Ak. Pyartman et al., MATHEMATICAL-MODEL OF QUASI-EQUILIBRIUM COUNTERCURRENT SOLVENT-EXTRACTION OF RARE-EARTH-METALS WITH VARIABLE FEED COMPOSITIONS, Radiochemistry, 36(6), 1994, pp. 533-537
A mathematical model is proposed for the distribution of trivalent rar
e-earth metals as a function of the number of contacts in quasiequilib
rium counter-current solvent extraction with variable feed composition
s. An algorithm for computer calculations is given. The model is used
to select the optimal conditions for separating a didymium mixture.
