Abstract
Abstract Using a recycle foam separation apparatus, the foam fractionation distribution factor, γ/C, of the anionic metal nitro complexes of mercury(II) with the cationic surfactant, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, was determined. The distribution factor was measured as a function of nitric acid concentration. The maximum occurred at 0.1 N nitric acid, which is in agreement with the anionic ion-exchange column distribution coefficient. Total reflux foam fractionation experiments yielded a 150-fold increase in the enrichment factor with a 20% recovery of the mercury(II) ion.
