Synthesis of pincer-type extractants for selective extraction of palladium from PGMs: An improved liquid-liquid extraction approach to current refining processes

Abstract SCS pincer ligands 1–4 were synthesised, and their ability to extract Pd(II) from HCl and HNO3 media was studied. The Pd(II) extraction properties of 1–4 were compared with those of commercial extractants (DOS and LIX®84-I) in kerosene. 1 and 2 showed superior Pd(II) extractability (E% = 99...
