Js. Gaudh et Vm. Shinde, ANALYTICAL SEPARATION OF TITANIUM(IV), ZIRCONIUM(IV) AND HAFNIUM(IV) USING TRIS(2-ETHYLHEXYL)PHOSPHATE AS AN EXTRACTANT, Analytical letters, 28(6), 1995, pp. 1107-1125
Tris(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate is proposed as an extractant for zirconium
(IV) and hafnium(IV). The extraction conditions are established and re
ported. Log D - log C plots are used to ascertain probable extractable
species. The method is used for selective separation of IVB group ele
ments such as titanium (IV), zirconium (IV) and hafnium (IV). The meth
od is applicable to the analysis of standard alloy samples and the res
ults are reproducible and accurate.
