Abstract

Conditions for the extraction of the thiocyanate complex of palladium by polyether-type polyurethane foam are reported. Distribution ratios of more than 10 6 with a capacity of about 0.8 mole per kg of foam were obtained. The palladium could be rapidly recovered from the foam with high efficiency by use of ammonia solution. The efficiency of palladium extraction depends on how well the cation associated with the complex fits into the polyether segment of the polyurethane foam.
