Understanding aqueous-in-organic entrainment in copper solvent extraction

Solvent Extraction Of Chromium (VI) From Aqueous

The extraction of chromium (VI) from hydrochloric, hydrobromic, and acetic acid solutions with Tri caprylamine oxide (TCAO) in benzene has been studied. The extractions from hydrochloric and hydrobromic, acid solutions are nearly quantitative and are partial from acetic acid solutions. The optimum conditions for extraction were established from the study of the effect of several variables like–...

Facile Fabrication of Ultrafine Copper Nanoparticles in Organic Solvent

A facile chemical reduction method has been developed to fabricate ultrafine copper nanoparticles whose sizes can be controlled down to ca. 1 nm by using poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) as the stabilizer and sodium borohyrdride as the reducing agent in an alkaline ethylene glycol (EG) solvent. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results and UV-vis absorption spectra demonstrated that the as-p...

Iodine-Iodide Equilibrium in Aqueous and Mixed Aqueous Organic Solvent Media with or without a Surfactant

Understanding mechanisms of asphaltene adsorption from organic solvent on mica.

The adsorption process of asphaltene onto molecularly smooth mica surfaces from toluene solutions of various concentrations (0.01-1 wt %) was studied using a surface forces apparatus (SFA). Adsorption of asphaltenes onto mica was found to be highly dependent on adsorption time and asphaltene concentration of the solution. The adsorption of asphaltenes led to an attractive bridging force between...
