Solid extractants cation extraction

Quite drastic conditions are required to desorb cationic surfactants from solids. Extraction with methanolic HCl resulted in optimum recovery. However, the extract has to be purified by extraction into chloroform in the presence of disulphine blue or LAS. Einally, cleavage of the ion pairs is done on ion exchangers. Hellmann used an AI2O3 column to purify sewage sludge extracts. In this way, he was not only able to separate impurities but also to elute cationic and anionic surfactants stepwise with different solvent systems. 

The mechanism of metal extraction by using solid extractants can be categorized as cation extraction and anion extraction. These extraction mechanisms are dependent... 

The pH dependency of extraction can be studied by conducting pH isotherm experiments. The pH isotherm provides useful information as it relates the extent of metal ion extraction with the solution pH for a given solution composition. This information can be employed to determine conditions to extract and strip metal ions from the solid extractant. Figure 7.15 shows a typical cation extraction pH isotherm Negligible metal uptake occurs at a lower pH, and high metal uptake occurs at a higher pH. Thus, one can extract cadmium ion effectively at a pH higher than 4 and strip... 

For the adsorption of cadmium ions by the solid extractant SOL-AD-IV synthesized by the technique described in Section 12.2.3, the reaction can be assumed to be a cationic exchange with the thiol proton. The general reversible reaction can be...

Supercritical fluid extraction with CO2 containing at least 10% methanol is effective for removing distearyldimethylammonium chloride from sediment and sewage sludge as an ion pair. Because anionic surfactants are already present in sludge, no anion need be added to insure ion pair formation. SEE is not more complete than conventional liquid-solid extraction with methanolic HCl, but is more rapid. There is some indication that less of materials other than cationic surfactants is extracted by SEE compared to conventional extraction (150,151). 

Later we will describe both oxidation and reduction processes that are in agreement with the electrochemically stimulated conformational relaxation (ESCR) model presented at the end of the chapter. In a neutral state, most of the conducting polymers are an amorphous cross-linked network (Fig. 3). The linear chains between cross-linking points have strong van der Waals intrachain and interchain interactions, giving a compact solid [Fig. 14(a)]. By oxidation of the neutral chains, electrons are extracted from the chains. At the polymer/solution interface, positive radical cations (polarons) accumulate along the polymeric chains. The same density of counter-ions accumulates on the solution side. 

A new class of solvents called ionic liquids has been developed to meet this need. A typical ionic liquid has a relatively small anion, such as BF4, and a relatively large, organic cation, such as l-butyl-3-methylimidazolium (16). Because the cation has a large nonpolar region and is often asymmetrical, the compound does not crystallize easily and so is liquid at room temperature. However, the attractions between the ions reduces the vapor pressure to about the same as that of an ionic solid, thereby reducing air pollution. Because different cations and anions can be used, solvents can be designed for specific uses. For example, one formulation can dissolve the rubber in old tires so that it can be recycled. Other solvents can be used to extract radioactive waste from groundwater. 

These studies show that the thiospinel structure is quite flexible with opportunity for cation vacancies at the 8 a site. Our investigation on such cation-deficient thiospinels is significant in that it shows that additional vacancies are possible in the 8 a site. Most of the cation-deficient compounds known earlier (predominantly copper compounds) were obtained by extraction of Cu by using various oxidizing reagents. These studies show that such cation-deficient quaternary thiospinels can also be obtained by direct solid-state reactions. 

Ultrafiltration of heterogenous colloidal suspensions such as citrus juice is complex and many factors other than molecular weight contribute to fouling and permeation. For example, low MW aroma compounds were unevenly distributed in the permeate and retentate in UF in 500 kd MWCO system (10). The authors observed that the 500 kd MWCO UF removed all suspended solids, including pectin and PE. If PE is complexed to pectate in an inactive complex, then it is conceivable that release of PE from pectin with cations will enhance permeation in UF. At optimum salt concentration, less PE activation was observed at lower pH values than at higher pH (15). In juice systems, it is difficult to separate the effect of juice particulates on PE activity. Model studies with PE extracts allows UF in the absence of large or insoluble particulates and control of composition of the ultrafilter. In... 

Separations based upon differences in the chemical properties of the components. Thus a mixture of toluene and aniline may be separated by extraction with dilute hydrochloric acid the aniline passes into the aqueous layer in the form of the salt, aniline hydrochloride, and may be recovered by neutralisation. Similarly, a mixture of phenol and toluene may be separated by treatment with dilute sodium hydroxide. The above examples are, of course, simple apphcations of the fact that the various components fall into different solubility groups (compare Section XI,5). Another example is the separation of a mixture of di-n-butyl ether and chlorobenzene concentrated sulphuric acid dissolves only the n-butyl other and it may be recovered from solution by dilution with water. With some classes of compounds, e.g., unsaturated com-poimds, concentrated sulphuric acid leads to polymerisation, sulphona-tion, etc., so that the original component cannot be recovered unchanged this solvent, therefore, possesses hmited apph cation. Phenols may be separated from acids (for example, o-cresol from benzoic acid) by a c ute solution of sodium bicarbonate the weakly acidic phenols (and also enols) are not converted into salts by this reagent and may be removed by ether extraction or by other means the acids pass into solution as the sodium salts and may be recovered after acidification. Aldehydes, e.g., benzaldehyde, may be separated from liquid hydrocarbons and other neutral, water-insoluble liquid compounds by shal g with a solution of sodium bisulphite the iddehyde forms a solid bisulphite compound, which may be filtered off and decomposed with dilute acid or with sodium bicarbonate solution in order to recover the aldehyde.

Several methods have been used to separate the lanthanides chemically solvent extraction, ion exchange chromatography, HPLC using Q-hydroxyisobutyric acid and, in limited cases, selective reduction of a particular metal cation.40-43 The use of di(2-ethylhexyl)orthophosphoric acid (HDEHP) for the separation of various rare-earth elements via solvent extraction has also been reported.44 16 This separation method is based on the strong tendency of Ln3+ ions to form complexes with various anions (i.e., Cl- or N03 ) and their wide range of affinities for com-plexation to dialkyl orthophosphoric acid. When the HDEHP is attached to a solid phase resin, the lanthanides can be selected with various concentrations of acid in order of size, with the smallest ion being the most highly retained. 

In contrast, solid lipid microparticles consisting of a tripalmitin matrix and cationic lipids prepared using the micromixer-based solvent extraction process as described by Emi et al. [50] were of monomodal size, showing a narrow size distribution in the submicrometer range (Table 8.1). 

Liquid ion-exchangers have been discussed in the section on solvent extraction (p. 65). They can be used in column form by coating them on to a solid support such as cellulose powder or Kel-F (polytrifluorochloroethylene). Tris-n-octylamine (TNOA) and bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (HDEHP) behave as strong-base and strong-acid exchangers for anions and cations respectively.
