Several extractants were studied, including 4‐nonylphenol, 3,4‐bis((2‐ethylhexyl)oxy)phenol, di‐2‐ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">D2EHPA</jats:styled-content>), Versatic acid 1019, di‐nonyl‐naphthalene‐sulfonic acid (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">DNNSA</jats:styled-content>), and 4‐octylbenzaldehyde. 1‐Octanol, 2‐octyl‐1‐dodecanol and heptane were used as diluents, and temperatures of 25 °C and 65 °C</jats:bold>.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p><jats:bold>The most promising solvent is 4‐nonylphenol, hardly leaching into the aqueous raffinate (19 ppm), and showing <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">BDA</jats:styled-content> distribution coefficients very strongly dependent on the extractant concentration, ranging from very low distribution ( D ∼ 1 at &lt;20 wt% 4‐nonylphenol in 1‐octanol at 25 °C) to high distribution (D &gt; 100) for pure 4‐nonylphenol at 25 °C. The strong dependency of the distribution on extract phase composition was applied to efficiently back‐extract up to 90% <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">BDA</jats:styled-content> in a single step. To achieve this, the pure 4‐nonylphenol used in extraction was diluted to a 20 wt% dilution in 1‐octanol. The use of 4‐nonylphenol as extractant was also examined for <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">PDA</jats:styled-content>, and higher distributions were observed than for <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">BDA</jats:styled-content>, which can be attributed to the longer hydrocarbon chain of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">PDA</jats:styled-content></jats:bold>.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title><jats:p><jats:bold>Recovery of diamines from aqueous medium can be accomplished in an effective way using 4‐nonylphenol as extractant.
