Abstract
The extraction of divalent copper, nickel and cobalt from acidic chloride solutions with solutions of heptaloxime, nonaloxime and 2-methyldekaloxime in toluene has been studied at 18*C. These metals were found to be extracted according to the following solvation reaction: The influence of syn-anti isomerization of aldoximes on the extraction has been discussed. Taking into account association and syn - anti isomerization constants of aldoximes in organic phase,hydration of extracted oomplexes and activities of salts in aqueous phase, effective extraction oonstants have been calculated for chloride solutions. Separation of nickel and cobalt from aoidic chloride, bromide and thiooyanate solutions by extraction with heptaloxime has been studied.
