Abstract

The kinetics of the extraction of Fe(III) from an aqueous nitrate solution into a toluene solution of 8-hydroxyquinoline have been examined in a constant-interfacial-area device. During the course of this reaction a competitive reaction takes place in the aqueous phase. This reaction involves transfer of the reagent to the bulk aqueous phase, and the contribution of this pathway to the kinetics of extraction is assessed. The effect of temperature, agitation and the concentration of ferric ions, protons, and reagent on the kinetics of the extraction reaction are considered, and a mechanism is presented.
