N. Ocana et Fj. Alguacil, COBALT-MANGANESE SEPARATION - THE EXTRACTION OF COBALT(II) FROM MANGANESE SULFATE-SOLUTIONS BY CYANEX-301, Journal of chemical technology and biotechnology, 73(3), 1998, pp. 211-216
The extraction and stripping reactions of cobalt(II) by Cyanex 301 in
Iberfluid diluent from aqueous manganese sulphate solutions has been i
nvestigated. The effect of different variables which should influence
the extraction-stripping of cobalt was evaluated, including equilibrat
ion time, temperature, organic diluent, extractant concentration, aque
ous pH, cobalt loading, strip solution concentration, etc. The number
of stages required for the extraction and stripping of cobalt was also
evaluated. The results were used to define the conditions for the pur
ification of manganese sulphate solutions. (C) 1998 Society of Chemica
