Bis-bibenzimidazole composition

A composition of bibenzimidazoles of the Formula (I): wherein X & Y which may be the same or different and, taken together, contain a total of from 12 to 52 saturated carbon atoms, are (a) each selected from -R, -COR, -CH2COOR, -CH(COOR)2 and -COOR; or (b) together form a group selected from whe...

Zusammenfassung:A composition of bibenzimidazoles of the Formula (I): wherein X & Y which may be the same or different and, taken together, contain a total of from 12 to 52 saturated carbon atoms, are (a) each selected from -R, -COR, -CH2COOR, -CH(COOR)2 and -COOR; or (b) together form a group selected from wherein R is an optionally substituted hydrocarbyl group, A & B taken together with the two carbon atoms to which they are linked form an optionally substituted benzene ring; and C & D taken together with the two carbon atoms to which they are linked form an optionally substituted benzene ring; characterised in that at least 50% by weight of the bibenzimidazoles in the composition are of Formula (II) wherein X and Y are as hereinbefore defined; T, U, V & W which may be the same or different, are H, R or OR provided at least one of T, U, V & W is R or OR ; and R is C1-6-alkyl; which are suitable for use in the extraction of zinc from aqueous solutions of zinc in the presence of other metals.
