This paper gives ion exchange and influence of different types of resins for separating existing yttrium in acid leaching solution of Saghand Mine in Yazd, Iran. Firstly, after doing XRF and ICP experiments on the sample, the resultant solution was assigned out of acid leaching of the region in contact with 0.5 mL resin (based on mass percentage) from different types of anion and cation resins. In each experiment 50 mL of the sample containing 500 ppm yttrium in a column was brought into contact with different types of prevalent resins. The resins were then brought into contact for 15 minutes to different types of elusion solutions. After the analysis the resin Dow × 5ow × 8 (H+) was selected as the optimum resin in exposure to 1 mol/L sodium acetate as the elusion solution with retrieving 93% yttrium.

Abstract


This paper gives ion exchange and influence of different types of resins for separating existing yttrium in acid leaching solution of Saghand Mine in Yazd, Iran. Firstly, after doing XRF and ICP experiments on the sample, the resultant solution was assigned out of acid leaching of the region in contact with 0.5 mL resin (based on mass percentage) from different types of anion and cation resins. In each experiment 50 mL of the sample containing 500 ppm yttrium in a column was brought into contact with different types of prevalent resins. The resins were then brought into contact for 15 minutes to different types of elusion solutions. After the analysis the resin Dow × 5ow × 8 (H+) was selected as the optimum resin in exposure to 1 mol/L sodium acetate as the elusion solution with retrieving 93% yttrium.
