Extraction of cadmium from phosphoric acid solutions with amines Part I. Extractant selection, stripping, scrubbing and effects of other components

Stenström, Stig LU and Aly, Gharib LU (1985) In Hydrometallurgy 14(2). p.231-255
Abstract
Cadmium can be effectively removed from wet-process phosphoric acid (WPA) by solvent extraction using long-chain amines, preferably tertiary amines, as extractants. Stripping can be performed either with water or with acids such as phosphoric or sulphuric acid depending on the final conversion of the cadmium waste. Scrubbing could be necessary in some cases and can be performed with alkali.



A factorial design experiment was performed to determine the effects of four different components (H2SO4, HCl, HF, H2SiF6) in WPA on cadmium extraction with Alamine 336. The largest influence on cadmium extraction is seen for the hydrochloric acid, drastically increasing the distribution coefficient. Variations of the concentrations... (More)

A factorial design experiment was performed to determine the effects of four different components (H2SO4, HCl, HF, H2SiF6) in WPA on cadmium extraction with Alamine 336. The largest influence on cadmium extraction is seen for the hydrochloric acid, drastically increasing the distribution coefficient. Variations of the concentrations of H3PO4, HCl, HF, Fe and Al were also studied. The extraction of cadmium was seen to be strongly dependent on phosphoric acid concentration.



A simple extraction model is proposed indicating that CdCl42− ions are extracted. (Less)
