ქიმიის ტერმინთა განმარტებითი ლექსიკონი

Extraction method wherein charged analytes are extracted from an aqueous phase into an organic
phase assisted by a chelating agent.

Note 1: The chelating agent also substitutes the water molecules in the coordination sphere of the
metal ions. Consequently, the resultant metal chelates have a hydrophobic character which facilitates
their transfer to the organic phase.
Note 2: The analytes are usually metal ions.
