W. Mickler et E. Uhlemann, LIQUID-LIQUID-EXTRACTION OF COPPER FROM AMMONIACAL SOLUTION WITH 4-ACYLPYRAZOL-5-ONES, Separation science and technology, 28(10), 1993, pp. 1913-1921
The extraction of copper from ammoniacal solution with different 4-acy
lpyrazol-5-ones was studied. Depending on the nature of aliphatic acyl
groups, the influence of pH and of the concentrations of ammonia and
copper were evaluated. The extraction parameters are given and compare
d with those of the commercially available extractant LIX 54. The best
results were obtained for -phenyl-3-methyl-4(2-ethylhexanoyl)-pyrazol
-5-one.
