Abstract
Microtube microfilter with organic phosphoric acid (expressed as MF-OP) containing a wastewater portion with buffer fluid and an enriched portion with nitric acid fluid and organic phosphoric extractant dissolved in benzin has been studied for its trivalent holmium (expressed as Ho(III) collection from rare earth wastewater. Common parameters affecting the collection effect have been investigated, including hydrogen ion molar concentration (molar concentration can be expressed as Cm) or pH value, initial concentration (expressed as Co) of Ho(III), ion-force of rare earth wastewater, voluminal proportion of organic phosphoric extractant with benzin and nitric acid fluid (expressed as Vr), nitric acid Cm, extractant Cm, and type of acid fluid in an enriched portion. The virtues of MF-OP compared to the traditional collection was explored. The impacts of hydrodynamic characteristics (steadiness and current speed) and MF parameter factors (inradius of tube, tube-shell thickness, proportion of holes) on the collection performance of MF-OP for Ho(III) collection were also considered. The test results displayed that the greatest collection conditions of Ho(III) were attained as nitric acid Cm was 4.00 mol/L, extractant Cm was 0.220 mol/L, and Vr was 0.8 in the enriched portion, and pH value was 4.60 in the wastewater portion. Ion- force of rare earth wastewater had no noticeable outcome on Ho(III) collection. The collection proportion of Ho(III) was attainable to 93.1% in 280 min, while Co was 1.80 × 10-3 mol/L.
