Abstract:
      Effects of saponification degree and phase ratio (O/A) of organic phase on aluminum removal rate from mixed rare earth chloride solutions with aluminum content of 0.2~0.4 g/L were investigated by countercurrent cascade extraction in naphthenic acid-isooctyl alcohol-kerosene system. Aluminum at outlet of aqueous phase is qualified (Al2O3/REO<0.01%) under the optimum conditions including volume ratio of naphthenic acid, isooctyl alcohol, and kerosene of (15%~20%)︰(15%~20%)︰(60%~70%), saponification degree of 0.10, and phase ratio O/A=1/2.
