Abstract: Extraction of catechol and 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene hy tri-n-octylamine(in ben-zene or octanol)lias been studied.The effects of organic diluents, pH and concentration of Na2SO4 on the distribution coefficient D have been investigated. FTIR analysis of the organicphase shows that trioctylamine forms complexes with phenols through hydrogenbond or ionicassociation. The compositions of complexes have been determined.

Key words: complexation extraction, catechol, trihydroxybenzene, tri-n-octylamine
