Abstract

The extraction of cerium(III) from weakly acidic chloride solutions by HDEHP-nitrobenzene-loaded polyurethane foams could be analyzed quantitatively in terms of the equation: log(9.056 Dc)=log Kc+2.14 log (Cd−6Cc)+3 pH+log fc where Dc is the distribution ratio of cerium(III) between the foam and aqueous phases, Cd and Cc are the total HDEHP and Ce(III) concentrations on the foam, respectively, log fc=[Ce3+](sq)/[ΣCe(III)](aq), and Kc is the equilibrium constant of the equation: Ce 3+(aq) +2.14(HX)2.8(o) ⇌ ⇌ CeX6·H3(o)+3H +(aq) . Values of Kc under the different extraction conditions tested are given.
