The results show that the amount of aluminum can be decreased from 728 to 14 mg·L -1 that is the 98% of total in the solution of praseodymium-neodymium chloride by one-stage extraction under the condition as follows: the concentration of rare earth is 100～200 g·L -1, the organic phase is 20% fatty acid -10% isooctanol -70% kerosene (V/V), saponification number is 20% with dense ammonia, and the extracting equilibrium time is 5～15 min. Under the same conditions, the extraction ratio of aluminum in the system of fatty acid is 3～5 times of that in naphthene acid. The fatty acid extractant is distinctly better than naphthene acid.展开更多
