BACKGROUND: In this work, the solid-liquid extraction of terbium from phosphoric acid solutions using solvent-impregnated resin containing TOPS 99, an equivalent of di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid, has been investigated. The parameters studied include equilibration time, acid concentration, amount of resin, metal concentration, kinetics, temperature, loading, elution, regeneration and recycling.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
