Abstract

Di(2‐ethylhexyl) dithiophosphoric acid (D2EHDTPA) was examined for cadmium removal from phosphoric acid solutions. High extraction performance was achieved. By means of slope and saturation methods, the stoichiometry of the complex was postulated. Both methods indicated the presence of anhydrous CdR2 as being the metallic extracted complex, HR denoting the D2EHDTPA molecule. The stripping of cadmium from the organic phase was ensured by aqueous solutions of HCl; quantitative stripping was achieved with either HCl (4 M) or an HCl‐NaCl mixture.
