E. Makrlik et al., Extraction of lithium with nitrobenzene solution of strontium bis-1,2-dicarbollylcobaltate in the presence of 15-crown-5, J RAD NUCL, 242(1), 1999, pp. 185-187
From extraction experiments and gamma-activity measurements, the extraction
constant corresponding to the equilibrium 2Li(+)(aq)+SrL22+(nb)reversible
arrow 2LiL(+)(nb)+Sr2+(aq) taking place in the two-phase water-nitrobenzene
system (L = 15-crown-5; aq = aqueous phase, nb = nitrobenzene phase) was e
valuated as log K-ex(2Li(+);SrL22+) = -3.7. Further, the stability constant
of the 15-crown-5 - lithium complex in nitrobenzene saturated with water w
as calculated: log beta(nh)(LiL+) = 7.0.
