A systematic study of the solvent extraction of uranium(VI) and thorium(IV) from hydrobromic acid media was performed using the neutral phosphine oxide extractant Cyanex-923 in toluene. These metal ions were found to be quantitatively extracted with Cyanex-923 in toluene in the acidity range 5x10-5-1x10-4 M and 5x10-5-5x10-3 M, respectively, and they are stripped from the organic phase with 7.0 M HClO4 and 2.0- 4.0 M HCl, respectively. The effect of the equilibrium period, diluents, diverse ions and stripping agent on the extraction of U(VI) and Th(IV) was studied. The stoichiometry of the extracted species of these metal ions was determined based on the slope analysis method. The extraction reactions proceed by solvation and their probable extracted species found in the organic phase were UO2Br2?2Cyanex-923 and ThBr4?2Cyanex-923. Based on these results, a sequential procedure for their separation from each other was developed.

A N,N-dibenzylacetoamide derivative of p-tert-octylcalix[4]arene was synthesised and its solvent extraction of precious metals in nitric acid media was investigated for determining the effects of extractant concentration and contact time as well as nitric acid concentration in comparison with a N,N-diethylacetoamide derivative. The extraction properties with both derivatives exhibited a slight difference. The extraction reaction of divalent palladium with both derivatives is discussed by slope analysis. The stripping behaviour of the extractant loaded with silver and palladium is also described using various stripping solutions.

The solvent extraction and stripping of titanium(Ⅳ) from acidic chloride solutions by trioctylphosphine oxide(TOPO) in kerosene has been investigated. The solvent extraction results demonstrate that the extracted titanium is present as TiCl4.2TOPO. The kinetics of the extraction process is very fast, since the equilibrium is reached in 5 min. In addition, the extraction of titanium (Ⅳ) increases with the total chloride concentration in the aqueous phase, as well as with the extractant concentration in the organic phase. The loading capacity of TOPO for titanium (Ⅳ) is 4.60g/100g TOPO. The stripping results show that when the O/A phase radio changing from 1 to 10, titanium (Ⅳ) is completely stripped from the mental loaded organic phase of TOPO with 1 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid. Thus titanium (Ⅳ) can be enriched to tenfold concentration by the stripping.

The solvent extraction of scandium by the mixture of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (D2EHPA) and tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) has been investigated in the acidic leaching solution of vanadium slag. Thermodynamic analysis of the species distribution diagrams on the Sc-S-H2O system showed that scandium mainly exists as Sc3+ and Sc(SO4)+, and sulfur mainly exists as HSO4− in the actual leaching solution of vanadium slag (pH = −0.75). The extraction process was studied to optimize various parameters such as the extractant concentration, dosage of TBP, phase ratio, and stirring speed. The results indicated that 83.64% of scandium and less than 2% of co-extracted elements were extracted under optimal conditions. Then, over 95% of the co-extracted elements and less than 1.1% of scandium were scrubbed from the loaded organic phase by 4.0 mol/L of HCl. Finally, 87.20% of scandium was stripped with 2 mol/L of NaOH and 1 mol/L of NaCl at a stripping O/A of 1:1.

AbstractAminophosphine of the type (Ph2PNHR) derived from 1-amino-4-methylpiperazine and its chalcogen derivatives (Ph2P(X)NHR X = S, Se) were used as ligands in solvent extraction of metal picrates such as Cu2+, Ni2+, and Pb2+ from the aqueous to the organic phase. Influence of parameters such as pH of the aqueous phase, ligand concentration in the organic phase, and concentration of the extractant extracted from the aqueous to the organic phase was investigated to determine the ligands’ ability to extract metal ions. Metal picrate extraction was investigated at 25°C using UV-VIS spectrophotometry in dichloromethane in the absence and in the presence of Ph2PNHR and chalcogenides. The extraction results revealed that the extraction percentage of Cu2+, Ni2+, and Pb2+ metals was much higher at lower pH values, indicating an acidity dependent complexation equilibrium.

The extraction behaviour of uranium(VI) and thorium(IV) from nitrate solutions has been investigated using Cyanex 923 (TRPO) in xylene as an extractant. The extraction data have been analyzed by both graphical and theoretical methods by taking into account complexation of the metal ion in the aqueous phase with inorganic ligands and all plausible complexes extracted into the organic phase. The results demonstrate that these metal ions are extracted into xylene as Th(NO

Solvent extraction is the most widely used method for separation and purification of rare earth elements, and organic extractants such as di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (P204) and di(1-methyl-heptyl) methyl phosphonate (P350) are most commonly used for industrial applications. However, the presence of impurity ions in the feed liquid during extraction can easily emulsify the extractant and affect the quality of rare earth products. Aluminum ion is the most common impurity ion in the feed liquid, and it is an important cause of emulsification of the extractant. In this study, the influence of aluminum ion was investigated on the extraction of light rare earth elements by the P204-P350 system in hydrochloric acid medium. The results show that Al3+ competes with light rare earths in the extraction process, reducing the overall extraction rate. In addition, the Al3+ stripping rate is low and there is continuous accumulation of Al3+ in the organic phase during the stripping process, affecting the extraction efficiency and even causing emulsification. The slope method and infrared detection were utilized to explore the formation of an extraction compound of Al3+ and the extractant P204-P350 that entered the organic phase as AlCl[(HA)2]2P350(o).
