Jgh. Dupreez et al., SECONDARY EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUNCTIONING OF BULKY SUBSTITUTED AMMONIUM CATIONS - REVISED INTERPRETATIONS, Solvent extraction and ion exchange, 13(2), 1995, pp. 189-214
The behaviour of mono and diquaternary ammonium cations during extract
ion and precipitation of CoCl42- ions is used to clarify some aspects
of the secondary effects present during their operation. A quantitativ
e treatment of the ''HCl effect'' is offered. It is illustrated that t
his effect must be ascribed to a lowering of the activity of the catio
n rather than formation of undissociated acid species like H2CoCl4.
