Abstract
AbstractThis work reports the study of the chemical equilibrium of the extraction of chromium(VI) anions from groundwaters where other anionic species are present, mainly sulfate and chloride anions, using Alamine 336 as extractant. The analysis was performed working with two different systems: (i) a binary system (sulfate and chloride anions) and, (ii) a tertiary system (chromium, sulfate and chloride anions) with a composition of 9.6–15.4 mol Cr6+ m−3, 5.2–16.7 mol SO42− m−3 and 4.2–13.5 mol Cl− m−3 respectively. A careful experimental design was performed and the data were correlated to the mathematical models obtaining the equilibrium parameters of the extraction reactions in both systems.
