The liquid-liquid extraction of copper(II) with bidentate mono-Schiff base extractants(HL), namely, N-salicylideneaniline (SA), N-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthalidene)aniline (HNA), N-salicylidene-1-naphthylamine (SN), and N-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthalidene)-1-naphthylamine (HNN), from a weakly acidic sulphate media into chloroform was studied in both the absence and the presence of acyclic polyether non-ionic surfactant (S). In the absence of the non-ionic surfactant, the extractability of copper(II) was 92.6% with SA, 89% with HNA, 81% with SN, and 80% with HNN. The estimated extraction constants, (log K ex ) of the four extractants revealed that the extraction efficiency increased in the order HNN, SN, HNA,SA. Besides, it was found that copper(II) was extracted as CuL 2 (HL) with SA and HNA, and as CuL 2 with SN and HNN. The extraction of copper(II) was significantly enhanced with HL into chloroform upon the addition of a non-ionic surfactant. An extractability of 100% was reached. The stoichiometry of the extracted complexes was CuL 2 S. The synergic extraction ability of extractants changed in the order SA.HNA.SN,HNN, whereas, the synergic effect fell in the order HNN.SN.HNA,SA.
