BEHAVIOR OF DIALKYL PHOSPHORODITHIOIC ACIDS IN LIQUID EXTRACTION SYSTEMS

Technical Report · · Analytical Chemistry (U.S.) Formerly Ind. Eng. Chem., Anal. Ed.
OSTI ID:4714841
The solubility and acidity of the diethyl, diisopropyl, di-n-butyl, and diisobutyl esters of phosphorodithioic acid in water and the distribution of each between CCl/sub 4/, methyl isobutyl ketone, or n-amyl acetate and HCl-NaCl solutions were studied. From the data, the acid dissociation constants and the partition coefficients were calculated. No evidence was found for dimerization of dialkyl phosphorodithoic acids in the organic phase. These constants are discussed, together with data for the dialkyl phosphates. The acid dissociation constant is somewhat larger and the partition coefficient is much larger when comparing di-n-butyl phosphorodithioic acid with di-nbutyl phosphate. (auth)
