Abstract

A microcapsulated material containing dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6) or 18-crown-6 (18-C6) as an extractant was synthesized. IR spectroscopy was used to investigate the state of encapsulated crown ether and the mechanism of Sc3+ extraction from a sulfate solution, which proceeds via the formation of a "host-guest" complex with inclusion of a metal ion into the macrocycle hole. The electron microscopy examination revealed the effect of solvent addition during the synthesis and the crown ether composition on the morphology of synthesized samples.
