“…Most of these studies, however, examine the extraction of iron when its concentration in solution is not very high, which will be the condition if pure iron oxide is produced in bulk through solvent extraction techniques. Several solvents such as organophosphorus acid derivatives, [3,7,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] carboxylic acids, [8,11,[23][24][25] amines, [4,6] etc. have been used for iron extraction.…”
