Solvent extraction of zinc/II/ with sulphoxides: Theoretical analysis of extraction behaviour

This paper describes a theoretical method for analyzing the behaviour of⁶⁵Zn during solvent extraction from ammonium thiocyanate solutions with dialkyl sulphoxides. The mechanism of extraction of Zn/II/ from thiocyanate medium by sulphoxides may be represented by the following general equation: $$xM_{aq}^{m + } + ySCN_{aq}^ - + zS_{org} \rightleftharpoons [M_x /SCN/_y ]^{mx - y} .zS_{org} $$ where M^m+ is the metal ion and S is the extractant. Expressions for the distribution coefficients were derived taking into account complexation of the metal in the aqueous phase by inorganic ligands and also the dissociation of the extracted ion-pairs in the organic phase. Using these expressions, the values of the extraction constants were determined by a least-squares fit with the experimental extraction data. From these extraction constants, the various species extracted into the organic phase were resolved. The influence of the metal concentration, temperature and the diluent on the extraction of Zn/II/ has been investigated.

Metal extraction in activation analysis

Our investigations have shown the perspectives of pyrometallurgical methods in activation analysis based on metal extraction (ME). The technique of rapid micromelting (MM) not requiring special equipment has been developed. It has been shown that in non-mixed liquid metal-molten salt systems different elements such as noble, rare and dispersed ones can be quantitatively extracted from geological samples to be analyzed into metal collectors (bismuth, lead, tin, copper, iron, etc.). The same meltings have been supposed for extraction into the ionic salt melts of the impurity elements from the analyzed metals.     

Solvent extraction of manganese with thenoyltrifluoracetone

The formula of the manganese-TTA complex extracted with xylene from 0.5M sulphuric acid solution containing sodium bromate is MnT(3) where HT is the enol form of thenoyltrifluoracetone, TTA. The formula of the manganese-TTA complex extracted from slightly acid solution (pH 4-5) with acetone-benzene mixture is MnT(2).

Solvent extraction of gold with N-substituted benzoylthioureas

Summary Benzoylthioureas are excellent reagents for the solvent extraction of gold. Very effective separations of gold from platinum group metals and base metals are possible due to control of the extraction parameters.

Liquid liquid extraction of ⁴⁶Sc was studied with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazolone (PMBP). It has been found that PMBP extracts almost quantitatively scandium from 10^-3 to 10^-2M HCl solutions. Tributyl phosphate (TBP) has a pronounced antagonistic effect on the extraction process.     

Distribution behavior of astatine: Solvent extraction and back extraction

The distribution behavior of astatine was studied at tracer concentrations and over a wide range of carrier iodide concentration in both solvent extraction and back extraction processes. Astatine compounds were extracted instantly into the organic solvent, CS₂ from the carrier free and carrier iodide containing solutions. Back extraction of astatine with various NaOH solutions followed by solvent extraction caused the hydrolysis of astatine. The distribution behavior of astatine was explained by the extraction reaction schemes.     

Dissolving capability difference based sequential extraction: A versatile tool for in-depth membrane proteome analysis

Profiling membrane proteins would facilitate revealing disease mechanism and discovering new drug targets as they play essential roles in cellular signaling, substrate transport, and cell adhesion. However, the analysis of membrane proteins still remains a challenge due to their high hydrophobicity, as well as the suppression effect of high abundant soluble proteins. In this work, to achieve a membrane proteome profiling, a sample preparation strategy based on sequential extraction at the protein level assisted by a range of extraction reagents with different dissolving capabilities, followed by nano-RPLC-ESI-MS/MS analysis was developed and applied for HeLa cell line analysis. It was found that with progressively harsher extraction reagents (i.e., 2 M NaCl, 4 M urea, 0.1 M Na₂CO₃, and 10% 1-dodecyl-3- methyl-imidazolium chloride (C12ImCl) performed, much more high hydrophobic proteins and low abundant proteins were identified. With our developed strategy, 5553 of the identified proteins (4419 gene products) were annotated to be membrane proteins and 2573 proteins (2183 gene products) have at least one transmembrane domain, to our best knowledge, which is the most comprehensive membrane proteome dataset for HeLa cell line. Notably, 110 of the identified membrane proteins were discovered in the “missing proteins” list referred to those in the neXtProt database. All above results indicated that our strategy has great potential to tackle the difficult but relevant task of identifying and profiling membrane proteins.     

