Abstract

A study was made of the extraction of perchloric acid in water-nitrobenzene-18-crown-6 (hereafter L) systems. The experimental data was interpreted on the basis of the assumption that the extraction occurs according the equations H+aq + ClO4,aq- ↔ H+org + ClO4,org- and H+aq + Laq + ClO4,aq- ↔ HL+org + ClO4,org-. Crown is also protonated in the aqueous phase according to the equation H+aq + Laq ↔ HL+aq. The values of the corresponding extraction constants, the protonation constants of 18-crown-6 in nitrobenzene and water and the individual extraction constants of the HL+ species in the water-nitrobenzene system were determined, along with the magnitude of the molar free enthalpy for the transfer of these species across the given phase boundary.
