Selective Extraction of 7-aminodeacetoxycephalospor anic acid and Cephalexin antibiotics with Aliquat-336
ABSTRACT
The reactive extraction of7-ADCA (aminodeacetoxycephalosporanic acid)
and Cephalexin with Aliquat-336 (tricaprylmethyl ammonium chloride) dissolved
in n-butyl acetate as solvent has been studied over a pH range of 5 to 8. The
effect of such parameters as Aliquat-336 concentration, pH and 7-ADCA and
Cephalexin concentrations on distribution coefficient in the reactive
extraction system has been evaluated. It was found that distribution
coefficient (Kd) increases with increases of the aqueous phase pH implying that the
anionic forms of the dissociated 7-ADCA and cephalexin are amendable forreactive
extraction.
