| Summary: | Extraction of Pb(II) with picrate ion [Pic−] and 0, 0.58, 15, 48, or 97 mmol·dm−3 Cd(NO3)2 by benzo-18-crown-6 ether (B18C6; L as its symbol) into benzene (Bz) was studied. Three kinds of extraction constants, Kex, Kex±, and KPb/PbL (or Kex2±), were determined at 298 K: these constants were defined as [PbLPic2]Bz/P, [PbLPic+]Bz[Pic−]Bz/P, and [PbL2+]Bz/[Pb2+][L]Bz (or [PbL2+]Bz([Pic−]Bz)2/P), respectively. The symbol P shows [Pb2+][L]Bz[Pic−]2 and the subscript “Bz” denotes the Bz phase, Bz saturated with water. Simultaneously, conditional distribution constants, KD,Pic (=[Pic−]Bz/[Pic−]), of Pic− with distribution equilibrium-potential differences (dep) were determined. Then, based on the above four constants and others, the component equilibrium constants of K1,Bz (=[PbLPic+]Bz/[PbL2+]Bz[Pic−]Bz), K2,Bz (=[PbLPic2]Bz/[PbLPic+]Bz[Pic−]Bz), and KD,PbL (=[PbL2+]Bz/[PbL2+]) were obtained. Using these constants, the Pb(II) extraction with B18C6 under the co-presence of Cd(II) in the water phase was characterized. In such a characterization, I and IBz dependences on the constants were mainly discussed, where their symbols denote the ionic strength of the water phase and that of the Bz one, respectively.
