Abstract
In the present investigation, systematic study of synergistic effects of phosphine oxides and tributyl phosphate on the extraction of Ag (I) from aqueous nitrate medium with N-(thioacetyl) bezamide into n-butanol is being reported. The ligand was synthesized and cha racter ized in our laborator y. Temperature dependence of extraction equilibrium have been studied in order to evaluate the thermodynamic parameters responsible for the extraction. Finally, IR data were used to support the extraction mechanism. 2. Experimental 2.1. Reagents and instrument. The chelating ligand (Nthio acetyl) benzamide was synthesised by the reaction of thioacetamide and benzoylchloride, derived form benzoic acid, which were obtained from Aldrich, USA. The donor reagents used in this work e.g tri-butyl phosphine oxide (TBPO), triphenyl phosphine oxide (TPPO), tri-butyl phosphate (TBP), were also collected from Aldrich; USA. The solvents were purified by standard procedures. All other reagents used were of A.R. grade. A stock solution of silver was prepared by dissolving A.R. AgNO3 in deionized water and a working stock was prepared by appropriate dilution. In order to spike the solution, an appropriate volume of stock solution of Ag(I) was mixed, with few drops of tracer solution containing, 110m Ag as
