In this work, the feasibility of employing Cyanex 923 as an extractant into the non-cerium REE (rare earth elements) impurity analysis of high-purity cerium oxide was investigated. Through investigations on the choice of the extraction medium, the optimium extraction acidity, matrix Ce4+ effect on the non-cerium REE ion extraction, the optimium extractant concentration and suitable extracting t...

Cobalt sulfate was recovered from crushed and screened prismatic type spent lithium ion batteries (LIBs) containing 5~20 % Co, 5~7 % Li, 5~10 % Ni, 15% organic chemicals, and 7% plastics together with Cu, Al, Fe, and Mn. Cobalt was reductively leached from the -16 mesh fraction in 1 h by stirring with 2 M H2SO4 and 6 vol% H2O2, at 60 C and 300 rpm using a solid/liquid ratio of 100 g/L to give a...

The separation of cobalt and nickel was carried out via solvent extraction using the commercial extractant bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)phosphinic acid (Cyanex-272). Solvent experiments were performed on a batch scale to optimize concentration, saponification degree, equilibration time, organic-to-aqueous phase ratio (O/A), stripping conditions. High selectivity over obtained at an concentration a...
