Microscopic Insights into Extraction Mechanism of Copper(II) in Ammoniacal Solutions Studied by X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy and Density Functional Theory Calculation

Abstract: A microscopic investigation on the extraction process of copper(II) in ammoniacal solutions has been performed by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The structural change of copper(II) species in ammoniacal solution has been derived from X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) by principal component analysis and linear combination fitting. It was found that the coordination structure of the extracted copper complex in the organic phases is planar square… Show more

“…1. The choice of this set of ionic liquids is motivated by the observation that Cu 2+ coordinates strongly with both carboxylate [41][42][43] and amine [44] ligands. Indeed, high levels of extraction to organic solvents are observed when carboxylate and amine ligands are used in tandem to produce mixed-ligand complexes [45].…”

“…Thus, the main transport resistance could be derived from the diffusion process of the copper complexes through the receiving phase/membrane interface. Based on the previous results, two carrier molecules can coordinate with per Cu ion to form the copper complexes with a planar square configuration, thereby increasing the molecular volume and viscidity of transport matters, which can increase their transport resistance . In practice, increasing temperature is favorable to the Cu­(II) transport, because of the decrease of viscosity of the extracted copper complexes at the higher temperature.…”

“…At pH 8.3, the transport efficiency of Cu­(II), Ni­(II), and Zn­(II) in the receiving phase is 75%, 7.4%, and 3.9%, respectively. Because water and ammonia molecules coordinate more easily with both nickel and zinc extracts than copper extract in the organic phase, the extracted copper complex is more liable to transport in the hydrophobic sandwich SLM, because of its greater hydrophobic nature. Thus, the Cu­(II) in the ammoniacal solutions can be selectively transported over nickel and zinc into sulfuric acid solutions.…”

“…As increasing aqueous pH, ammonia molecules can gradually replace the coordinated water molecules in the hydrated metal ions, thus changing their geometric configuration and increasing the stability. Our previous microscopic investigations can conclude that zinc species of tetrahedral configuration [20] and copper species of planar configuration [21] can evidently inhibit the extraction reactions. Meanwhile, at high pH range, the hydroxyl can predominantly coordinate with metal species to form the mixed hydroxyammine complexes and hydroxo complexes.…”
