Biobased lipophilic chelating agents and their applications in metals recovery

A bioderived lipophilic β-diketone (14,16-hentriacontanedione, Htd) was isolated from wheat straw wax. Keto-enol tautomerisation studies revealed that Htd was readily enolised in cyclohexane-D12, toluene-D8 and CDCl3, thus demonstrating its suitability as a metal chelator when dissolved in nonpolar...
