Solvent extraction reaction of Zn(II) by Alamine336 from strong HCl solution up to 10 M was identified by analyzing the data reported in the literature. The equilibrium constant of this reaction was estimated by considering the complex formation between zinc and chloride ion. The necessary thermodynamic parameters, such as equilibrium constant for the formation of complexes and the interaction parameters, were evaluated from the thermodynamic data reported in the literature. The following solvent extraction reaction and the equilibrium constant was obtained by considering the activity coefficients of solutes present in the aqueous phase with Bromley equation. $Zn^{2+}\;2Cl^{-}\;+\;R_3NHCl_{org}\;=\;ZnCl_3R_3NH_{org},\;K_{ex}\;=\;6.33\;{\times}\;10^2$ There was a good agreement between measured and calculated distribution coefficients of Zn(II).

In the solvent extraction of Ru(IV) with Alamine336, it was found that Ru took part in the reaction as $RuCl_{6}_^{2-}$ in the HCl concentration range of 1 to 5 M. Interaction parameter between hydrogen ion and $RuCl_{6}_^{2-}$ was estimated by applying Bromley equation to the extraction data. From the mixed solutions of Pd(II) and Ru(IV), the distribution coefficients of Pd were found to be higher than those of Ru in the experimental ranges. Separation factor between Pd and Ru rapidly increased with the decrease of Alamine336 concentration. About 60% of the Ru from the mixed solutions was extracted by TBP at 8.3 M HCl, while Pd was not extracted in the HCl concentration range of 1.6 to 8.3 M.

Inconel 713C which of a commercial Ni super alloy have the composition of 70 % Ni, 12 % Cr, 6 % Al and 4 % Mo. Mo is very expensive and have some economic value to recover in the alloy. In this study, liquid-liquid exraction(solvent extraction and stripping) has been performed to separate Mo from the synthetic leaching solution of spent Inconel 713C alloy and prepare to Mo powder by dying, evaporation and heat treatment. The experiments were conducted by using synthetic leaching solution which was prepared $NaMoO_4$ $2H_2O$ by dissolved in distilled water. Alamine336 and Cyanex272 dissolved in kerosene were used as extractants. The extraction percentage of Mo by Alamine336 is 99 % in the condition of the range of pH 1 to 4 and 1 % of concentration of Alamine336. The stripping solutions are used by HCl, $H_2SO_4$ and $HNO_3$ solutions and the concentrations were controlled by distilled water. The concentrations of HCl, $H_2SO_4$ and $HNO_3$ as stripping solutions are increased, the stripping percentages of Mo are increased and the stripping percentage of Mo by $HNO_3$ is higher than other stripping solutions. After liquid-liquid extraction and heat treatment, $MoO_3$ powder which of the purity of 97.5 % was prepared.

Distribution diagram of $CoCl_2$ and $MnCl_2$ was obtained by analyzing ionic equilibria of the two metals in HCl solution. In the HCl concentration range of 4 and 10 M, most of cobalt exists as $CoCl_2$, whereas Mn exists $MnCl_{3}^-$ and $MnCl_2$. Extraction isotherm of Co(II) and Mn(II) was calculated by using the equilibrium constant for the solvent extraction of the two metals by Alamine336. Although the equilibrium constant for the solvent extraction of Mn was higher than that of Co, extraction isotherm indicated that cobalt could be extracted more efficiently than manganese at the same initial extraction conditions.

Solvent extraction and chemical reduction experiments have been performed to separate iron and nickel from a spent FeCl$_3$ etching solution and to recover nickel metal. It was possible to separate iron and nickel by extracting the spent solution with Alamine336. At the O/A ratio of 7:1, iron extraction percentage of 99% was obtained. In the stripping of the loaded organic with 0.01 M HCl solution, iron stripping percentage of 99% was obtained when the A/O ratio was 7:1. When the pH of the raffinate was controlled to be 10.5, nickel metal powder with 99% purity was obtained by using hydrazine as a reducing agent at 100$^{\circ}C$. A process was suggested to recover nickel metal from the spent FeCl$_3$ solution and to regenerate etching solution.

In this study, we investigated the separability of vanadium and tungsten from spent SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) catalyst leach solution by reduction of vanadium and solvent extraction using Alamine 336 and conducted experiments to optimize process conditions. It is difficult to separate vanadium and tungsten due to their similar chemical behavior, but tungsten can be selectively extracted from acidic solution when vanadium extraction is prevented by reducing anionic pentavalent vanadium to cationic tetravalent vanadium. The results showed that NaHSO₃ was most suitable as a reducing agent, and the extraction efficiency of vanadium decreased and the separation efficiency increased as the amount of reducing agent added, reaction time, and temperature increased. When reducing NaHSO₃ 1.5 eq, 60 min, and 60℃, which are optimal conditions of reduction, vanadium and tungsten were effectively separated with vanadium extraction efficiency of 5.8%, tungsten extraction efficiency of 99%, and separation factor of vanadium and tungsten of 7,564.

