Abstract

Rubidium is recovered from a dilute aqueous solution containing rubidium and caesium, with or without other alkali metal salts, by fractionally precipitating caesium as caesium chlorostannate, by addition of an aqueous solution of stannic chloride containing hydrochloric acid, and thereafter adding further amounts of stannic chloride solution to precipitate the rubidium as chlorostannate. The initial stannic chloride solution is preferably in stoichiometric excess relative to the caesium. The invention is particularly applicable to the treatment of chloride solutions obtained by the extraction of lepidolite after removal of lithium followed by concentration and crystallization of sodium and potassium values as chlorides. According to examples, a filtrate from the lepidolite extraction process above outlined and still containing lithium, sodium, potassium and caesium chlorides as well as rubidium chlorides, was treated with soda ash to precipitate lithium as carbonate, cooled, treated with concentrated hydrochloric acid to precipitate sodium and potassium chlorides and then treated with stannic chloride and concentrated hydrochloric acid until a filtered test portion gave no precipitate with iodobismuthic acid. Caesium chlorostannate was removed and further stannic chloride was added with agitation and the rubidium chlorostannate was recovered. This was treated with barium carbonate at about 90 DEG C. to form alpha-stannic acid, which was filtered off, and a solution of rubidium and barium chlorides from which the barium was precipitated as sulphate with sulphuric acid. The rubidium chloride may be purified by dissolving in water, adding concentrated hydrochloric acid and then treated with stannic chloride to precipitate further caesium chlorostannate as impurity, after which the rubidium chlorostannate was treated as before. Alternatively the crude barium chloride/rubidium chloride solution obtained by barium carbonate decomposition of the rubidium chlorostannate may be treated with concentrated hydrochloric acid to precipitate most of the barium and then treated with stannic chloride to precipitate rubidium as chlorostannate as before. The alpha-stannic acid can be reconverted to stannic chloride by boiling in hydrochloric acid and the solution recycled for precipitation of the chlorostannates.
