Abstract
A study has been undertaken to develop a solvent extraction system for zinc with Alamine 308 in aqueous chloride medium. The parameters investigated included reagent concentration, acid concentration, pH, aqueous to organic phase ratio, and rate of extraction and stripping. The study shows that zinc can be extracted rapidly and efficiently from aqueous chloride solutions. A number of aqueous stripping reagents removed more than 90% of the zinc from the organic phase with only one equilibration.
