Description:
The effect of formaldehyde (HCHO) on the extraction of Cu(II) from an equimolar EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, H"4L) solution with Aliquat 336 in kerosene (a quaternary amine) was examined. Experiments were carried out at different initial concentrations of Cu(II) (1.57-5mol/m^3), solution pH (3.0-8.0), HCHO concentrations (0-3vol.%), Aliquat 336 concentrations (80-400mol/m^3), and temperatures (15-35^oC). It was shown that the distribution ratios (D) of Cu(II), which exists in the form of complexed anions CuL^2^-, increased with increasing equilibrium pH (pH"e"q), but reached a plateau at pH"e"q>4 for the system without HCHO and at pH"e"q>4.5 for the system with 1vol.% HCHO. The D values increased with increasing HCHO concentration, likely due to the reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(I) by HCHO in solution. A semi-empirical two-parameter model was proposed to describe the extraction equilibrium, in which the non-ideality in organic phases was considered. The thermodynamic parameters were also evaluated and discussed.
