摘要
A kind of Levextrel resin separation process was developed for separation ofindium (III), gallium (III), and zinc (II) from aqueous sulfate solution with Levextrel resincontaining di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (CL-P 204). The aim of the research is to collectpreliminary results for a pilot-scale production. Properties of adsorbing indium (III), gallium(III), and zinc (II) from sulfate solution with the Levextrel resin were first studied by batchoperation and column operation. The optimum pH, adsorption capacities and concentrations ofstripping agents for indium (III), gallium (III) were tested. The separation order of indium (III),gallium (III), and zinc (II) from sulfate solution with CL-P 204 Levextrel resin was found thatindium (III) could be first separated by adsorbing at the acidity of 1.0 mol/L whereas gallium (III)and zinc (II) could not, and they were adsorbed together by adsorbing at pH =2.8, then separatedfrom each other by stripping with 0.1 and 0.5 mol/L hydrochloric acid, respectively. The recoveriesof three metal ions were all higher than 99 percent. The cyclic properties of this resin are well.
