Abstract
The distributions of tracer and macro quantities of zinc (II) and cadmium (II) between aqueous solutions of sodium chloride and a selection of the most important commercial extraction agents, plus a few of the more promising recently-introduced extractants in a variety of suitable diluents, have been measured. These results have been compared with the extraction and separation of these two metals from a practical plant liquor arising from a fume-scrubbing unit attached to a zinc smelter. It is concluded that the neutral solvating agents will extract zinc prefentially to gave a product of high purity e.g. TBP (tri-n-butyl phosphate), TOPO (tri-n-octyl phosphine oxide).However cadmium, relatively free of iron and zinc, may be obtained by the extraction with liquid anion exchangers, particularly the tertiary amines. Résumé La distribution de traces et de macroquantites de zinc (II) et de cadmium (II) entre des solutions aqueuses de NaCl et une selection d'agents d'extraction commer-ciaux a été mesurée. Les agents d'extraction choisis étaient les plus importants et les plus prometteurs récemment introduits sur le marché. Les résultats ont été comparés avec l'extraction et la séparation de ces deux métaux d'une liqueur industrielle. On peut conclure que l'agent solvant neutre, tel Ie TBP (tri-n-butyl phosphate) et Tapa (tri-n-octyl phosphine oxyde), extrait Ie zinc préférentiellement et donne un produit de haute pureté.Cependant du cadmium relativement exempt de fer et de zinc peut être obtenu par extraction avec un liquide échangeur d'anions, particulièrement d'amines tertiaires.
