Selective metal-ion extraction for multiple metal-ion liquid-liquid exchange reactions. Progress report, February 1, 1982-January 31, 1983

OSTI ID:6432335

Thermodynamic chemical equilibria models and chemical kinetics for the system copper-iron-acid sulfate solutions extracted by ..beta..-alkenyl-8-hydroxy quinoline in xylene are studied. Equilibrium extraction data were obtained for the iron-acid-sulfate ..beta..-alkenyl-8-hydroxy quinoline-xylene system. A preliminary model which includes the aqueous phase equilibria is being tested to model the data. Kinetic experiments have been completed on the above system for the forward reaction with the liquid jet recycle reactor. It has been determined that the iron-chelation complex is FeR/sub 3/ by the method of continuous variation. Kinetic models based on various mechanisms are being tested to describe the data. A one-liter two phase flow reactor system has been developed for the study of extraction efficiencies.
