  • Published : 1997.04.01

Abstract

The solvent extraction method was applied on the wastewater produced during malonate(malonic acid esters) process to recover cobalt. DEHPA and PC88A were used as organic solvent From separation funnel experiment(batch experiment), the effects of vari- ous parameters (pH, cobalt concentration, reaction rate, and stripping temperature) on solvent extraction were examined and these data were used to derive equilibrium curve. A mixer-settler experiment (continuous experiment) of bench scale was also carried out for the plant construction and a Mccabe-Thiele diagram was obtained. The results of these experiments indicate that cobalt is recoverable above 99 oyo and that its purity as cobalt sulfate Is higher than 99.9 wt%.

말로네이트 제조 공정에서 발생되는 폐액으로부터 용매추출법을 적용하여 코발트 회수 연구를 하였다 용매 추출에서의 주요 변수는 용매의 선택, pH, 코발트 농도, 역추출 온도 등이며 이러한 변수들의 영향을 조사하였다. 용매로써 DEHPA와 PC88A가 사용되었으며 이들 용매의 평형추출 곡선을 구하였다. 공장설계 조건을 찾기 위하여 Mccabe-Tiele 선도를 작성하였고, 연속 공정인 믹서-세틀러 장치를 가동하였다. 본 연구 결과 폐액 중에서 코발트는 99.9% 이상 회수되었고, 회수된 황산코발트의 순도는 99.9% 이상이었다.
