Abstract
The paper is devoted to solvent extraction of rare earth metals exemplified by Сe, Y from standard test and industrial solutions of wet-process phosphoric acid with di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid used as extractant. The mechanism of rare earth metals extraction with di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid was determined and studied on the basis of calculated thermodynamic characteristics. The paper considers the influence of impurity ions (Fe3+, Mg2+, ) on extraction of rare earth metals using industrial solutions. It has also been determined that for a stripping process the use of sulfuric acid solutions in concentration of 2 mol/l is the most preferable.
