Extraction equilibrium of palladium(II) with 2-methyl-8-quinolinol into supercritical carbon dioxide fluid.
The present study is concerned with the extraction behavior and equilibrium of Pd(II) with 2-methyl-8-quinolinol (HMQ) into supercritical fluid CO(2) (SF-CO(2)). Pd(II)-HMQ complex extracted from a weakly acidic solution (pH 2-3) into SF-CO(2) was determined to be Pd(MQ)(2) on the basis of a slope analysis. The extraction constant K(ex,SF) (=[Pd(MQ)(2)](SF)[H(+)](2)[Cl(-)](4)[PdCl(4)(2-)](-1)[HMQ](-2)) was determined to be 10(4.3+/-0.2) at 8.5 MPa, 45 degrees C and I=0.4 M (H,Na)Cl (1 M=1 mol dm(-3)). The distribution behavior of HMQ between an aqueous and a SF-CO(2) phase was examined so as to discuss quantitatively the extraction equilibrium. The extraction constant (K(ex,Cy)) of Pd(II) with HMQ into cyclohexane with a similar polarity to SF-CO(2) was determined and the K(ex,SF) was compared with the K(ex,Cy). Pd(II) at the concentration range of 10(-5)-10(-4) M in the aqueous solution (pH<3) containing relatively high concentration of chloride ion was found to be extracted efficiently by the SF-CO(2) extraction.
