A method for producing metal zinc by liquid/liquid extraction, comprising leaching of a zinc-bearing solid raw material containing antimony with a slightly acid aqueous solution, at a pH value maintained above 3 and less than or equal to 5, with formation of a suspension, drawing-off from the suspension of an aqueous phase containing zinc in solution to be subject to the extraction, additional leaching of the remaining suspension with an acid aqueous solution, at a pH value maintained below 3.5 and greater than or equal to 1, with formation of a pulp, introduction of a neutralizing agent in this pulp with coprecipitation of antimony and other impurities and separation from this neutralized pulp of a zinc-bearing aqueous solution which is recycled to the step for leaching the zinc-bearing solid raw material.

摘要:
Anhydrous zinc chloride is produced from an aqueous feed solution containing zinc chloride from an aqueous feed solution containing zinc chloride. The zinc chloride is extracted onto an organic extractant known to the art such as tributyl phosphate, primary, secondary or tertiary amines, and quaternary amine salts. The loaded extractant is then stripped with aqueous stripping solution containing ammonium chloride and ammonium hydroxide. The zinc ammine chloride formed in this aqueous stripping solution is separated from the stripping solution and can then be heated to form anhydrous zinc chloride and ammonia. This anhydrous zinc chloride is suitable as a feed material to a fused salt electrolysis process for the production of zinc.
摘要:
Method for separating plutonium ions from an aqueous solution containing sulfuric acid. The method comprises introducing into the aqueous solution 0.1 to 1.5 moles of nitrate ions per liter of aqueous solution. To the aqueous solution containing nitrate ions, there is added an organic phase comprising a solution of 0.1 to 1.0 M di-2-ethylhexylphosphoric acid in kerosene in a volume ratio of the aqueous solution containing nitrate ions to the organic phase of between 1:1 and 4:1 to extract the plutonium ions into the organic phase. The organic phase containing plutonium ions is then separated from the aqueous solution. A re-extractant aqueous solution containing 0.2 to 1.0 M oxalic acid, and 0 to 0.5 M nitric acid is then added to the separated organic phase to re-extract the plutonium ions into the re-extractant aqueous solution. The re-extractant aqueous solution containing plutonium ions is then separated from the organic phase.
摘要:
A process for extracting metal ions from a water insoluble metal base or salt dispersed in an aqueous solution using liquid ion exchange is described. The liquid ion exchange extractant is an alkyl phosphoric acid or acid phosphate (APA) which is dissolved in a water immiscible organic solvent. In contrast to prior art processes where the metal ion is dissolved in an aqueous solution, the insoluble metal base or salt is one which is reactive from an aqueous solution with the APA to replace one of the acid hydrogens to form an alkyl phosphate metal salt (APS) in the organic solvent. The metal ion can be recovered from the APS in the organic solvent by stripping with an aqueous acidic solution so that the metal ion is removed from the APS to form a metal salt in the aqueous acidic solution and the APA in the organic solvent is regenerated for reuse. The process is particularly adapted to producing alum from aluminum hydroxide which is dispersed in an aqueous sludge resulting from precipitation or coagulation with alum in potable water clarification. The aluminum ion is extracted by the APA from the aluminum hydroxide and then recovered by using an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid to remove the aluminum ion and to form aluminum sulfate in an acidic aqueous solution, referred to as "liquid alum", which can be reused.
