Abstract
The solid phase extraction of gold(III), platinum(II), and palladium(II) to surfactant-impregnated polystyrene-divinylbenzene porous resin (XAD-4) was studied. The extracting media could be prepared just by mixing the resin in aqueous surfactant solutions. XAD-4 impregnated with a nonionic surfactant, polyethylene glycol monooleyl ether, was useful for extracting gold(III) from hydrochloric acid. The extractions of platinum(II) and palladium(II) were improved in the use of XAD-4 impregnated with a nitrogen-containing nonionic surfactant, polyethylene glycol stearyl amine. On the other hand, base metals such as copper(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and zinc(II), were hardly extracted.
