the extraction-separation of lanthanum and europium ions with bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (dehpa) in cyclohexane was improved by adding 12-crown-4 (12c4) to the aqueous phase as a masking agent. in the presence of this crown ether the extraction curve of lanthanum ions versus ph shifts to the higher ph region, while the curve is not influenced for the europium ions. consequently the separ...

Background: Water pollution is an important environmental problem, undoubtedly, the presence of toxic heavy metals forms the main source of water contamination. Sorption characteristics of polyurethane foams modified with bis (2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (DEHPA) for the removal of zinc, lead and cadmium ions from contaminated solutions were investigated. Methods: Operating variables, such as ...

Keep in mind the importance of cadmium, cobalt and nickel ions as environmentally and economically strategic heavy metals, the application of two acidic extractants, named bis(2-diethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (DEHPA) and 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone (HTTA), was assessed for the extraction-recovery of these ions from leached solution of spent rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries. The conditions for leach...
