Solvent Extraction

Preparation of std. Zinc sulphate (0.5 M) solution: (100 mL SMF)

Molecular weight of Zinc sulphate = 287.56 g/mol

Amount taken = _________ g

Strength of Zinc sulphate = (Amt. taken x 1000 mL) / (287.56 g/mol x 1 L x 100 mL)

Strength of Zinc sulphate _____y_____ M

Amount on Zn in 20 mL = y x 65.38 x 20

=_____Z____ mg


Preparation of 20% Di-(2 ethyl hexyl) Phosphoric acid solution:

Stripping Process:

Total amount of Zn in organic layer = GI + G2 + G3 (Theoretical)

We take 20 mL organic layer for stripping and 20 mL dil.HCl

Amount of Zn in 20 mL organic layer = Theoretical x (20/30) g

Burette reading (EDTA) of stripping = ____h_____ mL

Concentration of Zn = (h.x)/10 mL

Amount of Zn in the solution     = ((h.x)/10 mL) x 65.38 g/mol x 20

                                              =__________ mg

Stripping value = (Amount of Zn in the solution / Amount of Zn in 20 mL organic layer) x 100
