Abstract
AbstractThe solvent extraction of magnesium(II), aluminium(III), titanium(IV), vanadium(V), chromium(III), manganese(II) and iron(III) from hydrochloric acid solutions has been investigated using the trialkylphosphine oxide Cyanex 923 (TRPO) in kerosene as extractant. The results demonstrate that titanium(IV), vanadium(V) and iron(III) are extracted into kerosene as TiOCl2·2TRPO, VO2Cl·TRPO and HFeCl4·2TRPO, respectively. On the other hand magnesium(II), aluminium(III), chromium(III) and manganese(II) are not extracted with TRPO from hydrochloric acid solutions (1.0–4.0 mol dm−3) under the experimental conditions. IR spectral studies of the extracted complexes were further used to clarify the nature of the extracted complexes. The effect of the diluent on the extraction of titanium(IV), vanadium(V) and iron(III) has been studied and correlated with the dielectric constant. The loading capacity of the TRPO system has been evaluated and the potential for the separation and recovery of titanium(IV), vanadium(V) and iron(III) from simulated waste chloride liquors of the titanium minerals processing industry has been assessed.
