Solvent extraction technique was performed to optimize the conditions for maximum removal of iron (III) from the simulated bauxite hydrochloric acid leaching liquor of FeCl3+AlCl3+CaCl2+HCl. Some factors influencing the extraction, such as the extractant and concentration of Fe, Al, and Ca were investigated. The results indicated that the N235 is an effective extractant for selective extraction of iron (III) from chloride liquor. The concentration of Fe in raffinate is under 0.0165 gL-1 and the losing of Al is 0.50 % by N235.
