Extraction of nickel and cobalt with 2-ethylhexyl-phosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester.

抄録

Extraction equilibrium formulations were established for the distribution of nickel, cobalt and sodium between n-heptane and xylene containing 2-ethylhexylphosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester ((LH)2) and 5 × 102 mol/m3 (Na, H)NO3. The composition of the organic phase species is NiL22(LH)2, CoL2(LH)2 and NaL(3/2)(LH)2, over a range of loading ratio, [M]1/[(LH)2]feed, less than 0.08 for cobalt and 0.008 for nickel. The ratio of the extraction constant for the commonly used di-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid to that using the present reagent is of the order of 10 for cobalt, copper and sodium, but increases to the order of 100 for nickel.<br> With increase in loading ratio, successively larger aggregated species such as (NiL2(LH)2)n(LH)2 and (CoL2)n(LH)2 (n=l, 2, 3, ...) appear. Identification of these species has been established on the assumption that the extraction constants are independent of the number of metal atoms, n, in the species.
