Preconcentration of cadmium with OP-10 nonionic surfactant phases at the cloud point

摘要

The effect of the main parameters on the extraction of cadmium with carboxylic acids into the micellar phase of the OP-10 nonionic surfactant at the cloud point was studied. Conditions were found for the atomic absorption determination of cadmium in natural and waste waters using the micellar-extraction preconcentration with capric acid and n-octylamine into the surfactant phase.
