Description
Foreliggende oppfinnelse vedrører gjenvinning av metaller oppløst i en konsentrert sinksulfatoppløsning. Mere spesielt vedrører den gjennvinning av metaller omfattende indium, germanium og gallium. The present invention relates to the recovery of metals dissolved in a concentrated zinc sulphate solution. More particularly, it relates to the recycling of metals including indium, germanium and gallium.
I løpet av de siste 10 år har de såkalte "mindre metaller" så som indium, germanium og gallium funnet et stadig økende antall anvendelser, spesielt innen feltet elektronikk. Som følge derav har disse metaller nådd et relativt høyt pris-nivå og mange teknikker har derfor vært foreslått for deres gjenvinning fra forskjellige media. During the last 10 years, the so-called "minor metals" such as indium, germanium and gallium have found an ever-increasing number of applications, especially in the field of electronics. As a result, these metals have reached a relatively high price level and many techniques have therefore been proposed for their recovery from different media.
Noen av disse metaller er tilstede i sinkmalmer, mere spesielt i sinkblend. Av denne grunn har hovedandelen av de foreslåtte prosesser stammet fra sinkmetalurgien. Some of these metals are present in zinc ores, more particularly in zinc alloy. For this reason, the majority of the proposed processes have originated from zinc metallurgy.
Med hensyn til indium og germanium er to tilfredssstillende teknikker: for germanium, en hvor det anvendes en væske-væskeekstraksjon under anvendelse av 8-hydroksykinolin derivater, slik som beskrevet i europeisk patent nr. 0,046,437 og for indium, en hvor det anvendes ekstraksjon med en harpiks innholdende en 02EHPA gruppe, slik som beskrevet i fransk patent nr. 2,435,533. With regard to indium and germanium, two satisfactory techniques are: for germanium, one where a liquid-liquid extraction using 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives is used, as described in European Patent No. 0,046,437 and for indium, one where extraction with a resin containing an 02EHPA group, as described in French patent no. 2,435,533.
Imidlertid er det ikke tilgjengelig noen tilfredsstillende teknikk som muliggjør gjenvinning av gallium fra disse media, spesielt pga. den høye fortynning av gallium og de høye konsentrasjoner av forskjellige konkurrerende elementer, spesielt sink, aluminum og sjeldene jordarter (eks. gadolinium). En av hensiktene med foreliggende oppfinnelse er derfor å tilveiebringe fremgangsmåte for gjenvinning av gallium fra sulfatoppløsninger som er tynne med hensyn til gallium eller innholder forurensninger. However, no satisfactory technique is available which enables the recovery of gallium from these media, particularly due to the high dilution of gallium and the high concentrations of various competing elements, especially zinc, aluminum and rare earths (e.g. gadolinium). One of the purposes of the present invention is therefore to provide a method for recovering gallium from sulphate solutions which are thin with regard to gallium or contain impurities.
En annen hensikt med foreliggende oppfinnelse er å gjenvinne samtidig minst to av metallene omfattende indium, germanium og gallium. Another purpose of the present invention is to simultaneously recover at least two of the metals comprising indium, germanium and gallium.
En annen hensikt med foreliggende oppfinnelse er å tilveiebringe fremgangsmåte som muliggjør at de overfornevnte metaller kan gjenvinnes fra fortynnede oppløsninger, dvs. med konsentrasjoner mindre enn 500 mg/l og fortrinnsvis mindre enn 100 mg/l. Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a method which enables the above-mentioned metals to be recovered from dilute solutions, i.e. with concentrations less than 500 mg/l and preferably less than 100 mg/l.
En annen hensikt med oppfinnelsen er å tilveiebringe fremgangsmåte som muliggjør at konsentrasjonen av de nevnte elementer kan nedsettes til mindre enn 10 mg/l, fortrinnsvis mindre enn 5 mg/l og mere fordelaktig mindre enn 1 mg/l. Another purpose of the invention is to provide a method which enables the concentration of the mentioned elements to be reduced to less than 10 mg/l, preferably less than 5 mg/l and more advantageously less than 1 mg/l.
En annen hensikt med oppfinnelsen er å tilveiebringe fremgangsmåte som er selektiv mot konkurrerende metaller så som et metall eller ikke-metallkation som er istand til å være trivalent i det påtenkte medium så som jern (III) eller arsenikk-kationer. Another purpose of the invention is to provide a method which is selective against competing metals such as a metal or non-metal cation which is capable of being trivalent in the intended medium such as iron (III) or arsenic cations.
