Abstract

The aqueous-insoluble thia macrocycles tetrathia-14-crown-4 (TT14C4) and tetrathia-16-crown-4 (TT16C4) strongly and selectively synergize the extraction of Cu²⁺and Ag⁺ions from aqueous sulfuric acid solutions by the organophilic cation exchanger didodecylnaphthalene sulfonic acid (HDDNS) in toluene diluent. Over a range of sulfuric acid concentrations, the selectivity is given by the order Ag⁺> Cu²⁺> Mn²⁺, Fe²⁺, Fe3+, Co2⁺, Ni²⁺, and Zn²⁺, where synergism occurs only for Ag⁺and Cu²⁺. Selectivity factors greater than 300 have been achieved for Cu²⁺over ubiquitous Fe3⁺. The synergistic extraction of Cu²⁺and Ag⁺was explored as a function of sulfuric acid concentration, relative concentration of macrocycle vs. HDDNS, and loading.
