Abstract
Liquid-liquid extraction of Ni(II) ion by Kelex 100 and 8-sulfonamidoquinolines in chlorobenzene was studied at 25°C. The extraction equilibrium was established only slowly, requiring generally 24 h mechanical shaking. The extractants (HL) behaved as bidentate monoanionic chelating ligands, forming 1:2 (Ni2+:L-) complexes on metal extraction. The overall extraction constants (log Kexi; Kex=[NiL2]org[H+]2aq/[Ni2+]aq[HL]2org were in the order of −6 for Kelex 100 and in the range of −8–10 for 8-sulfonamidoquinolines depending on the nature of organic sulfonyl groups. A small synergistic effect by trioctylphosphine oxide, 4-benzylpyridine and 6-nitroquinoline as well as by Kelex 100 itself was observed in the extraction by Kelex 100.

The a values are very sensitive to the experimental errors involved in the data points at low or high metal extraction ratios (i.e., D<0.2 or D>5). Therefore, α values and standard deviations of the linear plots can serve as a useful measure of equilibrium attainment. On the other hand, the half extraction pH (pH at D=1) are usually not so sensitive to small errors due to unequilibration as are seen in Table 1.
It was at first suspected that a values lower than 2 indicated co-extraction of other anionic species in solution such as NO3- and Cl-. However, as subsequent study indicated, the use of excess NO3-, Br- or CH3CO2- did not cause any alteration in the basic extraction behavior of Ni(II) ion. Therefore, it was concluded that the metal was extracted solely with proton-dissociated extractant molecule as counter anion. It was also studied about the possibility that low a values were caused by the formation of hydrated metal complex NiL2(H2O)2 and its dissolution in aqueous solution. However, the metal extraction generally reached -100% in the present study, and thus such a factor could not satisfactorily explain the observed experimental facts. Theoretically, the involvement of water-soluble complex can affect the slope only slightly (moreover, it tends to increase the slope rather than decrease).
In this calculation, the formation of adduct complexes (n>/1 in equation I) was neglected. In fact the extent of adduct formation under the conditions of Table 1 was estimated to be rather low (see below and note 21).

Theoretical and model calculations predicted that the plots of pH1/2vs. −log[HL]org gave a straight line with a slope between 1 and 1.5 when the number of neutral ligands within the adduct is limited to 1 (n= 1 in reaction 1). Then, a calculation further indicated that the observed slope 1.2 corresponded to the value of equilibrium constant of adduct formation, K(K= [NiL2·HL]org/([NiL2]org·[HL]org), of around 10. If this value is adopted for K, then the extent of adduct complex formation in the organic phase under typical extraction conditions in Table 1 is in the order of 10–20%.