En annen hensikt med foreliggende oppfinnelse er å tilveiebringe en galliumanriket oppløsning som muliggjør en lett gjenvinning av gallium, eks. ved elektrolyse i et basisk medium. Disse hensikter og ytterligere som vil bli åpenbart senere oppnås ved en fremgangsmåte ved gjenvinning av metallene indium, germanium og gallium fra en sur oppløsning av disse metaller og er særpreget ved at den omfatter de følgende trinn: a) bringe oppløsningen i kontakt med en ionebyttefase innholdende minst en fosfongruppe, og b) eluere metallene bundet til ionebyttefasen. Fosfongruppen er fortrinnsvis en difosfonsyregruppe eller en Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a gallium-enriched solution which enables an easy recovery of gallium, e.g. by electrolysis in a basic medium. These purposes and further ones that will become apparent later are achieved by a method of recovering the metals indium, germanium and gallium from an acidic solution of these metals and is characterized by the fact that it includes the following steps: a) bringing the solution into contact with an ion exchange phase containing at least one phosphonic group, and b) elute the metals bound to the ion exchange phase. The phosphonic group is preferably a diphosphonic acid group or a
aminofosfonsyregruppe. Gruppene som gir de beste resultater er metylendifosfonsyre, aminometylen-difosfonsyre og fortrinnsvis hydroksy-difosfonsyregrupper. Kontaktfasen kan enten være en væske-væske fase hvori de lipid-oppløslige forbindelser beskrevet i en europeisk patentsøknad nr. aminophosphonic acid group. The groups which give the best results are methylene diphosphonic acid, amino methylene diphosphonic acid and preferably hydroxy diphosphonic acid groups. The contact phase can either be a liquid-liquid phase in which the lipid-soluble compounds described in a European patent application no.
81,400,633 er oppløst eller en stasjonær fase Innholdende aktive grupper. Hydroksy-difosfonsyreharpiksene beskrevet i den ovenfornevnte patentsøknad og aminodifosfonsyre-harpiksen så som solgt under handelsnavnet "E5 467 DIOLITE" kan spesielt nevnes. Denne kan også være stasjonær fase impreg-nert med hydrofobe molekyler innholdende disse aktive grupper. Oppløsningen innholdende de ovenfor angitte metaller bør fortrinnsvis ha en surhet mellom en pH er lik 5 og en hydrogenione-konsentrasjon tilsvarende en surhet på størrelsesorden 5 N. Et surhetsområde på IO-<2>og 2 N er spesielt foretrukket. 81,400,633 is dissolved or a stationary phase Containing active groups. The hydroxydiphosphonic acid resins described in the above-mentioned patent application and the aminodiphosphonic acid resin as sold under the trade name "E5 467 DIOLITE" may be particularly mentioned. This can also be a stationary phase impregnated with hydrophobic molecules containing these active groups. The solution containing the above mentioned metals should preferably have an acidity between a pH equal to 5 and a hydrogen ion concentration corresponding to an acidity of the order of magnitude 5 N. An acidity range of 10-<2> and 2 N is particularly preferred.
Anionene I oppløsningen er fortrinnsvis anioner av en sterk syre. Imidlertid er fremgangsmåten spesielt nyttig for syrer hvis anioner er ikke-kompleksdannende eller har lav kompleksdannende evne, så som salpetersyre, perklorsyre og svovelsyre. The anions in the solution are preferably anions of a strong acid. However, the method is particularly useful for acids whose anions are non-complexing or have low complexing ability, such as nitric acid, perchloric acid and sulfuric acid.
Undersøkelser som har ført til foreliggende oppfinnelse har vist at fosfonsyreharpikser er meget selektive mot forskjellige forurensninger som er tilstede i oppløsninger som stammer fra utvinning av sink under anvendelse av svovel-syreprosessen, og spesielt i oppløsninger som stammer fra kupolovnoksyder og de som stammer fra prosessen betegnet som "varm, sterk utlutning". Investigations which have led to the present invention have shown that phosphonic acid resins are highly selective against various contaminants present in solutions originating from the extraction of zinc using the sulfuric acid process, and particularly in solutions originating from cupola furnace oxides and those originating from the process designated as "hot, strong leaching".
Imidlertid må konsentrasjonsnivået for visse urenheter holdes innen visse grenser for å forøke innholdet i den org-aniske fase. Blandt disse kationer kan jern (III) og arsen (III) nevnes. However, the concentration level of certain impurities must be kept within certain limits in order to increase the content of the organic phase. Among these cations, iron (III) and arsenic (III) can be mentioned.
