pp. 1-5
Tungsten and molybdenum were extracted from scheelite chemical beneficiation acidic leachate with the organic system of 15 % N235 + 10 %TBP+75 % sulfonated kerosene. The saturated loading capacity for Mo and WO3 of the organic system reaches 90.73 g/L,and the extracted complex ratio between N235 and Mo and WOa is 0. 886. Mo and W are extracted mainly in the form of MoO2Cln(n-2)- and H2WO4 ,respectively, Fe in the form of complex anion and P in the form of H3 PO4. The single stage extraction rates of Mo,WO3,Fe and P are 76.3%,94.8%,99.1% and 7.5% ,respectively. The loaded organic phase was eluted using dilute HC1 solution (pH=2). The removal rates of Fe and P reach 99.6% and 77% ,respectively. The single stage stripping rates of Mo and WOa are 88.35% and 66.52% ,respectively by using 2 mol/L NaOH solution.
