Abstract:

Four ionic liquids (ILs) 1-methyl-3-tetradecylimidazolium chloride ([C₁₄MIM]Cl), 1-n-butyl-3-n-butylimidazolium chloride ([C₄BIM]Cl), 1-n-butyl-3-n-tetradecylimidazolium chloride ([C₁₄BIM]Cl), and 1-tetradecylpyridinium chloride ([C₁₄Py]Cl) were synthesized. Sorbents in nature of supported ionic liquid phases (SILPs) were prepared by impregnating ILs on solid carriers such as silica gel, XAD-7 and XAD-4 Amberlite ion exchange resins. Pt(IV) was recovered using these sorbents with the yields over 90%, however, the amounts of used ILs are much less than those of ILs used in extraction method and the process can easily be transferred to heterogeneous phase. The Pt(IV) sorption is affected by the structure of ILs and solid carriers, the IL loading, and IL/Pt molar ratio. The highest sorption yields were observed when using [C₁₄MIM]Cl-based SILPs. Moreover, the sorption isotherms of [C₁₄MIM]Cl/SiO₂ SILPs with different IL loadings and IL/Pt molar ratios were investigated and sorption mechanism was also proposed.
