Abstract

The sorption of Fe(III), Al(III) and Pt(IV) from the individual and mixed chloride solution was investigated by using PC88A resin. With the increase of HCl concentration to 5 M, the distribution coefficient of Fe decreased slowly, while that of Al decreased rapidly and the distribution coefficient of Pt was nearly zero in our experimental range. Batch experiments showed that it was possible to extract both Fe and Al simultaneously by adjusting HCl and PC88A resin concentrations. However, continuous extraction chromatographic experiments indicated that simultaneous sorption of Al as well as Fe was difficult in our experimental range. Two extraction chromatographic steps would extract most of Fe and 90% of Al from the mixed solution, while Pt was not extracted. Extraction chromatography of the mixed chloride solution with PC88A resin was found to be fast and simple.
