Abstract

The extraction of Cu(II), Zn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Pb(II) from model aqueous solutions using phosphonium based ionic liquids as sole extraction agents has been explored. The hydrophobic trioctyl(4-vinylbenzyl) phosphonium chloride, [P888(4-VB)]Cl, allows almost complete removal of Pb(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) without addition of HCl, while the extraction of Co(II) and Ni(II) was almost null. An efficient extraction (ca.100%) of Pb(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) was obtained using [P888(4-VB)][NO2].
