Abstract

A study of the distribution of gallium(III) between hydrochloric acid solutions and 0.1M 4-(5-nonyl)-pyridine in benzene has been undertaken. Gallium can be quantitatively extracted from moderate to concentrated acid solutions and also from dilute acid solutions containing high concentrations of neutral cations of high charge density. The effects of acidity, the solvent concentration and diverse ions on the extraction have been investigated. An attempt has been made to elucidate the stoichiometry of the extracted species. The formulation of (NPy H)+ GaCl 4 − ) and (NPy−H−NPy)+ GaCl 4 − is expected at macro and trace concentrations of the metal. The extraction coefficients of several elements have been recorded under conditions optional for the extraction of gallium; and their factors for separations are estimated.
