Extraction of ions of rare earth elements with monocarboxylic acids from sulfate media

Abstract

The extraction of rare earth ions with aliphatic monocarboxylic acids from sulfate solutions and suspensions was studied. The region of disperse interfacial structures, stabilizing the emulsion, was found. Extractable complexes of rare earth carboxylates were determined. The conditions of the extraction conversion of rare earth sulfate salts with monocarboxylic acids were determined.
