LIX 984N-C
Solvent Extraction Reagent

Description LIX 984N-C reagent, a 1:1 volume blend of LIX 860N-IC and LIX 84-IC, is
a mixture of 5-nonylsalicylaldoxime and 2-hydroxy-5-nonyl-acetophenone
oxime in a high flash point hydrocarbon diluent.
Principal uses LIX 984N-C forms water insoluble complexes with various metallic cations in
a manner similar to that shown below for copper:
2RH(org) + Cu+2(aq)

R2Cu(org) + 2H+(aq)

Because this extractant contains no added modifier it may show advantages when used for copper extraction from solutions containing soluble
silica or finely divided solids.
