Rb+ and Cs+ were enriched and separated effectively by precipitating Mg2+ before extraction and by scrubbing out K+ and Na+ repeatedly before stripping. The effects of the volume ratio of organic phase to aqueous extraction phase(O/A), alkalinity of aqueous phase(c(OH)-), interference from K+ and Mg2+, and ratio the volume of organic phase to aqueous scrubbing phase(O/A′) were investigated. The experimental brine was extracted optimally by 5-stage extraction with 1.0 mol/L t-BAMBP in SK, c(OH-)=1 mol/L, and O/A=1:1. The scrubbing yield of rubidium was only about 10.5% when the extraction solvent was washed 3 times with 1×10-4 mol/L Na OH at O/A′=1:0.5. After 5-stage countercurrent extraction, the final extraction yields of Rb+ and Cs+ reached 95.04% and 99.80%, respectively.展开更多

The effect of t-BAMBP concentration and aqueous phase pH on the rubidium and lithium extraction equilibrium was studied, t-BAMBP/cyclohexane was efficient and selective for rubidium extraction with optimal operating conditions being pH of 13.0 and initial t-BAMBP concentration of 1.0 mol.L-1. The stoichiometry of the complex of α-BAMBP with rubidium is 4:1. The apparent extraction equilibrium constant of rubidium was calculated by fitting the experimental data.展开更多
