A critical review on the studies of the synergistic extraction of metals with mixtures of chelating extractants and amines or quaternary ammonium salts is presented. The måchanism of the synergistic extraction of metals with various mixtures of extractants as well as the influence of different factors such as the nature and properties of the metal, the chelating extractant, the amine salt and the diluent are discussed on the basis of the available data.
Keywords: Synergistic extraction, chelating extractant, amines, quaternary ammonium salts.
