Abstract: | The extraction of zincoxinate into 10 different organic solvents was investigated. By studying the dependence of the distribution upon pH, reagent concentration, and solvent concentration (in an inert medium), the species were identified and the extraction constants estimated. Correlations between the species type and the efficiency of extraction are postulated. The species extracting into 4-methyl-2-pentanone, I-butanol, and 4-methyl-2-pentanol is ZnR2S2, that extracting into benzene and chloroform is ZnR2(HR)S, that extracting into butyl and pentyl ethers is ZnR2S, that extracting into carbon tetrachloride is ZnR2(HR), and that extracting into hexane and cyclohexane is ZnR2(H2O)2. In these formulas, R is the oxinate ion, HR is oxine, and S is the organic solvent. It is suggested that the extraction behavior can be explained by assuming a water molecule to be attached to the ZnR2S and ZnR2(HR) species. |
