Abstract: | The liquid-liquid extraction of Au(I) by Amberlite LA2 (secondary amine) in kerosene from cyanide media has been investigated.
The analysis of metal distribution data suggested the formation of R2NH2
+Au(CN)2-species in the organic phase with formation constant log Kext=6.5 ± 0.03, whereas the use of mixtures of the amine with a solvation extractant (e.g. a phosphine oxide) shifted the gold-pH1/2 extraction towards more alkaline values. The results obtained on Au(I) distribution have been implemented in a polymerimmobilized
liquid membrane system, using NaOH solutions (e.g. 0.01 mol/L) to strip the metal from the organic phase. |
