Abstract
Solvent extraction chemistry of metals needs the use of suitable organic ligands like 4-acylpyrazolones to coordinate the studied cation, to make it soluble in an organic phase and then allow its phase transfer from the aqueous phase. The competitive solvent extraction test of almost 25 metal ions by one powerful ligand, i.e. 3-methyl-1-phenyl-4-(4-trifluoromethylbenzoyl)-pyrazol-5-one diluted in one ionic liquid ([C1Cnim+][Tf2N−]) has been conducted to get a snapshot of its efficacy. Effect of diluents on the liquid–liquid extraction of 4f-ions with a series of chelating ligands of 4-acylpyrazolones family (∼5) is presented comparing ionic liquids and typical organic diluents: 14 in number. In addition, the solvent extraction of 12 refractory metals with a series of chelating extractants is investigated in five diluents: four 4-acylpyrazolones with different radicals. The solvent extraction stoichiometry of MoO42− and Zr4+ is studied in detail using molecular and ionic diluent for comparative purposes through slope analysis method. Ethylene glycol is used to develop a non-aqueous process for Gd3+ switchable extraction, i.e. boost of two immiscible organic phases. Furthermore, EPR, NMR, IR and DTA-TG-MS spectroscopies have been used to study the extracted d- and f-species in the obtained organic extracts in ionic liquid solutions.