Konsentrasjonen av jern (III) må fortrinnsvis holdes under 1 g/l og fortrinnsvis under 500 mg/l. Ekstraksjonen av jern (III) kan utføres ved reduksjon, spesielt ved hjelp av sinkblend, svoveldioksyd og dets derivater og et hvilket som helst reduseringsmiddel som har et passende redokspotensial i den aktuelle oppløsning. The concentration of iron (III) must preferably be kept below 1 g/l and preferably below 500 mg/l. The extraction of iron (III) can be carried out by reduction, in particular by means of zinc blende, sulfur dioxide and its derivatives and any reducing agent having a suitable redox potential in the solution in question.
Med hensyn til arsen bør den maksimale konsentrasjon av det tilstedeværende arsen (III) ioner fortrinnsvis være mindre enn 3 g/l og mere fordelaktig mindre enn 1 g/l. With respect to arsenic, the maximum concentration of the arsenic (III) ions present should preferably be less than 3 g/l and more advantageously less than 1 g/l.
Arsen (III) kan fjernes ved oksydasjon til arsen (V). Arsen kan også fjernes ved i for seg kjente metoder. Arsenic (III) can be removed by oxidation to arsenic (V). Arsenic can also be removed by methods known per se.
Det kan sees at for å fjerne disse to interfererende elementer må to motsatte forholdsregler taes: reduksjon for den ene og oksydasjon for den andre. En løsning ligger i en total oksydasjon av arsen (III) til arsen (V). Denne oksydasjon muliggjør at jern kan utfelles i form av jernarsenat så snart pH for utfelling av denne forbindelse nåes. I et andre trinn kan gjenværende jern reduseres til jern (II). Oksydasjons/reduksjons reaksjonene av arsen er tilstrekkelig langsom til at nyomdannelse av arsen (V) til arsen (III) ikke er noe vesentlig problem. It can be seen that to remove these two interfering elements two opposite precautions must be taken: reduction for one and oxidation for the other. A solution lies in a total oxidation of arsenic (III) to arsenic (V). This oxidation enables iron to be precipitated in the form of iron arsenate as soon as the pH for precipitation of this compound is reached. In a second step, the remaining iron can be reduced to iron (II). The oxidation/reduction reactions of arsenic are sufficiently slow that re-formation of arsenic (V) to arsenic (III) is not a significant problem.
Konsentrasjonen av sink kan være meget høy og kan nå oppløs-lighetsgrensen for dets salt. Imidlertid vil tilstedeværelse av denne forbindelse forhindre at pH forøkes forbi en verdi på 1,5-2, ved hvilken verdi utfelling begynner å finne sted. Selektiviteten med hensyn til sink er ganske bemerkelses-verdig. The concentration of zinc can be very high and can reach the solubility limit for its salt. However, the presence of this compound will prevent the pH from increasing beyond a value of 1.5-2, at which value precipitation begins to take place. The selectivity with respect to zinc is quite remarkable.
For tilfelle av indium kan elueringen utføres under anvendelse av en sterk syre så som saltsyre eller svovelsyre. Imidlertid må høye konsentrasjoner, større enn 5 N nåes for å oppnå en god eluering eller et alkalimetall- , jordalkalimetall- eller amoniumsaltoppløsning må anvendes. In the case of indium, the elution can be carried out using a strong acid such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. However, high concentrations greater than 5 N must be reached to obtain a good elution or an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal or ammonium salt solution must be used.
Elueringen av germanium må utføres ved basiske pH-nivåer større enn 5. Imidlertid må oppløsligheten av germanium i mediet taes i betraktning. Sluttligen kan gallium elueres under anvendelse av en sterk basisk soppoppløsning som muliggjør at gallium går over i galliatformen. Natriumhyd-roksydoppløsninger med den pH 13- 15,3 er tilfredsstillende. 1-5 N natriumhydroksyd eller kaliumhydroksydoppløsninger kan spesielt anvendes. Elueringen er tilstrekkelig kraftig, slik at etter en eventuell resirkulering er det mulig å oppnå galliumkonsentrasjoner større enn 1 g/l som er en konsentrasjon som tillater en tilfredstillende elektrolyse av gallium. The elution of germanium must be carried out at basic pH levels greater than 5. However, the solubility of germanium in the medium must be taken into account. Finally, the gallium can be eluted using a strong basic mushroom solution which enables the gallium to transition into the galliate form. Sodium hydroxide solutions with a pH of 13-15.3 are satisfactory. 1-5 N sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide solutions can especially be used. The elution is sufficiently powerful, so that after any recycling it is possible to achieve gallium concentrations greater than 1 g/l, which is a concentration that allows a satisfactory electrolysis of gallium.
