## Abstract The partition behaviour of Hg (II) was studied in an aqueous polyethylene glycol (PEG) — (NH4)2SO4 two-phase system as a function of halide, halide concentration, and pH. For a system prepared by mixing equal volumes of 40 % (w/w) PEG (1550) with 40 % (w/w) (NH4)2SO4, Hg(II) remains alm

✦ Synopsis
Cd(II) plus iodide species were extracted into PEG-rich phases in the aqueous PEG(1550)-(NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 system at pH 2.05 -7.12. IR spectra show that increasing (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 solution acidity does not protonate PEG ether oxygen atoms, but decreases water content in the PEG-rich phases. Metallic species' extraction into the PEG predominantly alters how water molecules bind to polymer chains; the changes in their absorption bands depend on pH. Microscopy shows that "fixation" of the extracted metal in the PEG-rich phase occurs by specific interactions which depend on the species. These also determine changes in the polymer chains' conformation.