Substoichiometric separation in activation analysis: extraction of co-ordinatively-unsolvated salts

The necessary conditions have been examined for the use of extraction of coordinatively-unsolvated salts for substoichiometric separations in activation analysis, especially the influence of interfering ions and of the concentration of the carrier. A study has been made of the substoichiometric extraction of halide ions, oxyanions and anionic metal complexes by means of the tetraphenylarsonium ion into chloroform and dichloroethane, and of the extraction of alkali metal ions into nitrobenzene with tetraphenylborate. Substoichiometric extraction can be combined with neutron-activation analysis for the determination of traces of iodine, caesium, rubidium, manganese, rhenium, chromium, thallium, gold, gallium and tantalum.     

Solvent extraction mechanism of pertechnetate with tetraphenylarsonium chloride

A systematic study of extraction of pertechnetate with tetraphenylarsonium chloride (TPAC) in chloroform from aqueous chloride solutions has been carried out at 25°C at ionic strength of 1.0. Fundamental parameters governing the distribution equilibrium of TPAC were determined. Extraction behavior of pertechnetate was established on the basis of the distribution mechanism of TPAC.     

Solvent extraction of technetium in urine with TBP

The solvent extraction of technetium from urine with TBP has been investigated. The distribution ratio of technetium was determined as a function of HCl concentration and reaction time. The distribution ratio in the HCl-TBP system containing urine is consistently lower than that without urine. The chemical forms of technetium in urine, analyzed by paper chromatography, indicated that pertechnetate was reduced in the presence of HCl and that the reduction of pertechnetate was enhanced by urine. The observed decrease in the distribution ratio was attributed to the enhanced reduction of pertechnetate by urine.

Cu(II) and Fe(III) were completely extracted from acidic solution, Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Pb(II), and Zr(IV) were also extracted from intermediate pH region, a part of Cr(III) was extracted, but Y(III) was not extracted.     

Solvent extraction of Cd(II) with isonitrosothiocamphor

The extraction coefficient of cadmium into 1,2-dichlorobenzene using isonitrosothiocamphor (HINTC) as a chelating agent at pH 8.5 is greater than 4585. It remains constant in the pH range of 7 to 10. The nature of the extracted species is ML₂ as derived by the slope ratio method. A careful analysis of the effect of different groups on the extraction coefficient and separation factors of a number of ions against Cd(II) has been carried out. The separation factors for most of the elements is characteristically high.     

Solvent extraction of metals with macrocyclic compounds. I

Summary The extractants studied in this work are 5,6; 14,15-dibenzo-l,4-dioxa-8,12-diazacyclopentadeca-7,12-diene (I) and 5,6; 14,15-dibenzo-1,4-dioxa-8,12-diazacyclopentadecane (II). Radioactive nuclides were used to investigate the extraction of Ag(I), Hg(II), Cu(II), Cd, Co(II), Zn, Fe(III), Mn(II), and Pd with chloroform solutions of I and II. It is shown that compound I extracts only silver. The composition of the extracted compound has been established: silver is extracted as an AgLX complexe (L being macrocycle I and X being the counterion). The counterions involved in the experiment were perchlorate, picrate (Pi), and dipicrylaminate (DPA); the extraction of silver is intensified in the series: ClO₄ ^–––. The solvents used include nitrobenzene, 1,2-dichloroethane, chloroform, ando-xylene, the best being nitrobenzene and dichloroethane. Macrocycle II was found to exhibit poorer selectivity; in addition to Ag(I), it also extracts Hg(II), Cu(II) and Pd. The lower selectivity of macrocycle II, as compared to that of I, must be due to the graeter comformational mobility of molecule II.
