Separation of zirconium and hafnium by solvent extraction using mixture of TBP and Cyanex 923
2011
Abstract In this study, a new Zr/Hf separation procedure by solvent extraction is proposed. The method is based on using the mixture of TBP and Cyanex 923 as extractant in the organic phase. Several parameters including; TBP/Cyanex 923 volume ratio, extractant concentration in the organic phase, nitric acid and NaNO 3 concentration in aqueous phase have been investigated. The results demonstrate better condition respect to traditional TBP/HNO 3 process. Lower required acid concentration and more zirconium extraction are some advantages of the new separation process.
