Abstract
Separation of scandium (Sc) from yttrium (Y) in aqueous chloride media was investigated by solvent extraction with bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)phosphinic acid (Cyanex 272). Conventional slope analysis method revealed the extraction equilibrium formulation of the metals. Sc is more strongly extracted than Y by Cyanex 272, and the separation factor of the metals is quite high at 2.82 × 105. Complete stripping of Sc from the loaded organic solution of Cyanex272 could not be achieved, even with a high concentration of hydrochloric acid. Addition of 1-octanol as a modifier to the organic phase decreased the extractability of Sc, leading to successful stripping of Sc from the loaded organic solution.
期刊介绍:
Solvent Extraction Research and Development, Japan (Solvent Extr. Res. Dev., Jpn.) is a periodical issued from Japan Association of Solvent Extraction (JASE) containing papers dealing with all aspects of solvent extraction and their related methods, underlying principles, and materials. Original articles, notes, technical reports, and critical reviews will be considered for publication. Original articles must be of reasonably broad scope and significance to the solvent extraction. Notes will originally describe novel work of a limited nature or especially significant work in progress. Authors can contribute some information of novel techniques, equipment or apparatus, reagents and diluents for solvent extraction as technical reports. Critical reviews will be received from the authors to whom the editorial committee asked to contribute.
