Abstract

The extraction of mercury(II) from chloride and thiocyanate solutions has been studied by tracer techniques using bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulphoxide (B2EHSO) in benzene as an extractant. These extraction data have been analyzed theoretically by taking into account complexation of the metal in the aqueous phase by inorganic ligands and plausible complexation in the organic phase. The results demonstrate that Hg(II) is extracted as HgX2 and HgX2·nB2EHSO (where X=Cl− or SCN− andn=1 or 2). The effect of the foreign ions on the extraction of Hg(II) has also been investigated.
