Extraction of Thorium(Ⅳ) Using Cextrant 230/Anionic Surfactant Sodium Bis（2-Ethylhexyl）Sulfosuccinate/n-Heptane Microemulsion北大核心CSCD

A stable microemulsion system is constructed by choosing α-aminophosphonate extractant Cextrant 230 and an anionic surfactant sodium bis（2-ethylhexyl）sulfosuccinate（AOT）as the cosurfactants. The effects of some factors such as pH and the concentration of Cextrant 230,AOT,NaOH and the sulfate in the aqueous solution on the maximum water ratio（x0 ）are studied. The process and effects of microemulsion formation are analyzed and the optimized conditions for the stable microemulsion are determined. The Cextrant 230-AOT-n-heptane microemulsion system is applied for the extraction of thorium. The effects of emulsion-to-water volume ratios,the concentrations of Cextrant 230,AOT and sulfate,temperature are studied. The extraction rate of thorium in the microemulsion system increases with the increase of the concentration of Cextrant 230（or AOT）, which is significantly higher than that of AOT-n-heptane microemulsion system. Cextrant 230 and AOT have a synergistic effect on the extraction of thorium. Temperature has little effect on extraction of thorium and the reaction is entropy-driven. Upon the comparison of the stripping of thorium by different inorganic acids, sulfuric acid is chosen as the stripping reagent. The loading capacity for ThO2 is about 1. 43 g/L. This microemulsion system is applied to the separation of Th from the actual bastnaesite sulfate leach liquid after the cerium extraction and the thorium content can be reduced to less than 0. 1 mg/L. The microemulsion system has both the advantages of thermodynamic stability and high efficiency. © 2022, Science Press (China). All rights reserved.     

Cextrant 230从低品位铜矿H2SO4-NaCl浸出液中选择性提取回收铜

助浸剂NaCl可提高硫酸在常温常压下浸取低品位复杂铜矿时铜的浸出率,但也形成了含铜的混酸溶液。二(2-乙基己基)-(N-(2-乙基己基)氨基)甲基膦酸酯(Cextrant230)对混酸(H₂SO₄+HCl)溶液中Cu²⁺、Fe³⁺、Co²⁺、Mg²⁺和Al³⁺的萃取行为进行了研究。结果表明,Cextrant 230对混酸溶液中的Cu²⁺和Fe³⁺具有良好的萃取能力和选择性,而对Co²⁺、Mg²⁺和Al³⁺的萃取能力较弱;Cl^-可促进Cu²⁺的萃取,而SO₄^2-和HSO₄^-对Cu²⁺的萃取起抑制作用;Cu²⁺的萃取过程是放热反应;当水相初始pH值为1.16...