En prosedyre for å implementere oppfinnelsen for å gjenvinne gallium omfatter å utføre de følgende trinn i rekkefølge: den galliuminnholdende oppløsning bringes i kontakt med en ionebyttefase, fortrinnsvis en hydroksyd-difosfonsyrehar-piks, ionebyttefasen vaskes to ganger, først med fortynnet svovelsyre og deretter med vann, elueringen utføres under anvendelse av en 2 N natriumhydroksyd-oppløsning og ionebyttefasen bringes tilbake til sur form ved tilsetting av en fortynnet sur oppløsning, eks. svovelsyre og fasen er på ny "klar for å bli underkastet en ny gallium-utvinningssyklus. A procedure for implementing the invention to recover gallium comprises performing the following steps in sequence: the gallium-containing solution is brought into contact with an ion exchange phase, preferably a hydroxide-diphosphonic acid resin, the ion exchange phase is washed twice, first with dilute sulfuric acid and then with water , the elution is carried out using a 2 N sodium hydroxide solution and the ion exchange phase is returned to acidic form by the addition of a dilute acidic solution, e.g. sulfuric acid and the phase is again "ready to be subjected to a new gallium extraction cycle.
Anvendelse av fosfonsyreharpikser i henhold til foreliggende fremgangsmåte er også attraktiv for utvinning av gallium fra forskjellige kilder i den grad gallium og/eller indium og germanium foreligger i en sur oppløsning, fortrinnsvis av en syre hvis anioner er ikke-kompleksdannende, slik som beskrevet ovenfor. Slike oppløsninger erholdes ved rensning av galliumekstrakt fra natriumaluminat-oppløsninger (Bayer-væsker) og motstrømsekstrahert med en relativt fortynnet saltsyreoppløsning, med en svovelsyreoppløsning eller en blanding av disse to. I det tilfelle hvor bindingsgraden for gallium er høy, spesielt når konsentrasjonen av klorid-ioner ikke er meget høy (konsentrasjoner mindre enn 3 N, fortrinnsvis mindre enn 1 N og mest foretrukket mindre enn 0,1 N). Slike oppløsninger kan også oppstå når forskjellige galliuminnholdende forbindelser, så som galliuminnholdende III-V-forbindeIser (AsGa, GaP og lignende) eller forbindelser av garnett (gadolinium-galliumgarné eller GGG) bringes i oppløsning. Det bør bemerkes at under denne utløsning, som kan utføres på i for seg kjent måte, kan andre metaller, spesielt indium, germanium og gadolinium også utløses. Use of phosphonic acid resins according to the present method is also attractive for extracting gallium from various sources to the extent that gallium and/or indium and germanium are present in an acidic solution, preferably of an acid whose anions are non-complex-forming, as described above. Such solutions are obtained by purifying gallium extract from sodium aluminate solutions (Bayer liquids) and countercurrently extracted with a relatively dilute hydrochloric acid solution, with a sulfuric acid solution or a mixture of these two. In the case where the binding degree of gallium is high, especially when the concentration of chloride ions is not very high (concentrations less than 3 N, preferably less than 1 N and most preferably less than 0.1 N). Such solutions can also occur when various gallium-containing compounds, such as gallium-containing III-V compounds (AsGa, GaP and the like) or compounds of garnet (gadolinium-gallium garnet or GGG) are dissolved. It should be noted that during this triggering, which can be carried out in a manner known per se, other metals, especially indium, germanium and gadolinium can also be triggered.
Foreliggende fremgangsmåte muliggjør at gallium kan separe-res med gadolinium, spesielt ved eluering med en base, i hvilket tilfelle gallium lett danner anioner og oppløses i det basiske medium mens gadolinium danner disse former i meget mindre grad. The present method makes it possible for gallium to be separated from gadolinium, especially by elution with a base, in which case gallium easily forms anions and dissolves in the basic medium, while gadolinium forms these forms to a much lesser extent.
