better and over a wider pH range when thiocyanate is in ex-<br />

cess in the aqueous solutions. The pH of aqueous solutions<br />

was used to be 7.0k0.2. The effect of ligands concentration<br />

and the effect of thiocyanates concentrationon the extraction<br />

of copper (11) were studied.<br />

Figure 3 shows the effect of ligands concentration. The<br />

concentration of BPPH or DPPH must be 2.2 times greater than<br />

copper(I1) concentration for quantitative extraction. The li-<br />

gand concentration was used to be threefold molar excess over<br />

copper(I1) Concentration.<br />

Conformance with Beer's law<br />

The extraction of copper(I1) from aqueous thiocyanate<br />

solutions is nearly complete, 97% extraction as BPPH-Cu-SCN,<br />
