N2 - The solvent extraction separation of nickel and cobalt from manganese is an important issue to be resolved. Novel amic acid type extractants with the glycine or sarcosine moiety N-[N,N-di(2-ethylhexyl)aminocarbonylmethyl]glycine (D2EHAG) and N-[N,N-di(2-ethylhexyl)aminocarbonylmethyl]sarcosine (D2EHAS) were synthesized to achieve this separation. These extractants were prepared by a simple two-step reaction and were readily soluble in aliphatic organic solvents. The extraction behavior of Ni2+, Co2+, and Mn 2+ with D2EHAG and D2EHAS in n-dodecane was investigated compared with that of conventional extractants. The novel extractants extracted Ni 2+ and Co2+ preferentially with a high selectivity to Mn2+. The metal ions could be back-extracted quantitatively using 1 mol dm-3 sulfuric acid. The extraction mechanism of the three metal ions with D2EHAG and D2EHAS was investigated, and results suggest that one divalent metal ion is extracted with two extractant molecules.
