Abstract
A detailed investigation of the conditions for formation and extraction of the thiocyanate complex of osmium by polyether-type polyurethane foam is reported. The complex which formed in solution was extracted through the “cation-chelation” mechanism and distribution coefficients of more than 10 4 were obtained. By using conditions which inhibit the formation of the osmium-thiocyanate complex, it was possible to leave 95% of osmium in the aqueous phase while extracting more than 95% of ruthenium into polyurethane foam.
