The article presents data on the solvent extraction separation of rare-earth elements (REEs), such as La(III), Ce(III), Pr(III), and Nd(III), using synergic mixtures of methyltrioctylammonium nitrate (TOMANO) with tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) from weakly acidic nitrate solutions. Specifically, experimental results on separation of REEs, for the pair Ce(III)/Pr(III) for quaternary mixtures of REEs (La(III), Ce(III), Pr(III), Nd(III)) and for the pair La(III)/Pr(III) for solutions containing La(III), Pr(III), and Nd(III), are presented. It was shown that effective separation for the pair Ce(III)/Pr(III) from a solution containing 219 g Ce(III)/L, 106 g La(III)/L, 20 g Pr(III)/L, 55 g Nd(III)/L, and 0.1 mol/L HNO, was achieved using 56 steps of a multistage, counter-current solvent extraction cascade with scrubbing, at an organic-to-aqueous phase volume ratio (O/A) equal to 2/1 on the extraction section and O/A equal to 4/1 on the scrubbing section, using 3.3 mol/L solutions of the mixture TOMANO-TBP with molar ratio 0.15:0.85 in dodecane. Separation for the pair La(III)/Pr(III) could be achieved using a solvent extraction cascade with scrubbing in 32 steps at O/A equal to 2/1 on the extraction section and O/A equal to 2.8/1 on the scrubbing section of the solvent extraction cascade from a solution containing 258 g La(III)/L, 58 g Pr(III)/L, 141 g Nd(III)/L, and 0.1 mol/L HNO with 3.0 mol/L solution of the mixture TOMANO-TBP with molar ratio 0.2:0.8 in dodecane.
本文介绍了使用硝酸甲基三辛铵(TOMANO)与磷酸三丁酯(TBP)的协同混合物,从弱酸性硝酸盐溶液中溶剂萃取分离稀土元素(REEs),如La(III)、Ce(III)、Pr(III)和Nd(III)的数据。具体而言,给出了稀土元素(La(III)、Ce(III)、Pr(III)、Nd(III))四元混合物中Ce(III)/Pr(III)对以及含有La(III)、Pr(III)和Nd(III)的溶液中La(III)/Pr(III)对的稀土元素分离实验结果。结果表明,对于含有219 g Ce(III)/L、106 g La(III)/L、20 g Pr(III)/L、55 g Nd(III)/L和0.1 mol/L HNO₃的溶液,在萃取段有机相与水相体积比(O/A)等于2/1且洗涤段O/A等于4/1的条件下,使用3.3 mol/L的TOMANO-TBP混合物(摩尔比为0.15:0.85)在十二烷中的溶液,通过56步多级逆流溶剂萃取级联并进行洗涤,实现了Ce(III)/Pr(III)对的有效分离。对于含有258 g La(III)/L、58 g Pr(III)/L、141 g Nd(III)/L和0.1 mol/L HNO₃的溶液,在溶剂萃取级联的萃取段O/A等于2/1且洗涤段O/A等于2.8/1的条件下,使用3.0 mol/L的TOMANO-TBP混合物(摩尔比为0.2:0.8)在十二烷中的溶液,通过32步带有洗涤的溶剂萃取级联,可以实现La(III)/Pr(III)对的分离。
