A Review on the Separation of Niobium and Tantalum by Solvent Extraction

Niobium and tantalum are found together in natural minerals. Leaching with concentrated acid solution or alkaline roasting followed by water/dilute acid leaching results in a solution containing these two metals. In this work, we reviewed the extraction and separation of Nb(V) and Ta(V) from leach liquors in the absence and presence of hydrofluoric acid by acidic, neutral extractants and amines. Several solvent extraction systems were compared in the light of the requirement of hazardous chemicals, extraction/separation efficiency, and stability/solubility of extractants. Since the cationic species of Nb(V) and Ta(V) are unstable in the aqueous solution, the application of acidic extractants for extraction and separation of these metals is limited. Amines can extract Nb(V) as well as Ta(V) irrespective of the presence of fluoride ion but the separation of these metals from the loaded amines should be carried out in stripping process, resulting in process complexity. Another disadvantage encountered for amine is related to high viscosity in extraction process. Neutral extractants are considered as promising extractants which are effective to separate Ta(V) and Nb(V) from either non-fluoride or to moderate fluoride ion concentration in terms of extraction, separation and stripping efficiency. Compared to the traditional methyl iso-butyl ketone (MIBK) based system, methyl isoamyl ketone (MIAK) is found to be a promising extractant to separate Nb(V) and Ta(V).

Mineralization of Para-Chlorobenzoic Acid in Water by Cobalt-Incorporated MCM-41 Catalyzed Ozonation

Cobalt-incorporated MCM-41(Co-MCM-41) was used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the ozonation of para-chlorobenzoic acid (p-CBA) in aqueous solution. Cobalt oxide supported on MCM-41(Co/MCM-41) was synthesized for comparison. Their textural properties were elucidated by various characterization techniques to understand the relationship between surface texture and catalytic activity. TOC removal at 60 min reached 91% with Co-MCM-41, 83% with Co/MCM-41 and only 52% with ozone alone, respectively. Observations from diffuse reflection spectroscopy demonstrated that different metal phases were formed in these cobalt-modified molecular sieves samples. Radical scavenger experiments indicated the formation of hydroxyl radicals that were responsible for the effective degradation of p-CBA. An integrated approach to the catalytic mechanism was proposed by considering the variation of pH in the course of ozonation as well as its subsequent influence on the dissociation of targeted compounds and surface charge of the catalyst. In the reusability experiments, the reused Co-MCM-41 was able to regain the same catalytic capability as the fresh one within 5 cycles. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results indicated that a part of Co²⁺ was oxidized to Co³⁺ after oxidation reaction.     

Preparation and characterization of fully waste-based glass-ceramics from incineration fly ash,waste glass and coal fly ash

Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash (FA) is a typical hazardous waste due to its high contents of toxic heavy metals, and hence its disposal has attracted global concern. In this work, it was recycled into environmental-friendly CaO–Al₂O₃–SiO₂ system glass-ceramics via adding coal fly ash (CFA) and waste glass (WG). The effects of CaO/SiO₂ ratios and sintering temperatures on the crystalline phases, morphologies, mechanical and chemical properties, heavy metals leaching and potential ecological risks of glass-ceramics were investigated. The results showed that wollastonite (CaSiO₃), anorthite (CaAl₂Si₂O₈) and gehlenite (Ca₂Al₂SiO₇) were the dominant crystals in the glass-ceramics, which were not affected by CaO/SiO₂ ratio and sintering temperature. The compressive strength increased, while the Vickers hardness and microhardness decreased as increasing the sintering temperatures from 850 to 1050 °C, which reached their maximum values of 660.69 MPa, 6.14 GPa, and 7.43 GPa, respectively. However, the increase of CaO/SiO₂ ratio resulted into the reduction of the three mechanical parameters. As varying CaO/SiO₂ ratio from 0.48 to 0.86, the maximum compressive strength, Vickers hardness and microhardness were 611.80 MPa, 5.43 GPa, and 6.56 GPa, respectively. Besides, all the glass-ceramics exhibited high alkali resistance of >97%. The extremely low heavy metals leaching concentrations and low potential ecological risk of glass-ceramics further revealed its environmentally friendly property and potential application feasibility.     

