Leaching and solvent extraction purifiion of zinc from ...
· Aqueous solution containing zinc, iron, and manganese for the solvent extraction process was obtained from leaching experiments. The organic phase was prepared by dissolving determined amounts of D2EHPA as extractant in kerosene as diluent. The effect of initial pH (2,, 3), vol/vol percent of extractant to diluent (10%, 20%, 30%), aqueous solution to organic (A:O) phase ratio (, .
