Liquid-liquid extraction of divalent transition metal ions with a novel bis-β-ketoester extraction reagent.

Solvent extraction is a very effective method for the separation of metal ions. N,N'-bis(2-hydroxy-phenylmethyl)-N,N'-bis(2-pyridylmetyl)-1,2-ethanediamine derivatives have been researched for solvent extraction of metal ions. In this study.
