Study on the Hydrometallurgical Processing of the Nickeliferous Laterite Ore.(IV) : Separation of Nickel and Cobalt by Tri-Butyl Phosphate

The selective separation of nickel, cobalt, and iron by the solvent extraction method from the leach solution of the sulfatized laterite ore, was studied. The applicability of the methods with such solvents as tri-butyl phosphate, tri-butyl phosphate-kerosene, and tri-butyl phosphate-benzene combined with NaClO was examined
