Ng. Bhilare et al., TRIPHENYLARSINE OXIDE AS AN EXTRACTANT FOR TITANIUM(IV), ZIRCONIUM(IV) AND HAFNIUM(IV), Analytical letters, 30(1), 1997, pp. 173-185
A systematic study on the solvent extraction behaviour of quadrivalent
titanium, zirconium and hafnium from salicylate media using triphenyl
arsine oxide as an extractant has been undertaken and reported in this
manuscript. The optimum extraction conditions are evaluated from crit
ical study of various experimental parameters. The probable compositio
n of the extracted species is ascertained from logD-logC plots. The me
thod is rapid, accurate and highly reproducible.
