Article Synopsis
- Researchers explored the reaction of red phosphorus with alkyl bromides using strong bases and phase transfer catalysts to create sulfur-containing organophosphorus compounds that function as extractants for heavy metals.
- The reaction conditions involved heating the mixture and then adding elemental sulfur, resulting in a range of products, primarily alkylphosphines and their oxides.
- Testing revealed that the synthesized mixtures of alkylphosphine sulfides and oxides effectively extract heavy metals like Ni, Co, Zn, Pb, and noble metals such as Ag, achieving extraction rates of over 99%.
