Abstract:
The extraction of nickel from aqueous media (0.1M NaClO4) with 3-(2-furyl)-2-mercaptopropenoic acid (FMPA) in dichloroethane at 25° has been studied. The extraction is efficient only if a suitable counter-ion is present to form an ion-associate with the Ni—FMPA complex. The diphenylguanidinium ion has been found suitable as the counter-ion.
