How Acidity Rules Synergism and Antagonism in Liquid–Liquid Extraction by Lipophilic Extractants—Part I: Determination of Nanostructures and Free Energies of Transfer

Efficient formulations used in hydrometallurgy are often based on synergistic action of two oil-soluble extractants at an optimized mole fraction. In this series of two papers, we describe the N,N’...
