Sulfonamido oximes, metal complexes thereof, and solutions containing such compounds for use in extraction of metal values
Abstract
Abstract Certain sulfonamido oximes, metal complexes thereof and solutions of said compounds in essentially water-immiscible, liquid hydrocarbon solvents are disclosed. The sulfonamido oximes have the general structural formula: <IMAGE> wherein A, R1, R2 and R3 are as defined in the specification and claims hereof. Particular metal values are recovered from their aqueous solutions by using sulfonamido oximes dissolved in essentially water-immiscible liquid hydrocarbon solvents. The extraction process involves contacting the metal value containing aqueous solution with the solution of the sulfonamido oxime in essentially water-immiscible liquid hydrocarbon solvent and stripping the mertal values from the loaded organic phase.
