“…The phosphine sulfide, Cyanex 471-X, has been proposed as an alternative to the aforementioned reagents for Pd separation; the process is similar to that of alkyl sulfides (Rydberg, 2004). The conventional solvent extraction reagents for PGM recovery are not very effective and mutual separations are not complete (Fujii et al, 2001;Levitin and Schmuckler, 2003;Ueda et al, 2014). Narita et al (2008a) studied the durability of thiodiglycolamide and di-n-hexyl sulfide for Pd(II) separation in a mixed solution of HNO 3 and HCl.…”
