Abstract:

 

Eighteen 1,3-diols were synthesized and their structure and  distribution ratio for the solvent extraction of boron were studied.   Diols with a high distribution ratio (D_{B(OH)_3 > 10) were  investigated for the requirements of solvent extraction of boron.   Their extraction capacity, and solubility in aqueous phase and in  organic diluents were investigated by comparison to  2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol (EHD), which is widely used as a boron  extractant.  Among a series of 1,3 diols, 1-benzyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol  (4a) and 2,2,6-trimethyl-1,3-heptanediol (3a) were found to have very  low solubility in the aqueous phase compared to the others.  IPD (3a)  was found to have a high solubility in aliphatic diluents such as  kerosene.  IPD, which has good solubility properties for the solvent  extraction of boron, was studied in detail, including dependence of  pH, diol concentration, and stripping facility, and in various organic  diluents.
