The extraction of Pd(II) from HCl solutions by impregnated resins containing di(2-ethylhexyl) thiophosphoric acid (DEHTPA or HL) on the Amberlite XAD2 polymeric support has been studied. Graphical and computer analysis with the program LETAGROP-DISTR demonstrated that the Pd(II) extraction can be explained by the formation of metal complexes in the resin phase having the composition PdL{sub 2}(HL){sub 2}. DEHTPA/XAD2 resins extracted Pd(II) in the presence of other metals: Pt(IV), Rh(III), Cu(II), Fe(III) as well as Zn(II). The stripping of Pd(II) loaded on the organic phase and the lifetime of the resins were also investigated.
