Abstract: In this paper, the extraction of palladium with triNoctyl phosphine oxide(TOPO)from hydrochloric acid solution and its back-extraction with thiourea have been studied, The composition of the extraction complexes determined experimentally by the methods of equi- molal series, saturation,solpe and chemical analysis. The extraction mechanism of palladium with TOPO were discussed through UV-VIS spectrometric determination, The extraction process can be expressed as: 2PdCl42-(a)+2TOPO(o)⇔Pd2Cl4·2TPPO(o)+4Cl-(a)

Key words: Palladium, tri-n-oxtyl phosphine oxide, extraction, mechanism
