Solvent extraction studies using high-molecular-weight amines

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6232453
This research project is concerned with systematically investigating high-molecular-weight amines and high-molecular-weight quaternary ammonium salts to ascertain the feasibility of their utilization for the extraction of group II B and transition metal ions from aqueous solutions. Methods which have promise of being scaled up for utilization by industries for the economical removal of toxic metal such as mercury, cadmium and nickel from their effluent waste water are being investigated. During this contract period, the following two research projects were completed: solvent extraction of mercury using alamine 304; and ion flotation of nickel using ethylhexadecyldimethylammonium bromide.
