Abstract
- Abstract: Extraction constants (K ex±) for complex ions (ML z+) of L=15-crown-5 ether (15C5), benzo-15C5, 18-crown-6 ether (18C6), benzo-18C6, dibenzo-18C6, or dibenzo-24-crown-8 ether (DB24C8) with A− =picrate ion (Pic−) into nitrobenzene (NB) were evaluated at z =1 and 2. Here, the following thermodynamic relation was used for their evaluation: K ex± =[ML z+]NB([A−]NB) z /([M z+][L]NB[A−] z )= K D,M(K D,A) z β 1 NB; K D, j and β 1 NB denote an individual distribution constant of species j (=M z+, A−) into the NB phases and a stability constant for ML z+ in the phases. Using these results and the number of water (w) molecules co-extracted with M+, L, and ML+ into the NB phases, an effect of the w molecules released with the ML+ formation in the NB phases on K ex± was discussed. The above results were also applied for the prediction of an actual separation of Ba2+ from Sr2+ or Ca2+, using DB24C8 or 18C6 as L, Pic− as A−, and NB as diluent. Then, it was predicted that DB24C8 is more effective as L for the separation of Ba2+ from Ca2+ than 18C6. No effective L for the separation of Cs+ from Na+ was found out, using A− =I− and NB as the diluent. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
