Jgh. Dupreez et al., NITROGEN REAGENTS IN METAL-ION SEPARATION .6. 2-(1'-OCTYLTHIOMETHYL)PYRIDINE AS EXTRACTANT FOR LATER 3D TRANSITION-METAL IONS, Solvent extraction and ion exchange, 15(1), 1997, pp. 79-96
The new extractant 2-(1'-octylthiomethyl)pyridine was synthesized and
applied in dilute acid medium in the presence of chloride and thiocyan
ate ions, for the separation of later 3d transition metal ions. Good C
u(II) specificity was revealed in dilute chloride medium as well as ve
ry promising nickel(II) preference to iron(III). The extractant behavi
our of the ligand was explained in terms of its coordination behaviour
.
