Solvent extraction and separation of gallium(III), indium(III), and thallium(III) with tributylphosphate.
A systematic study has been made of the solvent extraction behaviour of milligram amounts of gallium(III), indium(III), and thallium(III) with TBP from hydrochloric acid, and of thallium(III) from nitric acid, sulphuric acid and buffer solutions of different pH. The effect of the metal ion concentration, acid concentration, reagent concentration, salting-out agent, and diverse ions have been critically examined. A scheme for separation of gallium(III), indium(III), and thallium(III) from each other and for their determination is proposed.