Acid reducing leaching of cathodic powder from spent lithium ion batteries: Glucose oxidative pathways and particle area evolution

Co and Li recovery by acid-reducing leaching of lithium ion battery powder was investigated evidencing that glucose efficiency changes depending on leaching procedure. Postponing glucose addition metal extractive yields were higher (88% for Co and 92% for Li) than adding glucose at the beginning (60% for both). Chromatographic analyses evidenced that glucose degradation occurred preferentially via glucaric acid when its addition is postponed, while gluconic via is favored if glucose is added initially. Dynamic evolution of particle area showed particle fragmentation occurring during acid preleaching determining an increase of specific surface area available for further reaction when glucose is added.

Comparison between laboratory and field leachability of MSWI bottom ash as a road material

The leaching properties of bottom ash from municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) used as an aggregate substitute in unbound pavement layers are evaluated. The mechanical behaviour of bottom ash is acceptable for this application, but the potential environmental consequences constitute the most important limitation on the use of bottom ash as a road material. The environmental properties of bottom ash are assessed by means of the Dutch availability test NEN 7341 and the single-batch and two-stage batch European EN 12457 laboratory leaching tests. Furthermore, an experimental unbound pavement stretch is constructed to provide information on leaching behaviour under field conditions. In this high infiltration scenario, the results from predicted (based upon laboratory leaching tests) and measured releases (under field conditions) are compared, evidencing that predictions based on compliance leaching tests may be highly realistic. The depletion period of the extractable fraction of a number of elements in these field conditions is also quantified.     

Cu, Cr and As distribution in soils adjacent to CCA-treated utility poles in Eastern Blacksea Region of Turkey

In this study, the main objective was to asses the distribution of Cu, Cr, and As in soils adjacent to CCA-treated utility poles in Eastern Blacksea Region of Turkey (Trabzon, Rize and Artvin ) and determine the influence of soil composition.

Surface (0–5 cm) and subsurface soil samples (30–40 cm) were collected near CCA-treated utility poles and control soil samples away from CCA-treated utility poles were also collected. Water holding capacity, pH and mechanical properties of soil samples were determined for both depth levels.

Results showed that Cu, Cr and As concentration in soil samples taken from all three cities in 0–5 cm depth was higher than soil samples taken from 30–40 cm depth. Cu, Cr and As concentrations were much higher in soil samples taken from city of Rize     

Characterization and availability of cyanide in solid mine tailings from gold extraction plants

The aim of this study was to investigate the availability and fate of cyanide in gold mill solid tailings. For this purpose, aged (6-9 years) and recently discharged (3 months) tailings were sampled at various depths from two gold mining sites in Quebec (Canada). A physicochemical characterization of the tailings along with a bacterial enumeration was performed and batch-leaching tests with water and caustic solution were conducted to assess the soluble cyanide fraction. Following the standard acid reflux/distillation method, the total cyanide concentration (CN(T)) in fresh tailings was higher (average of 19.5 +/- 2.0 compared to 3.2 +/- 0.7 mg/kg) and the pH more alkaline (10.6 +/- 0.1 compared to 7.6 +/- 0.2) compared to aged ones. In aged tailings, the enumeration of total heterotrophic (10(4)-10(6) cfu/g) and cyanide-resistant bacteria (10(2)-10(5) cfu/g) showed a significant indigenous microflora, but no growth on agar plates was detected in fresh tailings, suggesting an evolution and a gradual acclimatization of bacterial populations with weathering. Elevated concentrations of CN(T), weak acid dissociable cyanide (CN(WAD)), cyanate (CNO-), and thiocyanate (SCN-) were measured in the supernatant solution of the fresh tailings samples collected in-situ, highlighting their reactivity, whereas these species were not detectable in aged tailings. Accordingly, when batch-leaching tests were performed with fresh samples, 68-72% of the total cyanide was released into aqueous solution with more than 20% being CN(WAD). Again, CN(T) and CN(WAD) were not detectable during leaching of aged tailings. In fresh tailings, approximately 50% of the cyanides were quantifiable with the standard acid reflux/distillation method (readily soluble cyanides, and weak to moderately strong complexes), whereas in aged tailings only 15 to 33% of the actual total cyanide content was measured by the standard method. These results stress the necessity of performing a preliminary alkaline extraction prior to total cyanide determination. In summary, this study revealed a difference in physicochemical properties, cyanide concentration and speciation, viable bacterial populations and cyanide leaching behavior between aged and fresh solid mine tailings. The findings indicate that the more reactive cyanide species initially associated with the solid tailings have naturally degraded within the mine tailings impoundment area, resulting primarily from volatilization (decrease in pH), leaching, and bacterial degradation.
