Abstract
Equilibrium distribution of palladium(II) was investigated in the solvent extraction with tri-octylmethylammonium chloride (QC1) in toluene from hydrochloric acid solutions at 303 K. The title extracting reagent extracted hydrochloric acid as the species of the types, QC1(HC1) (n(n= 1,2), according to the similar extraction reactions as observed in the extraction of organic acids such as acetic acid and phenol with high-molecular-weight amines in the previous works. From the concentration dependencies of the reactant species on the distribution ratio and from the result of loading test, it was elucidated that palladium(II) is extracted as a mononuclear ion pair complex of the type, Q+;[PdCl]3 (HCl)] in the very high concentration region of hydrochloric acid. The equilibrium constant of the extraction reaction was evaluated.