Når disse tre metaller (indium, germanium og gallium) er bundet er det mulig å elluere gallium og germanium sellek-tivt fra indium når dette forblir uoppløst på harpiksen i et basiskt medium, men kan elueres med konsentrert (større enn 2 N, fordelaktig større enn 5 N og mere fordelaktig i nærheten av 8 N) saltsyre. Saltsyren kan delvis erstattes med en blanding av sterke uorganiske syrer (HC1, H2CO4og lignende) og kloridionene kan føres i form av alkalimetall-, jordalkalimetall- eller tilsvarende salter (med ekvivalente salter menes sterkt disossierte klorider), forutsatt at konsentrasjonen av kloridionenene tilfredstiller begrensingen som representeres av saltsyren som angitt ovenfor og at sur-heten av elueringsmiddelet er minst lik 1 N, fortrinnsvis When these three metals (indium, germanium and gallium) are bound, it is possible to elute gallium and germanium cell-selectively from indium when this remains undissolved on the resin in a basic medium, but can be eluted with concentrated (greater than 2 N, advantageously greater than 5 N and more advantageously in the vicinity of 8 N) hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloric acid can be partially replaced with a mixture of strong inorganic acids (HC1, H2CO4 and the like) and the chloride ions can be supplied in the form of alkali metal, alkaline earth metal or equivalent salts (by equivalent salts is meant strongly dissociated chlorides), provided that the concentration of the chloride ions satisfies the limitation that is represented by the hydrochloric acid as stated above and that the acidity of the eluent is at least equal to 1 N, preferably
2 N. 2N.
Når gadolinium er tilstede i store mengder kan i for seg kjente teknikker for å felle ut blandete alkalimetallsul-fater av gadolinium anvendes for å senke dens konsentrasjon eller anvende en i for seg kjent utfelling ved anvendelse av oksalsyre eller dets salter. When gadolinium is present in large quantities, per se known techniques for precipitating mixed alkali metal sulphates of gadolinium can be used to lower its concentration or use a per se known precipitation using oxalic acid or its salts.
De etterfølgende eksempler tjener til å illustrere oppfinnelsen og er påtenkt for at fagmannen skal kunne bestemme arbeidsbetingelsene som er passende for anvendelse i hvert spesielt tilfelle. The following examples serve to illustrate the invention and are intended to enable the person skilled in the art to determine the working conditions that are suitable for use in each particular case.

Sammenlignende undersøkelser av binding av gallium innholdt i en industriell sinksulfatoppløsning, til forskjellige harpikser . Comparative investigations of the binding of gallium contained in an industrial zinc sulphate solution to different resins.
De undersøkte harpikser var:The investigated resins were:
En metylenhydroksydifosfonsyre-harpiks, i det etterfølgende betegnet HDP, A methylene hydroxide diphosphonic acid resin, hereinafter referred to as HDP,
En aminofosfonsyreharpiks solgt av DUOLITE under betegnelsen "ES 467", og An aminophosphonic acid resin sold by DUOLITE under the designation "ES 467", and
En tributylfosfatimpregnert-harpiks fremstilt av Bayer under navnet "OC 1023". A tributyl phosphate impregnated resin manufactured by Bayer under the name "OC 1023".
Sammensetningen av sinksulfatoppløsningen var:The composition of the zinc sulfate solution was:
ln : 100 g/lln: 100 g/l
Ge : 209 mg/lGe: 209 mg/l

Mg 10 g/ lMg 10 g/l
Ca : 0.5 g/l.Approx: 0.5 g/l.
Denne oppløsning ble tilsatt gallium slik at det ble oppnådd en konsentrasjon på 20,6 mg/l. Jern (III) ionene ble redusert under anvendelse av askorbinsyre i en mengde på 1,5 SQ (beregnet som den storkiometriske mengde nødvendig for å omdanne syren til dihydroaskorbinsyre). pH var 0,5. Kontak-ten mellom oppløsningene og de forskjellige harpikser ble utført i en skylletrakt med et harpiks: oppløsning volumforhold på 1:20. Omgivelsestemperatur. Under disse betingelser binder HDP-harpiksen gallium bedre enn de andre, men med lavere selektivitet ovenfor germanium. Resultatende er gitt samlet i den etterfølgende tabell: Gallium was added to this solution so that a concentration of 20.6 mg/l was obtained. The iron (III) ions were reduced using ascorbic acid in an amount of 1.5 SQ (calculated as the stoichiometric amount necessary to convert the acid to dihydroascorbic acid). pH was 0.5. The contact between the solutions and the different resins was carried out in a rinsing funnel with a resin:solution volume ratio of 1:20. Ambient temperature. Under these conditions, the HDP resin binds gallium better than the others, but with lower selectivity over germanium. The results are given together in the following table:
Harpikser med amidooksim-, ammonium- og aminoeddik-aktive grupper gir ingen sinifikante resultater for bindingen. Resins with amidoxime, ammonium and aminoacetic active groups give no significant results for the bond.
