The stripping of zinc(II) from undiluted and 80 v/v% TBP in low aromatic kerosene by means of ammonia/ammonium chloride solution has been studied. It was found that the equilibrium in the system was reached within 2 -3 min of vigorous shaking of aqueous and organic phases. The stripping isotherms for zinc, when using undiluted or 80% TBP and 10% or 1.8% hydrochloric acid in the extraction feed, have been obtained. The pregnant strip solutions contained nearly 53 and 63 g/L zinc for both concentrations of the extractant and for 10% or 1.8% HCl levels in the extraction feed, respectively. The strip solution ORDER REPRINTS can be further processed for recovery of the metal by electrowinning from NH 3 /NH 4 Cl media. The experimental results were modeled. Values of conditioned equilibrium stripping constants in an NH 3 /NH 4 Cl solution for the HZnCl 3 and ZnCl 2 species as high as K S1 ¼ 2.0 Â 10 7 M 25 and K S2 ¼ 2.0-2.3 Â 10 3 M 23 , respectively, have been evaluated. The simulation revealed the shares of various zinc ammine and chloride complexes: in the final strip, the metal is present mainly as Zn(NH 3 ) 4 2þ and Zn(NH 3 ) 3 2þ complexes, the share of all chloride complexes being not higher than 7% of all zinc species. Results for ammonia and water co-extraction by TBP are also presented and some aspects of the observed phenomenon are discussed.
