Extraction of scandium by liquid
di-2-ethylhexylphosphoric acid in
fusible diluents
Currently widespread distribution of extraction methods using fusible
reagents can be explained by a number of advantages, such as high ki-
netic characteristics of the process, the ease separation of two phases, high
selectivity of many extractants, relatively complete regeneration. For the
extraction of scandium in technological order, neutral and cation exchange
extractants can be used. Extraction of scandium by melt mixtures of di-
2-ethylhexylphosphoric acid – higher carboxylic acid – paraffin and the
effect of acidity of the aqueous phase, the concentration of scandium and
the aqueous extractant in the organic phase, the volume ratio of organic
and aqueous phases on the extraction of metal were studied. It was found
that the extraction of scandium proceeds through the cation exchange
mechanism. Scandium was extracted quantitatively (> 99.0%) from acid
solutions. The optimal concentration of di-2-ethylhexylphosphoric acid in
the extractant was 0,250 M, quantitative extraction of scandium was ob-
served in the range of its concentrations of 10
-3
–10
-6
M and the volume
ratio of organicphases to aqueous phases of 1:5–1:20.
