Ti. Zhidkova et al., Palladium extraction by salts of bis-quaternary ammonium bases and organicacids from chloride solutions, RUSS J IN C, 46(7), 2001, pp. 1098-1101
Palladium extraction from chloride solutions over a wide range of aqueous a
cidities by di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate and di(2-ethylhexyl)dithiophosphate o
f bis-quaternary ammonium bases (bis-QABs) was studied. Spectroscopic studi
es showed that palladium extraction by bis-QAB dialkylphosphate has a binar
y mechanism and that extraction by bis-QAB dialkyldithiophosphate yields in
ixed-ligand complexes or PdA(2) in the organic phase depending on the initi
al concentration ratio of the extractant to palladium.
