Separation of barium from alkaline earths and
Barium is extracted quantitatively at pH 3–9 with 1 × 10 −2 M dibenzo-18-crown-6 into nitrobenzene from solutions containing 1 × 10 −2 M picric acid, stripped with 1 M nitric acid and determined spectrophotometrically at 640 nm as its complex with sulfonazo-III. Barium can be separated from alkali and other alkaline earth elements and …
