Mixed chelates by solvent extraction-mixed chelates of indium with β-diketones in carbon tetrachloride and xylene media

Abstract

Mixed complex formation of indium with a number of β-diketones has been studied from carbon tetrachloride and xylene media. The extraction of indium by BFA and FFA was studied and the nature of the complexes established. The formation of the mixed complexes with BFA and BA/DBM, FFA and BA as well as BFA and FFA have been studied and their equilibrium constants calculated. The statistical and stabilisation constants have been calculated an interpreted on the basis of the participating ligands.
