EXTRACTION OF Ca(II), AND Ba(II) BY ACIDIC ESTERS OF PHOSPHORUS OXY ACIDS

Journal Article · · J. Inorg. & Nuclear Chem.

The extraction of Ca(III), Sr(II), and Ba(II) from aqueous mineral acid, in the presence and absence of the corresponding sodium salt, into xylene solutions of (GO)/sub 2/PO(OH), G = 2-ethyl hexyl and para (1, 1,3,3 tetramethyl butyl) phenyl, and of (GO)G'PO(OH), G = n-octyl and G' = phenyl and chloro methyl, was investigated radiometrically. The distribution ratio, K, was found to be inversely secondpower dependent upon the hydrogen ion concentration in the equilibrated aqueous phase. The dependency of K upon the concentration of extractant in the equilibrated xylene phase was found to be 2.5-power for Ca and Sr and 3.0-power for Ba in systems involving bis STApara (1,1,3,3 tetramethyl butyl) phenyl! phosphoric acid or n-octyl hydrogen chloromethyl phosphonate; 3.0- power for Ca, Sr, and Ba in systems involving n-octyl hydrogen phenyl phosphonate; and 3.0-power for Ca (Sr and Ba not proved) in systems involving bis(2ethyl hexyl) phosphoric acid. The effect of structural differences in the extractants is discussed, and the extraction of alkaline earths (III) is compared with that of Pm(III) and Cm(IIII). (auth)
