Highly selective extractant for cobalt(II) over nickel(II) in acidic chloride and sulfate leach solutions.
Excellent phase separation kinetics and low aqueous solubility, minimizing reagent loss and emulsion formation.
Thermally stable and chemically robust under aggressive hydrometallurgical conditions (pH 1–4, up to 60 °C).
Compatible with standard industrial solvent extraction equipment and common diluents (e.g., kerosene, Shellsol® D70).
Low volatility and non-corrosive to carbon steel and stainless-steel infrastructure.
Cobalt recovery and purification from mixed Ni–Co laterite and sulfide ore leachates.
Primary cobalt separation in battery metal recycling processes (e.g., spent Li-ion cathode leach solutions).
Refining of cobalt electrolytes prior to electrowinning to meet high-purity specifications (>99.99% Co).
Removal of cobalt impurities from nickel sulfate solutions in nickel-cobalt co-production circuits.
Selective cobalt stripping in multi-stage SX circuits using controlled pH or complexant media.
