Abstract

The preconcentration and separation of copper, cadmium, cobalt and nickel 8-quinolinolates in solutions of high salinity including synthetic sea water is studied with phenolphthalein or 2-naphthol as collector and octadecylamine as surfactant. A simplex optimization is applied. Yields > 90% are achieved for Ni, Co and Cd with both collectors, but the copper yield is low. Flame atomic absorption spectrometry is used for the final measurements.
