It was found that the extraction capacity of DEPHA forgallium from sulfate solution could be enhanced significantly due tothe synergistic effect of acidic extractant HX. Gallium extraction isnegligible below pH 0 and highly sensitive to pH of aqueous phase inthe range from 0 to 1, and satisfactory extraction can be gained atpH＞1. More than 96/100 Ga Extraction was obtained using 15/100 DEHPAplus 2/100 HX.展开更多
