Nowadays, extraction and recovery of metals from industrial wastewater has become a major concern owing to the toxicity of heavy metals and economic value of precious metals such as gold, palladium and silver. In this research, the extraction of palladium from simulated aqueous solution using liquid-liquid extraction was studied. The organic phase containing bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) monothiophosphinic acid (Cyanex 302) as a carrier was used. Several parameters such as concentration of carrier, type of diluents and stripping agent type and its concentration were investigated. The results showed that at the favourable condition of 0.1 mM Cyanex 302 in kerosene as a diluent, and 2.0 M of thiourea in 1.0 M sulphuric acid as a stripping agent, almost 100% of palladium was extracted from the liquid waste solution and 90% was recovered in the receiving phase.

A study has been carried out on Ta and Nb recovery by a liquid-liquid extraction process using 4-methylacetophenone (4-MAcPh) as the organic phase. The 4-MAcPh was compared to methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) with respect to extraction efficiencies (D values) at different concentrations of H2SO4 in the aqueous phase. The results showed a similar extraction of Nb for both solvents. However, for Ta, extraction efficiency is increased by a factor of 1.3 for 4-MAcPh. In addition, the MIBK solubilized completely after 6 mol∙L−1 of H2SO4 against only a loss of 0.14–4% for 4-MAcPh between 6 and 9 mol∙L−1 of H2SO4. The potential of 4-MAcPh has also been studied to selectively recover Ta from a model capacitor waste solution. The results showed a selectivity for Ta in the presence of impurities such as Ag, Fe, Ni and Mn. The 4-MAcPh also presents the advantage of having physicochemical properties adapted to its use in liquid-liquid extraction technologies such as mixer-settlers.

Liquid semiconductor waste has become a serious problem to the environment due to the toxicity of heavy metals in the wastewater. However the monetary value of precious metals such as gold, silver and palladium has become a great concern nowadays. Therefore this study is investigating the recovery of palladium by emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) process using di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) as a carrier. The important parameters affecting the extraction of palladium such as concentrations of carrier and stripping agents, extraction time and treat ratio were investigate. This experiment was conducted using a mixer-settler in a batch system. The results showed that more than 90% of palladium was extracted using 0.05M D2EHPA, 0.1 M H2SO4 as a stripping agent, 5 minutes extraction time, and 1:3 treat ratio. However, the study on emulsion stability showed unstable results due to the leakage and swelling occurrence during the extraction process. As a conclusion, the research shows that ELM has the potential to extract palladium from simulated waste solution using D2EHPA as a mobile carrier.
