Abstract

The work is devoted to the extraction of cadmium from ammonia aqueous solutions. The interaction of cadmium with 2-hydroxy-5-alkylbenzylethylenediamine in a wide pH range was studied. The composition of the extracted compounds was also determined. It has been shown that the state of cadmium in ammonia solutions depends on the pH value of the medium, as well as on the concentration of ammonium salt ions. It was found that cadmium in the reactions carried out is in amine forms – [Cd(NH3)4]2+. In this case, the extractant coordinates with the cadmium ion through the oxygen atoms of the phenolic OH group and the amine nitrogen group. This is confirmed by the fact that cadmium interacts with the reagent as a result of the exchange of the proton of the phenolic OH group and coordination by molecules of the NH group can be provided by the results of an IR spectroscopic study of the reagent and the extracted complex in CCl4, taken in the range of 700-4000 cm-1, characteristic of the appearance of ν-vibrations of hydroxyl and NH bonds in the molecules of the extracted compound. The IR spectra of the reagent and the extracted cadmium compound show that the characteristic absorption band of the OH group in the phenol molecule at a wavelength of 3590 cm-1 sharply decreases, which indicates the replacement of the hydroxyl group proton with the extracted metal ion and the formation of a Cd–O bond. In addition, the absorption band of the NH bond at 1640 cm-1 is shift into the short-wavelength region of the spectrum in the complex, which also indicates the participation of the NH group in the formation of the complex. These analyzes helped establish that indeed the cadmium ion in complex compounds is hydrogen bonded to molecules and forms a tetrahedral geometry.
