Solvent extraction of lead(II) with N-cyclohexyl-N-nitrosohydroxylamine into methyl isobutyl ketone

The distribution equilibrium of the lead-cnha complex in the water-methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) system has been studied at 25 degrees . From graphical treatment of the equilibrium data, it was deduced that PbL(2) is the complex extracted. By use of the program LETAGROP-DISTR, values for the distribution and the stability constants of PbL(2) have been calculated: log K(DC) = 1.84 +/- 0.11; log beta(1) = 6.68 +/- 0.09 and log beta(2) = 10.28 +/- 0.09. On the basis of these results and those of previous studies, a method for determination of lead(II), copper(II) and cadmium(II) by atomic-absorption spectrometry, after extraction with cnha and 4-methylpyridine into MIBK, is proposed.     

Solvent extraction of Cd(II) with N-cyclohexyl-N-nitrosohydroxylamine and 4-methylpyridine into methyl isobutyl ketone

The distribution equilibria of the complexes cadmium-cnha and cadmium-cnha-4-methylpyridine in the water-methyl isobutyl ketone system have been studied at 25 degrees , by using (109)Cd as a radiotracer to measure the metal distribution ratio. A very sensitive method for detection of (109)Cd, based on the use of a liquid scintillator, has been developed. From the graphical treatment of the equilibrium data, it has been deduced that CdL(2) is the complex extracted in the absence of 4-methylpyridine, and that the adduct CdL(2)B is extracted when the second ligand is present. This model has been checked by treating the data with the program LETAGROP-DISTR and the following equilibrium constants have been obtained: stability constants of CdL(2), log beta(1) = 2.82 +/- 0.14, log beta(2) = 5.981 +/- 0.004; distribution constant of CdL(2), log K(DC) = -0.49 +/- 0.01; adduct formation constant of CdL(2)B, log K(s) = 2.70 +/- 0.07.     

Copper(II) complexes of isobutyl methyl ketone semicarbazone

Summary Copper(II) complexes of isobutyl methyl ketone semicarbazone have been prepared and characterised by magnetic moments, i.r., electronic and e.s.r. spectral studies. The complexes were found to have CuL₂X₂ and CuL₂X₂ · 2H₂O compositions. The electronic and e.s.r. spectra suggest a five-coordinated trigonal bipyramidal geometry, for the CuL₂X₂ complexes, (X=Cl^–, Br^–, NO ₃ ^– , and 1/2 SO ₄ ^2– ) and six-coordinate octahedral geometry has been suggested for CuL₂X₂ · 2H₂O (X=Cl^–, Br^–, NO ₃ ^– , SO ₄ ^2– ).     

Determination of germanium after extraction by methyl isobutyl ketone. II

Summary Germanium extracted by methyl isobutyl ketone from 7.5N hydrochloric acid solutions is made to react directly in the organic phase with phenylfluorone. Very stable colored solutions are obtained. The reaction is instantaneous and twice as sensitive as when carried out in aqueous medium with the same reagent. Optimum range of concentration for absorptiometric measurements was found to be 0.08 to 0.30g Ge/ml. Most of the interfering ions are separated by preliminary extraction of the cupferrates with the same ketone. W(VI) and Nb(V) are removed by previous extraction with excess thiocyanate in reducing medium making use of the same solvent. The procedure is applicable to the determination of germanium in coals.

Zusammenfassung Germanium wird aus 7,5-n Salzsäure mit Methylisobutylketon extrahiert und unmittelbar in der organischen Phase mit Phenylfluoron umgesetzt. Die Reaktion erfolgt sofort, ist doppelt so empfindlich als in wäßriger Phase und führt zu sehr stabil gefärbten Lösungen. Die für Absorptionsmessungen am besten geeignete Konzentration liegt zwischen 0,08 und 0,30g Ge/ml. Die meisten störenden Ionen werden durch vorhergehende Extraktion ihrer Cupferonate mit demselben Keton entfernt. Wolfram(VI) und Niob(V) werden mit demselben Lösungsmittel in Gegenwart überschüssigen Rhodanids in reduzierendem Milieu abgetrennt. Das Verfahren eignet sich für die Bestimmung von Germanium in Kohle.

Résumé On fait réagir directement le germanium avec la phénylfluorone, dans la phase organique, après son extraction par la méthylisobutylcétone de sa solution 7,5N chlorhydrique. On obtient ainsi des solutions colorées très stables. La réaction est instantanée et deux fois plus sensible que lorsqu'elle est effectuée en milieu aqueux avec le même réactif. Le domaine de concentration optimum pour les mesures absorptiométriques est situé entre 0,08 et 0,30g Ge/ml. La plupart des ions gênants sont séparés par une extraction préalable des cupferrates par la cétone. W(VI) et Nb(V) sont éliminés au cours d'une extraction préalable en présence d'un excès de thiocyanate en milieu réducteur et dans le même solvant. La technique est applicable à la détermination du germanium dans les charbons.

