Evaluation of Materials for the Separation of Germanium from Gallium, Zinc and Cobalt
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the past Ge (Germanium-68) was purified with toxic organic solvents in liquid-liquid extractions making the product unacceptable by the FDA (food and drug Administration) for human use. The authors report initial studies utilizing three or four columns consisting of sequences of AG1, AG50, Chelex 100 and/or Sephadex G25 resins. Five purification methods were examined and a separation consisting of the sequence: AG1-Chelex100-Sephedex G25 provided 87% recovery of germanium. Fractionation of the elution resulted in high germanium concentrations.

Extraction of Zn, Mn and Co from Zn-Mn-Co-Cd-Ni containing solution using D2EHPA, CYANEX® 272 and CYANEX® 302
Effects of pH, D2EHPA, Cyanex® 302 and Cyanex® 272 on extractions of zinc, manganese and cobalt from a Zn-Mn-Co-Cd-Ni containing solution was comprehensively investigated at the room temperature. The addition of Cyanex® 302 indicated a left-shifting-effect on the extraction curve of zinc, a right-shifting-effect on the extraction curve of manganese and no effect on the extraction of cobalt. The...

Gallium extraction from Jajarm Bayer process liquor (Jajarm, Iran) was investigated using microemulsions. Also the behavior of aluminum was studied as an impurity. Kelex100 (4-ethyl, 1-methyl, 7-octyl, 8-hydroxyquinoleine), iso-decanol and n-butanol, and kerosene were used as the surfactant, co-surfactant, and oil phase, respectively. Ternary phase diagrams were produced using various co-surfac...
