“…Solvent extraction with organic compounds (extractants) is the most promising method for the recovery of metals from industrial waste compared to other methods due to high productivity, economic feasibility, high speed, and simple process design [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. Organophosphorus extractants are becoming increasingly important in hydrometallurgical processes [ 22 ] due to their high selectivity, good solubility of both extractants and their metal complexes in nonpolar solvents, high degree of stripping, chemical stability, acid resistance, and low cost.…”
