu, Co, Ni) due to the addition of M²⁺ to ruthenium through the oxygen atoms of the OH and NO₂ groups and the bidentate coordination of L to M²⁺. The extraction constants for Ru/M complexes and ML_n(NO₃)₂ are determined. The variation in the extraction constants with changing M (Co, Zn, Cu > Ni) does not agree with the Irwing-Williams row, unlike the extraction with monodentate PO-containing extractants (Zn > Cu > Co > Ni). The feasibility of ruthenium extraction in the form of Ru/M complexes from complex nitrate-nitrite solutions is demonstrated.

Extraction of uranium from hydrochloric acid solutions by alkylated crown ethers

The extraction recovery of uranium from 1–10 mol/L hydrochloric acid solutions into solutions of alkylated crown ethers di-tert-butyldibenzo-18-crown-6 (DTBDB18C6) and di-tert-butyldicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (DTBDCH18C6) in organic solvents (nitrobenzene, 1,2-dichloroethane, chloroform, 1-octanol) was studied. It was found that with increasing HCl concentration, the value of the distribution coefficients of uranium (D) between the organic and aqueous phases increased to a maximum value at 9 mol/L HCl for DTBDB18C6 and 6–7 mol/L HCl for DTBDCH18C6. The properties of the solvent also greatly affect the values of D, reaching a maximum in the application of nitrobenzene, dichloroethane, or their mixture. Under these conditions, D for a 0.01 mol/L solution of DTBDCH18C6 in nitrobenzene is 830, which is the highest of known values. It was determined by the slope method and the complete saturation method that the extracted complexes of the studied alkylated crown ethers with uranyl ions have the 2 : 1 composition. Thus, new supramolecular extractants of uranium from hydrochloric acid solutions have been studied, having an extremely high extraction capacity, which can be used in the analytical and preparative chemistry of uranium.
