Kinetics of Pd [II] extraction with thenoyltrifluoroacetone in carbon tetrachloride

The conditions of the kinetics of extraction of Pd[II] with thenoyltrifluoroacetone [HTTA] in carbon tetrachloride are studied. The extraction rate depends on the pH of the aqueous phase, the concentrations of Pd[II] and reagent and temperature. The activation parameters are also studied through experimental data. In the case of Pd[II] extraction with HTTA the thermodynamic parameters are found to depend on the pH of the aqueous phase