     

Extraction of vanadium into isobutyl methyl ketone

Because of its advantages in atomic-absorption spectroscopy, isobutyl methyl ketone was chosen as organic solvent for an extraction study on vanadium. Of eight chelating agents which were evaluated for completeness of extraction, ease of use, working pH range, and freedom from interference, cupferron was judged best.

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.     

Stereochemical versatility of Cu(II): Cu(II) complexes of benzyl methyl ketone semicarbazone

Copper(II) complexes of the general composition Cu(ligand)₂X₂ (where X = Cl, Br, NO₃, ClO₄, and $\text{1}\text{2}$SO₄) and Cu(ligand)(CH₃COO)₂ have been synthesised with benzymethylketonesemicarbazone. All the complexes prepared have been characterised by elemental analysis, magnetic moment, conductance, IR, electronic and electron spin resonance spectral studies. The complexes Cu(ligand)₂X₂ (X = Cl, Br, NO₃) and Cu(ligand)(CH₃COO)₂ may have tetragonal symmetry while the Cu(ligand)₂X₂ (ClO₄ and $\text{1}\text{2}$SO₄) may be five-coordinate trigonal bipyramidal in structure.

Studies on the extraction and determination of metals-I Extraction of hafnium into methyl isobutyl ketone and tributyl phosphate

The effect of various factors on the distribution of hafnium ( 5.60 × 10⁻⁴M) between different acids and methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) or tributyl phosphate (TBP) was studied by using ^{176 + 181} Hf as a tracer, when the extraction is made from 7.5–11M hydrochloric acid with an equal volume of IM TBP in benzene, hafnium is extracted quantitatively (>99%). The hafnium can be stripped with 1–3M hydrochloric acid.     

Ionic association of some tetraheptylammonium and tetraoctylphosphonium salts in methyl isobutyl ketone

The extent of ionic association of (hept)₄NCl, (hept)₄NBr, (hept)₄NI, (hept)₄N(NO₃) and (oct)₄P(NO₃) in methyl isobutyl ketone at 55°C has been measured by vapour pressure osmometry with matched thermistors. From the dependence of the osmotic coefficient on the solute concentration the equilibrium constants for ion-pair formation have been obtained for the five quaternary salts. These equilibrium constants are compared with the predictions of Bjerrum's ionic-association model and the Denison-Ramsay-Fuoss model. The latter model required a correction term for the entropy contribution.

Solvent extraction of thorium(IV) with dibutyldithiophosphoric acid in various organic solvents

The extraction of thorium(IV) from perchlorate solutions with di-n-butyldithiophosphoric acid (HBudtp) in various organic solvents occurs through an ion exchange mechanism. The extracted species in the organic phase is an eight-coordinate complex Th(Budtp)₄. The higher values of the distribution ratio obtained in HBudtp-benzene-water system than in HBudtp-n-butanol-water system are explained by higher solubility of the complex species in nonpolar solvents. The position of the extraction curves in the pH-range lower than 0.7 reduces the complexation of thorium(IV) with Budtp^– in the aqueous phase and also the hydrolysis process.     

the extraction of some metallic bromides from aqueous solutions with methyl ethyl ketone and methyl iso-butyl ketone

The extraction of the following metals from aqueous solutions containing excess bromide with methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and methyl isobutyl ketone MIBK has been investigated:—Cu(I), Cu(II), Zn(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Fe(II), Fe(III), Al(III), Mn(II), Sn(II) and Sn(IV). The use of MEK was found to be strictly limited by its solubility in acidic aqueous solutions. Determinations of the formulae of the extracted compounds were attempted in two cases but were found to be not wholly satisfactory and were discontinued. An interesting reaction between the cupric bromide complex and the solvents was noticed. Separations of Fe(IIl) from Mn(II), Fe(III) from Al(III), Fe(III) from Co(Il) and Fe(III) from Ni(II) could be achieved under suitable conditions.

Flash photolysis of chloride complexes of Cu(II) in organic solvents

By means of flash photolysis and low-temperature spectrophotometry, the formation of a complex between a Cu(I) ion and a peroxy radical of the solvent has been detected in ethanol, isopropanol, and dimethylformamide. The peroxy radical is generated in a reaction of a solvent radical with a molecule of dissolved oxygen. The solvent radical appears as a result of photoreduction of chloride complexes of Cu(II). The radical complex has a band in the optical absorption spectrum with a maximum at 415–420 nm in ethanol and isopropanol. The rate of formation of this complex is determined mainly by the reaction of the radical of the matrix (R^.) with complexes of bivalent copper. The rate constant of this process in isopropanol at room temperature is (2–3)·10⁸ liters/ mole·sec. Disappearance of the radical complex Cu(I)...RO₂ ^. takes place in a reaction with complexes Cu²⁺ _solv and CuCl⁺ with a rate constant of 2.3·10⁷ liters/mole·sec at room temperature.Translated from Teoreticheskaya in iÉksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 22, No. 1, pp. 39–44, January–February, 1986.
