Solvent extraction of Fe(III) by dehydrated castor oil fatty acids.
The effect of temperature on the extraction of FE(III) by dehydrated castor oil fatty acids (DCOFA) has been studied in the temperature range 283-313 K at 1.0M constant ionic strength (NaClO(4)). The temperature dependence of the conditional constant of extraction is given in the form: ln K(ext)=31.95 - 12800(1/T). Also, it was found that the average thermodynamic parameters, DeltaH degrees (ext), DeltaG degrees (ext), and DeltaS degrees (ext) are 106.5 kJ/mole, 27.3 kJ/mole, and 0.3 kJ. mole(-1).K(-1), respectively. The extracted species in toluene solution were identified as FeR(3).HR and Fe(OH)R(2), where HR represents the fatty acid used.
