Note EXTRACTION EQUILIBRIUM OF MERCURY(II) FROM AQUEOUS AMMONIUM THIOCYANATE SOLUTION WITH TRIISOBUTYLPHOSPINE SULFIDE

Abstract
The extraction equilibrium of mercury(II) from aqueous ammonium thiocyanate solution with triisobutyl-phosphine sulfide(=TIBPS=S¯) in toluene has been measured at 303 K. It was found that mercury(II) is extracted according to a solvation reaction by TIBPS as a mercurydl) :TIBPS 1:2 complex, Hg(SCN)2S2, as follows: The extraction equilibrium constant, Ke, was evaluated as Ke = 1.8 × 106 (dm3/mol)2.
