Jgh. Du Preez et al., Nitrogen reagents in metal ion Separation. X. The separation of palladium from platinum in hydrochloric acid solution by pyrazole derivatives., SOLVENT EXT, 17(2), 1999, pp. 317-332
The separation of palladium from platinum from aqueous hydrochloric acid so
lutions using pyrazole derivatives as extractants is described. The role of
sigma donicity of the extractants, their stereochemistry and their behavio
ur in repetitive cycles are illustrated. Their Pd specificity in relation t
o Cu(II) and Fe(III) which are also present in the industrial feed solution
is also indicated.
