Extraction of gold, palladium and platinum from chloride, bromide and iodide solution with di-n-octyl sulphide (DOS)
1Department of Analytical Chemistry, Warsaw Technical University, Noakowskiego 3, 00-664 Warsaw, Poland.
Abstract:
The extraction of gold, palladium and platinum from hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid and iodide media by solutions of di-n-octyl sulphide in cyclohexane was examined. From distribution data it was concluded that the monosolvates AuX(3).DOS and disolvates PdX(2).2DOS are extracted. Extraction of platinum was efficient only from iodide solutions; a disolvate PtI(4).2DOS was formed. The possibility of separation of gold and palladium from platinum by extraction from bromide or chloride solutions and simultaneous extraction of palladium and platinum from an iodide medium was demonstrated.

Consider the bromination of cyclopentene. Molecular bromine is polarized in the proximity of the π electrons of cyclopentene. An electrophilic bromine atom adds across the double bond, forming a cyclic bromonium ion intermediate.
