Abstract
The extraction of Sb(III) chloride by nonpolar solvents from 0.15M HCl was studied as a function of sulphuric acid concentrations in the aqueous phase. The distribution of Sb(III) chloride between the nonpolar solvents benzene, toluene, xylene, nitrobenzene, cyclohexane, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride and filter paper is reported. In case of benzene the Sb(III) activity (given in counts·s−1·ml−1) decreases from ∼1500 to ∼200 after 24 hours. The corresponding values are about 1200 and 540 for toluene, 1330 and 50 for xylene, 1050 and 700 for nitrobezene, 1080 and 22 for cyclohexane, 330 and 30 for chloroform and 130 and 40 for carbon tetrachloride. More than 95% of the adsorbed Sb(III) is desorbed by 1M HNO3, 1M HCl or 0.5M H2SO4 by contacting the loaded filter paper with any of these acids for 27 hours.
