Water-soluble oxa-diamide ligand, N,N,N′,N′-tetra-methyl-3-oxy-pentane-1,5-diamid (TMPDA) has been synthesized and purified. Its crystal structure, melting point, decomposition temperature, solubilities in aqueous phase and organic phase, distribution ratio between aqueous and organic phase, etc. are reported. The effect of TMPDA concentration in aqueous phase and HNO3 concentration in the equilibrium aqueous phase on the extraction efficiency of La(III), Ce(III), Pr(III), Nd(III), Zr(IV), Fe(III), Y(III), Mo(VI), Ru(III) and Pd(II) by 30% TRPO/kerosene have been studied. The results indicate that TMPDA dissolve well in aqueous phase but almost insoluble in kerosene or 30%TRPO/kerosene in the bi-phase system. It can effectively reduce the extraction of Ln(III), Y(III) and Zr(IV) into 30%TRPO/kerosene at a moderate acid system (0.24mol/L∼0.27mol/L HNO3). TMPDA is a promising stripping agent for Ln(III), Y(III) and Zr(IV) from loaded TRPO.

The extraction of uranium from aqueous model solutions, as well as from real solutions reulting from leaching uranium ores was carried out in the system equipped with the Liqui-Cel® Extra-Flow membrane contactor with polypropylene capillary membranes. D2EHPA in toluene was used as an organic phase. Different arrangements of flow inside the membrane module were tested. The better approach appeared to be the arrangement with aqueous phase in the shell side of the contactor and organic phase inside the capillary membrane. The extraction efficiency for model solutions reached 95% and 87% for real post-leaching liquors.

A study has been carried out on Ta and Nb recovery by liquid-liquid extraction process using 4-methylacetophenone (4-MAcPh) as organic phase. The 4-MAcPh was compared to methylisobutylketone (MIBK) with respect to extraction efficiencies (kD values) at different concentrations of H2SO4 in the aqueous phase. The results showed a similar extraction of Nb for both solvents. However, for Ta extraction efficiency is increased by a factor of 1.3 for 4-MAcPh. In addition, the MIBK solubilized completely after 6 mol L-1 of H2SO4 against only a loss of 0.14 to 4% for 4-MAcPh between 6 and 9 mol L-1 of H2SO4. The potential of 4-MAcPh has also been studied to selectively recover Ta from a model capacitor waste solution. The results showed a selectivity for Ta in the presence of impurities such as Fe, Ni, Mn. The 4-MAcPh also presents the advantage of having physicochemical properties adapted to its use in liquid-liquid extraction technologies such as mixer-settlers.

The third phase formed in the process of extracting vanadium in a N235/HCl system was usually regarded as a limit to the throughput of the plant. To have a deep insight on this problem, the formation of the third phase in the extraction of vanadium by tertiary amine N235 in the concentrated HCl system was studied. The optimum parameters of three-phase system extraction were determined, and FTIR analysis was carried out to characterize the structure of extracted complexes and analyze the mechanism of formation and elimination of the third phase. The results showed that vanadium extraction efficiency was 86.5% with 20% v/v N235 and a phase ratio (O:A) of 1:2 in 2 min at 25 °C, though an obvious third phase was found within the experimental HCl concentration range. Cl− is the participant in the process of increasing the vanadium extraction efficiency, whereas H+ has an inhibitory effect on vanadium extraction. Meanwhile, the structure of the extracted complex was confirmed as (R3N)m(HCl)m+x·([Formula: see text])·(H2O)n through a solvation mechanism with molecular association, which was further proved by FTIR spectral analysis. Furthermore, the limited solubility of the ion-extracted complexes in the nonpolar solvent kerosene made the third-phase form. The third phase disappeared when phase modifier (about 5% v/v TBP) was added into the organic phase, as the polarity of the organic phase increased.

