Summary
The extraction of iron as ferric chloride in 7 M hydrochloric acid by a mixture of (1+1) or (2+1) methyl isobutyl ketone and amyl acetate is quantitative for macro as well as for micro amounts of iron. The distribution ratio is very high (∼ 4000). With these mixtures no emulsification difficulties are encountered as they are with methyl isobutyl ketone alone. The behaviour of 44 elements in this extraction has been investigated.
