Extraction of organic non-electrolytes with n-hexane from aqueous solutions of dipotassium phosphate and potassium acetate

At a temperature of 20 ± 1 °C, the distribution of model substances of various classes of organic non-electrolytes in n-hexane – aqueous solutions of dipotassium phosphate and potassium acetate was studied. The increments of the methylene and functional groups of organic non-electrolytes are calculated. It has been shown that in case of dipotassium phosphate, the nature of the salting out effect is enhancing the structure of the salt solution and the growth of the methylene group increment. For potassium acetate, the increment of the methylene group slightly increases with increasing salt concentration, and for most functional groups it increases significantly. An explanation of the dependences of the increment values on the nature and composition of the salt solution is given.
