Abstract
The equilibria and speciation in the solvent extraction of LiCl by nonamethyl-14-crown-4 ether in 1-octanol have been determined by use of ion chromatography (1C) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analyses, equilibrium modeling with the program SXLSQI, and 7Li NMR measurements. SXLSQI modeling of the extraction data indicates the formation of a 1:1 metalicrown complex in the organic phase. The complex apparently exists as an ion-pair__Li(crown)Cl, which partially dissociates to the complex cation Li(crown)+and free chloride anion Cl~. Extraction of LiCl by 1-octanol to give the organic-phase ion-pair LiCl and its dissociated ions Li+ and Cl~ must be included in the data analysis. 7Li NMR measurements verify the existence of free and crown-complexed lithium species in 1-octanol, and the measurements quantitatively agree with results from the SXLSQI model.
