Sumario:The ionic liquid A327HCl is generated by reaction of the tertiary amine A327 (industrial mixture of tri-octyl and tri-decyl amines) and hydrochloric acid solutions. In this study, the extraction of Au(III) by A327HCl ionic liquid under various variables, including metal and ionic liquid concentrations, was investigated. Results indicate that A327HAuCl-4 is formed by an exothermic (ΔH° = -3 kJ/mol) reaction in the organic solution. Aqueous ionic strength influences the formation constant values, and the specific interaction theory (SIT) was used to estimate the interaction coefficient between AuCl-4 and H. Gold (III) was stripped using thiocyanate media, and from the strip solutions, gold was precipitated as gold nanoparticles.