AbstractA new emulsion process has been developed for the direct synthesis of the emeraldine salt of polyaniline (PANI) that is soluble in organic solvents. The process entails forming an emulsion composed of water, a water soluble organic solvent (e.g., 2-butoxyethanol), a water insoluble organic acid (e.g., dinonylnaphthalene sulfonic acid) and aniline. Aniline is protonated by the organic acid to form a salt which partitions into the organic phase. As oxidant (ammonium peroxydisulfate) is added, PANI salt forms in the organic phase and remains soluble. As the reaction proceeds, the reaction mixture changes from an emulsion to a two phase system, the soluble PANI remaining in the organic phase. With dinonylnaphthalene sulfonic acid (DNNSA) as the organic acid, the resulting product is truly soluble in organic solvents such as xylene and toluene(not a dispersion), of high molecular weight (Mw >22,000), film forming and miscible with many polymers such as polyurethanes, epoxies and phenoxy resins. As cast, the polyaniline film is only moderately conductive, (10−5 S/cm), however treatment of the film with surfactants such as benzyltriethylammonium chloride (BTEAC) or low molecular weight alcohols and ketones such as methanol and acetone increases the conductivity 2–3 orders of magnitude.

Two imidazol(in)ium-dithiocarboxylates have been investigated as sensors for the detection of mercury ions and silver ions. They could be applied as colorimetric chemosensors for the detection of Hg2+ and Ag+. Furthermore, an additional sensory input was found by a colorimetric change of a two-phase system from the organic phase into the aqueous phase. Due to different colors at different ratios of the betaines and Hg2+ it is possible to estimate the concentration of Hg2+ with the ”naked eye”.

Extraction of hafnium(IV) was studied from solutions of mixtures of perchloric and nitric acids and of perchloric and hydrochloric acids for constant ionic strength, I = 2, 4, 6, or 8, and for cHf 4 . 10-4 mol l-1. The organic phase was constituted by solutions of some acidic or neutral organophosphorus reagents or of 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone, 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazolone, or N-benzoyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine in benzene, chloroform, or n-octane. A pronounced synergic extraction of hafnium proceeds only on applying organophosphorus reagents from an aqueous phase whose acidity is not lower than 3M-(HClO4 + HNO3) or 5M-(HClO4 + HCl). The synergic effect was not affected markedly by a variation of the initial concentration of hafnium in the range 1 . 10-8 -4 .10-4 mol l-1, it lowered with increasing initial concentration of the organophosphorus reagent and decreasing concentration of the H+ ions. It is suggested that the hafnium passes into the organic phase in the form of mixed complexes, the salting-out effect of perchloric acid playing an appreciable part.

Abstract Background Cashew nut shell is a by-product of cashew (Anacardium occidentale) production, which is abundant in many developing countries. Cashew nut shell liquor (CNSL) contains a functional chemical, cardanol, which can be converted into a hydroxyoxime. The hydroxyoximes are expensive reagents for metal extraction. Methods CNSL-based oxime was synthesized and used to extract Ni, Co, and Mn from aqueous solutions. The extraction potential was compared against a commercial extractant (LIX 860N). Results All metals were successfully extracted with pH0.5 between 4 and 6. The loaded organic phase was subsequently stripped with an acidic solution. The extraction efficiency and pH0.5 of the CNSL-based extractant were similar to a commercial phenol-oxime extractant. The metals were stripped from the loaded organic phase with a recovery rate of 95% at a pH of 1. Conclusions Cashew-based cardanol can be used to economically produce an oxime in a simple process. The naturally-based oxime has the economic potential to sustainably recover valuable metals from spent lithium-ion batteries. Graphic abstract

AbstractSynthesis, crystal structure and temperature-dependent behavior of Na2H4Ga2GeO8 are reported. This novel gallogermanate crystallizes in space group I41/acd with room-temperature powder diffraction lattice parameters of a = 1298.05(1) pm and c = 870.66(1) pm. The structure consists of MO4 (M = Ga, Ge) tetrahedra in four-ring chains, which are connected by two different (left- and right-handed) helical chains of NaO6 octahedra. Protons coordinating the oxygen atoms of the GaO4 tetrahedra not linked to germanium atoms ensure the charge balance. Structure solution and refinement are based on single crystal X-ray diffraction measurements. Proton positions are estimated using a combined approach of DFT calculations and NMR, FTIR and Raman spectroscopic techniques. The thermal expansion was examined in the range between T = 20(2) K and the compound’s decomposition temperature at 568(5) K, in which no phase transition could be observed, and Debye temperatures of 266(11) and 1566(65) K were determined for the volume expansion.