Resultatene vedrørende binding av TBP er heller ikke signifikante. The results regarding binding of TBP are not significant either.
Et forsøk ble utført med den samme oppløsning på et harpiks-sikt under anvendelse av et strømningshastighet på 4 bv/timer førte til binding av 1,7 g gallium/l og 1,2 g germanium/l. Når germanium utelates (redusert til en konsentrasjon på 0,6 mg/l) ble en kapasitet på 2 g/l oppnådd. An experiment carried out with the same solution on a resin screen using a flow rate of 4 bv/hr resulted in binding of 1.7 g gallium/l and 1.2 g germanium/l. When germanium is omitted (reduced to a concentration of 0.6 mg/l) a capacity of 2 g/l was achieved.

Eluering av gallium.Elution of gallium.
5 ml galliuminnholdende harpiks ble brakt i kontakt med 50 ml av en elueringsoppløsning I 1 time ved romtempratur. 5 ml of gallium-containing resin was contacted with 50 ml of an elution solution for 1 hour at room temperature.
Type elueringsmiddel og erholdte resultater er gitt samlet i den etterfølgende tabell: Type of eluent and results obtained are given together in the following table:
Eksempel 4. Example 4.
Et svovelsyre surt-eluat som stammet fra utløsning av et oppløsningsmiddel innholdende 8-hydroksykinolln aktive grupper hvor oppløsningsmiddelet var "ladet" ved kontakt me( en industriell Bayer natrium-aluminatoppløsning ble perkol-ert med den hastighet på 15 bv/h Igjennom aminofosfonsyreharpiksen solgt under handelsnavnet "ES 467". A sulfuric acid eluate resulting from dissolution of a solvent containing 8-hydroxyquinol active groups where the solvent was "charged" by contact with an industrial Bayer sodium aluminate solution was percolated at the rate of 15 bv/h through the aminophosphonic acid resin sold under trade name "ES 467".
Dette eluat med den surhet tilsvarende 3 N innholdt gallium (475 mg/l) og aluminium (535 mg/l) som hovedelementer og mindre urenheter som er felles for denne type eluat. This eluate with the acidity corresponding to 3 N contained gallium (475 mg/l) and aluminum (535 mg/l) as main elements and minor impurities common to this type of eluate.
Analyse av oppløsningen som forlot kolonnen ble utført med like intervaller hvorfra det er mulig å beregne mengden av bundet gallium som diferanse. Disse analyser er summarisk angitt i den etterfølgende tabell: Analysis of the solution leaving the column was carried out at equal intervals from which it is possible to calculate the amount of bound gallium as a difference. These analyzes are summarized in the following table:
Disse resultater viser en høy grad av selektivitet for gallium i forhold til aluminium fordi alluminium bindes kun i de initiale trinn av syklusen og når meget raskt et metningspunkt. Ytterligere er det trolig at aluminum i det minste delvis frigjøres ved fortrengning til fordel for gallium, selv om man ikke kan trekke konklusjonen fra analysen. These results show a high degree of selectivity for gallium in relation to aluminum because aluminum is bound only in the initial stages of the cycle and very quickly reaches a saturation point. Furthermore, it is likely that aluminum is at least partially released by displacement in favor of gallium, although one cannot draw the conclusion from the analysis.
Eksempel 5.Example 5.

Synthetic solutions of gallium and gadolinium in various aqueous media were prepared and contacted with the aminophosphonic acid resin sold under the trade name "ES 467" in separatory funnels with stirring.
Binding som funksjon av tiden og resultatene av forsøkene er summarisk angitt i den etterfølgende tabell: Binding as a function of time and the results of the experiments are summarized in the following table:
Resultatende viser at binding av gallium og gadolinium er relativt nær hverandre i hvert medium. Disse relativt høye The results show that binding of gallium and gadolinium is relatively close to each other in each medium. These relatively high
bindinger tiltross for den sterke surhet i det 8 N saltsyre-medium synes å være relatert til binding av anion til amino-posisjonen i aminofosfonsyreharpiksen, spesielt for tilfelle av gallium. bonds despite the strong acidity of the 8 N hydrochloric acid medium appear to be related to binding of the anion to the amino position of the aminophosphonic acid resin, especially in the case of gallium.
