Summary
From extraction experiments and γ-activity measurements, the extraction constant corresponding to the equilibrium Pb2+(aq)+SrL2+ (nb)↔PbL2+ (nb)+Sr2+ (aq) taking place in the two-phase water-nitrobenzene system (L=PEG 400; aq = aqueous phase, nb = nitrobenzene phase) was evaluated as logK ex(Pb2+, SrL2+)=2.0±0.1. Further, the stability constant of the PEG 400 - lead complex in nitrobenzene saturated with water was calculated for a temperature of 25 °C: log β nb(PbL2+)=12.9±0.1.
