Formation of mixed complexes in the extraction of indium with 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol.
A detailed study has been made of the extraction of indium into chloroform by 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN). The rate of extraction is maximal if the PAN is added to the aqueous phase and is not added as its chloroform solution. The ratio of indium to PAN is 1:1 and the cationic complex can be extracted only if a suitable anion is present, such as acetate or chloride.
