Abstract
Recently, cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME) has found use as a commercially available solvent for various applications. As CPME shows better properties such as more hydrophobicity, less solublity in water, less volatility, and more stablity compared with typical ethereal solvents, it could be used as a diluent or an extractant in liquid-liquid extraction systems. In the present study, CPME was found to be useful for the extraction of Au(III) in hydrochloric acid media. Extraction of Au(III) increased with as increase in the hydrochloric acid concentration. Au(III) was selectively extracted using CPME from other precious metal ions and base metal ions. From the result of the dependency of the Au(III) concentration, CPME can load at least 0.93 g/dm3 Au(III). Extracted Au(III) was quantitatively stripped from CPME using 0.1 M aqueous thiourea solution. As the solubility of water into CPME is much smaller than that into alcohols such as 1-hexanol, CPME is more favorable as an extractant for Au(III) in hydrochloric acid media.
期刊介绍:
Solvent Extraction Research and Development, Japan (Solvent Extr. Res. Dev., Jpn.) is a periodical issued from Japan Association of Solvent Extraction (JASE) containing papers dealing with all aspects of solvent extraction and their related methods, underlying principles, and materials. Original articles, notes, technical reports, and critical reviews will be considered for publication. Original articles must be of reasonably broad scope and significance to the solvent extraction. Notes will originally describe novel work of a limited nature or especially significant work in progress. Authors can contribute some information of novel techniques, equipment or apparatus, reagents and diluents for solvent extraction as technical reports. Critical reviews will be received from the authors to whom the editorial committee asked to contribute.
