Abstract: The behaviour of nine kinds of a-alkyl substituted pyridines (Ⅰ) in the extraction of gold in hydrochloric acid media has been investigated.The ionization constants of (Ⅰ) were determined.The effect of the.basicity and steric hindrance in (Ⅰ) on the extraction of gold is also discussed.The experimental results indicate that the order of the extractability of (Ⅰ) is HpPY≈i-HPY>HPY> i-PPY>BePY>PPY>BzPY>BpPY>TfPY.The extracted species are found to be 1:2(Au/I) complex in benzene solution.The extraction mechanism and the influences of the diluent, temperature, common metal ions and various anions on the extraction of Au (Ⅲ) are also studied.
