Q. Su et al., SOLVENT-EXTRACTION OF TERBIUM(III,IV) PERIODATE COMPLEXES WITH QUATERNARY AMINE, Solvent extraction and ion exchange, 13(2), 1995, pp. 275-288
The differences between the solvent extraction of Tb(III) and Tb(IV) p
eriodate complexes with quaternary amine were studied carefully for th
e first time. The effects of extractant concentration, phase ratio, th
e pH value of stock solution, salting-out agent, extractant form, dilu
ent, and extraction time were comprehensively investigated. Under opti
mal conditions the separation factor between Tb(IV) and Tb(III) period
ate complexes is over 5.5.
