Highly selective extraction of cobalt(II) over nickel(II) in acidic sulfate and chloride leach solutions.
Excellent chemical and thermal stability under aggressive hydrometallurgical conditions.
Low aqueous solubility and minimal third-phase formation, enabling robust phase separation.
Compatible with standard industrial diluents (e.g., kerosene, Shellsol® D series) and common modifiers.
Proven performance in continuous counter-current solvent extraction circuits at commercial scale.
Cobalt–nickel separation in laterite and mixed sulfide ore processing.
Purification of cobalt electrolyte prior to electrowinning in battery-grade metal production.
Recovery and refining of cobalt from spent lithium-ion battery black mass leachates.
Selective cobalt removal from zinc refinery purification streams.
