  • Separation of zirconium and hafnium by extraction with 2-octanol 
    Kabangu Mpinga, John; Lubbe, S.J. (Salomon); Crouse, Philippus L. (The Italian Association of Chemical Engineering, 2019-01)
    Zirconium and hafnium are shown to be separable using 2-octanol (C8H18O) as an extractant. Zirconium basic carbonate was dissolved using hydrochloric acids at concentrations ranging from 5 % to 20 %. Potassium fluoride ...
  • Solvent extraction of Zirconium and hafnium with 1 and 2-octanol: a comparative study 
    Kabangu Mpinga, John; Lubbe, Simon J.; Crouse, Philippus L. (The Italian Association of Chemical Engineering, 2019)
    Comparative solvent extraction studies of Zr and Hf were carried out from acidic chloride and potassium fluoride solutions with 1 or 2-octanol as extractants. The extraction process was experimentally investigated as a ...
