and the complexation
of copper by these extractants is shown schematically in Fig. 2.
Today modified aldoximes and aldoxime–ketoxime mixtures are
the most widely used copper extractant systems [11]. In this study
a cadmium common extractant compared with a copper extractant
at the point of their ability in selective separation of cadmium and
copper and also on their loading capacity toward each and both of
these elements.
