C. Fontas et al., Solvent extraction of Pt(IV) by Aliquat 336 and its application to a solidsupported liquid membrane system, SOLVENT EXT, 17(1), 1999, pp. 149-162
The extraction of Pt(IV) by Aliquat 336 (R3R'N+Cl-) in dodecane modified wi
th 4% dodecanol from hydrochloric acid solutions has been investigated. The
analysis of metal distribution data by numerical calculations suggested th
e formation of the species (R3R'N+)(2)PtCl62- in the organic phase with for
mation constant log beta= 5.26+/-0.02. The results obtained on Pt(IV) distr
ibution have been implemented in a solid supported liquid membrane system,
being NaClO4 solutions the most effective to strip the metal from the organ
ic solution. Influence of membrane composition and metal concentration on p
latinum transport have also been studied.
