The extraction of iodine and bromine under various conditions from their saturated aqueous solutions by CCl4, C6H6 and o-xylene has been studied. The data obtained from the experiments carried out at various temperatures, for H2O(I2)−CCl4 and H2O(I2)−C6H6 systems, exhibit an Arrhenius behaviour. The overall activation energy calculated for the extraction in the H2O(I2)−CCl4 system, 650±50 cal·mol−1 is lower than that of H2O(I2)−C6H6, 3600±300 cal·mol−1. The use of the solubility parameter for the interpretation of the data in the extraction of iodine is investigated. The data obtained in multiple extractions are treated by using the analogy between extraction and radioactive decay. The half number of extraction for each system is determined. The complex curves obtained in the H2O(I2)−CCl4 and H2O(I2) −Br2)−CCl4 systems are resolved into two components.
