Av. Sherikar et al., SOLVENT-EXTRACTION AND SEPARATION STUDIES OF OSMIUM(VIII) WITH BIS-2 ETHYLHEXYL PHOSPHORIC-ACID, INDIAN JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY, 4(1), 1997, pp. 59-60
A new method is proposed for the extraction of Os(VIII) from its acidi
c solution with 0.01M Bis-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (HDEHP). The me
tal ion from the loaded organic phase is stripped with mixture of thio
urea and HCl and then determined by the thiourea method. The method is
simple and can be used for the selective extraction and separation of
osmium from other metal ions.
