A survey of the synergistic mixture containing dinonylnaphthalene sulfonic acid (HDNNS) and 2-ethylhexly 4-pyridinecarboxylate ester (4PC) for the extraction of cobalt from acidic single metal sulfate solution was carried out to suggest how the physicochemical properties and the morphology of the reverse micelles in the loaded organic phase affect the phase separation. The results show that effective parameters affecting the phase separation are the viscosity and the excess water uptake of the loaded organic phase. It is obvious that the specific settling rate (SSR) decreases with the apparent increase of these two parameters. The measurement of small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) proves that the morphology of the reversed micelles in the loaded organic phase changes evidently with the change of the specific settling rate (SSR).展开更多

Infrared spectrum analysis, the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum(NMR) analysis and conductivity measurements confirm that the probable structures of the extracted complexes are CdA2 and ZnA2. Cadmium can be extracted by D2EHDTPA very easily. Almost all the cadmium can be extracted, but stripping of cadmium from the organic phase is very difficult. When a mixture of D2EHDTPA and TOA is used, selective extraction of cadmium from zinc sulfate solution can be achieved. Cadmium can be easily stripped from the organic phase.展开更多
