Solvent extraction of metals with 4-dinitrobenzoyl-2,4-dihydro-5-methyl-2-phenyl-3h-pyrazol-3-one (DMPP)

Journal Article · · Solvent Extr. Ion Exch.; (United States)

The mechanism of the extraction of copper(II), nickel(II), cobalt(II) and thorium(IV) from aqueous buffer media with 4-dinitrobenzoyl1-2,4-dihydro-5-methy1-3H-pyrazol-3-one (DMPP) in benzene has been investigated. The values of log K where K refers to the extraction equilibrium Mn/sup +/ + nHL in equilibrium MLn + nH/sup +/ are Cu(II)(+0.3), Co(II)(-6.65), Ni(II)(-5.04) and Th(IV)(+6.1). Solid complexes synthesized have the composition CuL/sub 2/ x 2H/sub 2/O and ThL/sub 4/ respectively (L=anion of the ligand). DMPP seems to be superior to the corresponding 4-benzoyl and 4-nitrobenzoyl derivatives of 2,4-dihydro-5-methyl-2-phenyl1-3H-pyrazol-3-one (MPP) and also better than thenoyltrifluoroacetone, the popularly employed fluorinated ..beta..-diketone in the systems investigated. 2 figures.
