Abstract

A simplified theory for the solvent extraction of metal chelates is presented. Factors which are taken into account include the metal ion, the chelating reagent, aqueous complexing agents, adduct-forming substances, the organic solvent, temperature, rates of extraction, and other effects. Equations are developed for estimating the stoichiometries and the association constants of the involved species.
