A new process for the extraction and recovery of tungsten from APT crystal mother liquor in N235/isooctanol system was proposed and studied.The effects of organic phase composition,feed pH,temperature and other factors on tungsten extraction were studied.The extraction and stripping isotherms were drawn.And the test of simulated multi-stage countercurrent extraction was conducted.The results show that high-fold enrichment and recovery of tungsten and efficient separation of SO42-and Cl-from the ammonium paratungstate crystal mother liquor can be achieved in the solvent extraction system of N235/isooctanol.When the acidified feed liquid with WO3content of 22.1g/L and pH value of 3.5is subjected to4-stage countercurrent extraction,1-stage washing and 2-stage stripping,and the organic phase consisting of 10%N235,20%isooctanol and sulfonated kerosene is used,the results are obtained as follows:WO3content in the raffinate is less than 0.02g/L,WO3recovery rate is higher than 99.5%,WO3content in the stripping solution is higher than 230g/L,and the removal rate of SO42-or Cl-is greater than 98.5%.
