Abstract
ABSTRACTTertiary amine N235 diluted with sulphonated kerosene containing sec-octyl alcohol as a phase modifier was used to directly extract molybdenum from the acidic leach solution of Ni–Mo ore. The results indicated that the extraction of molybdenum can reach more than 88% using a solvent extraction system consisting of 10 vol.-% N235 and 10 vol.-% sec-octyl alcohol in sulphonated kerosene with an O/A ratio of 1:2 at room temperature for 20 min. The extracted molybdenum species of Mo7O21(OH)33–, MoO2(SO4)22– and MoO2(HSO4)42– in loaded organic phase were identified, and the predominant species was Mo7O21(OH)33–. Molybdenum in the loaded organic phase can be stripped with ammonia solution, and the stripping of molybdenum can reach 95.8% at an O/A ratio of 7:1, phase contact time of 10 min, and the ammonia concentration of 6 mol L−1.