Cyanex 272 shows the highest separation factor for the rare earth elements from hydrochloric acid solution among the organophosporus acidic extractants, D2EHPA and PC 88A. Solvent extraction of Tb(III) from weak hydrochloric acid solution with an initial pH 3 to 6 was compared with Cyanex 272, its mixture with Alamine 336, and ionic liquid with Aliquat 336. The solvent extraction reaction of Tb(III) using Cyanex 272 was the same as that of light rare earth elements. Synergism was observed for the extraction of Tb(III) by the mixture with Alamine 336 when the initial concentration ratio of Cyanex 272 to Alamine 336 was higher than 5. Use of the ionic liquid led to a great increase in the extraction percentage of Tb(III) from the same initial extraction conditions. While the equilibrium pH of the mixture was always lower than the initial pH, under some conditions extraction with the ionic liquid resulted in a higher equilibrium pH than the initial pH. The loading capacity of the mixture and the ionic liquid was the same and 2.6 times larger than that using Cyanex 272 alone. Ionic liquid was recommended as a suitable extractant for the extraction of Tb(III) from hydrochloric acid solution based on the ease of handling and higher extraction percentage.

본 연구는 탈질용 폐 SCR 촉매로부터 유가금속인 바나듐과 텅스텐을 회수하기 위하여 고온 소다배소, 수침출, 침전 및 용매추출 실험 순으로 진행하였다. 소다배소는 $Na_2CO_3$ 첨가량 5당량, 폐촉매 평균 입자크기 $54{\mu}m$, 배소온도 $850^{\circ}C$, 배소시간 120분의 조건이 적절하였고, 소다배소 산물의 수침출 실험은 배소산물 입자크기 $-45{\mu}m$, 침출온도 $40^{\circ}C$, 침출시간 30분 및 광액밀도 10%의 조건이 적절하였다. 이와 같은 조건하에서 소다배소 및 수침출 실험을 수행한 결과, 바나듐 성분 약 46%와 텅스텐 성분 약 92%가 침출 되었다. 수침출 공정에서 얻어진 바나듐과 텅스텐이 함께 침출된 침출용액으로부터 바나듐 성분을 선택적으로 침전시키기 위하여 MgCl2를 사용하여 침전실험을 수행하였으나, 바나듐 성분이 침전될 때 텅스텐 성분이 함께 침전되어 큰 손실율을 나타내었다. 또한, 침출용액 내의 바나듐과 텅스텐 성분을 분리하기 위하여 용매추출 실험을 수행하였다. 아민계열의 추출제인 Alamine 336 및 Aliquat 336을 사용한 용매추출 실험에서 바나듐과 텅스텐 성분 모두 90% 이상 추출되었다. 이후 수행된 탈거실험에서 대부분의 역추출제에 의해 바나듐과 텅스텐은 동시에 탈거되었다. 그러나 Alamine 336을 추출제로 사용한 유기상의 탈거실험에서 NaCl 및 NH4Cl 용액을 탈거용액으로 사용하였을 경우에 바나듐과 텅스텐이 선택적으로 탈거될 수 있는 가능성을 나타내었다. 반면에 Aliquat 336을 추출제로 사용한 유기상의 탈거실험의 경우, NaOH 용액이 가장 선택적인 탈거용액임을 확인하였다.

A method for the simultaneous determination of copper and cobalt by spectrophotometry has been described. The procedure involves the co-extraction of Cu(Ⅱ) and Co(Ⅱ) from 0.3M HCl into methyl isobutyl ketone as the ion-pairs formed between their thiocyanate complexes and high molecular alkylamines such as Amberlite LA1, Alamine 336, and Aliquat 336. The extract shows the color development to have the maximum absorbances at two different wavelengths i.e., 480 nm for copper and 625 nm for cobalt. Since the spectra of the ion-pairs overlap each other, two simultaneous equations are used to obtain the concentrations from absorbances. Even small amount of Fe(Ⅲ) and Ni(Ⅱ) interferes with the determination of copper. The results of the analysis of samples are in good agreement with the results determined by separate methods within RSD 5.9%.

In order to develop a process for the recovery of valuable metals from spent LiBs, solvent extraction experiments were performed to separate Cu(II) and/or Co(II) from synthetic hydrochloric acid solutions containing Li(I), Mn(II), and Ni(II). Commercial amines (Alamine 336 and Aliquat 336) were employed and the extraction behavior of the metals was investigated as a function of the concentration of HCl and extractants. The results indicate that HCl concentration affected remarkably the extraction efficiency of the metals. Only Cu(II) was selectively at 1 M HCl concentration, while both Co(II) and Cu(II) was extracted by the amines when HCl concentration was higher than 5 M, leaving the other metal ions in the raffinate. Therefore, it was possible to selectively extract either Cu(II) or Co(II)/Cu(II) by adjusting the HCl concentration.
