Extraction of Metals in a Water‒Potassium Bis(Alkylpolyoxyethylene)Phosphate‒Ammonium Sulfate System with Various Photometric Reagents

详细

The interfacial distribution of a number of organic photometric reagents in a water‒potassium bis(alkylpolyoxyethylene)phosphate (oxyphos B)‒ammonium sulphate splitting system is studied. It is found that alizarin complexone, 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol-2 (PAN), bromothymol blue, rhodamine 6G, pyrogallol red, morin, fuchsine, malachite green, bromothymol blue, pyrocatechol violet (PCV), chromazurol S, and aluminon are extracted with partition coefficients higher than 100. A possibility of the extraction‒photometric determination of gallium with PCV and cobalt with PAN is shown. The proposed procedures do not require the use of fire-hazardous, volatile, and toxic organic solvents.
