Abstract
Iron, indium, cobalt and zinc may be completely and rapidly extracted in a single extraction with an equal volume of toluene-trifluoroacetylacetone (0.1 M) for Fe and In, and toluene-trifluoroacetylacetone (0.1 M)-isobutylamine (0.4 M) for Co and Zn. A 90% extraction or indium is obtained with an aqueous/organic volume ratio of 20, and a 88.5% extraction for iron with a volume ratio of 40. There is a deviation of the iron and indium extraction curves from seawater compared with the theoretical trivalent metal curves; this is attributed to the high concentration of halogen ions in seawater, which makes seawater a superior medium for solvent extraction.
