Sažetak
Extraction of germanium(IV) from aqueous hydrochloric, sulphuric and phosphoric acid solutions with 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenyl-4-pyridone (HX) and 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-(4-tolyl)-4-pyridone (HY) dissolved in chloroform was studied. The extraction with HX took place in the acidity range 1-3 M H2SO4 or 0.5-9.5 M HCl and that with HY in the range 0.5-5 M H2SO4 or 0.2-9.5 M HCl. The separation of germanium(IV) from a large excess of zinc(II), arsenic(III) and gallium(III) by extraction with HX and HY was simple and fast. The formation of a Ge(IV)-HX(HY) complex from sulphuric acid solution was applicable for the spectrophotometric determination of germanium(IV) in the organic phase at the maximum absorption at 299 nm. The extraction of germanium(IV) with chloroform, in the absence of HX or HY, from hydrochloric and sulphuric acid solutions depending on acid concentration and on the addition of lithium chloride was also studied.
