摘要: In order to clarify the extraction process with saponified extractant, the solvent extraction experiments of rare earth elements (REEs), lanthanum and cerium, by using partly saponified 2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester (EHEHPA, HL) from hydrochloric acidic solutions have been performed. The concentration of initial aqueous rare earth ion was in a range of 0.0010-0.1000 mol·L-1; EHEHPA in a range of 0.2877-0.8631 mol·L-1 with saponification rate of 0.3 (mole fraction), and the initial aqueous pH in a range of 1.00-4.00. Firstly, the extracted species were determined by the saturation extraction capacity method. Secondly, according to the equilibrium aqueous pH values, the extraction processes were divided into three different categories: extraction with saponified EHEHPA, extraction with un-saponified EHEHPA, and hydrolysis process. Finally, for the first two processes, in order to predict the distribution ratio, two semi-empirical calculation models were developed with. The calculation results are in good agreement well with the experimental data.
