S. Igarashi et al., A NOVEL HOMOGENEOUS LIQUID-LIQUID-EXTRACTION BASED ON 3-PHASE FORMATION WITH PERFLUOROSURFACTANT AND AMINE COMPOUNDS, Chemistry Letters, (7), 1994, pp. 1189-1190
A new type of three-phase separation phenomenon was found by the charg
e neutralization of perfluorooctanate ion {PFOA-, CF3(CF2)(6)-COO-} wi
th amylammonium ion (R-N+H3). For example, a three-phase system was fo
rmed at pH=6.8 and [PFOA](T)/[amine](T)=0.5. The partition behaviors o
f solutes such as water-soluble porphyrin and compounds in vivo into e
ach liquid phase were examined.
