Abstract
The distribution and competitive behaviors of phosphotungstic acid and ferric chloride in the TBP–HCl–H2O system were investigated by controlling the extractant concentration and the solution environment. The results revealed that phosphotungstic acid exhibited a strong affinity for TBP with decreasing TBP concentration. Higher acidity significantly improved the W extraction efficiency with TBP, and the lower Cl− concentration reduced the extraction efficiency of Fe. As the organic phase approached saturation point, phosphotungstic acid competitively displaced Fe to combine with TBP. The hydrogen bond structure (P=O·HO—P—W—O) between phosphotungstic acid and TBP was characterized by FT-IR, and the salting-out effect induced by FeCl3 was elucidated. In summary, high acidity is beneficial for exhaustive extraction of W, and an effective W/Fe separation can be achieved by reducing the concentrations of TBP and Cl−.
期刊介绍:
The Transactions of Nonferrous Metals Society of China (Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc. China), founded in 1991 and sponsored by The Nonferrous Metals Society of China, is published monthly now and mainly contains reports of original research which reflect the new progresses in the field of nonferrous metals science and technology, including mineral processing, extraction metallurgy, metallic materials and heat treatments, metal working, physical metallurgy, powder metallurgy, with the emphasis on fundamental science. It is the unique preeminent publication in English for scientists, engineers, under/post-graduates on the field of nonferrous metals industry. This journal is covered by many famous abstract/index systems and databases such as SCI Expanded, Ei Compendex Plus, INSPEC, CA, METADEX, AJ and JICST.
