UC272 Extractant

UC272 extractant belongs to acidic extractants in the category of organophosphorus extractants, with similar extractants including P204 and P507. Among them, P204 is widely used for extracting elements such as zinc, iron, and manganese, mainly in the early stage of impurity removal in the smelting process of ternary precursor materials. P507 is mostly used for the extraction and separation of nickel and cobalt as well as the smelting of rare earth elements. It is the most important acidic extractant and currently the primary extractant in the industrial enrichment and separation of battery-grade cobalt sulfate and light rare earth elements. UC272, as an upgraded product of P507, has a nickel-cobalt separation factor (7000) far higher than P507 (280) and P204 (14). It is widely used in the production of battery-grade nickel sulfate and battery-grade manganese sulfate and is a commonly used extractant in the production process of ternary battery materials. Additionally, compared to P204 and P507, UC272 has lower extraction acidity, is easy to strip, and has good selectivity for rare earths (especially heavy rare earths). It has evolved from being used for nickel-cobalt separation to the extraction and separation of rare earths, thereby promoting the rapid development of the rare earth industry.

Non-Calcium Extraction Characteristics

When cobalt and calcium coexist in the feed solution, AquaXtract 272 extracts cobalt first then calcium, which avoids gypsum scaling in sulfate extraction systems, reduces emulsification, and thus decreases extractant loss; whereas in the same system, using P 204 and P 507 as extractants extracts calcium first then cobalt, resulting in poor cobalt-calcium separation and scaling during stripping.

UC272 Extractant

UC272 is an acidic organophosphorus extractant; other members of this class include P204 and P507. P204 is widely used for the extraction of zinc, iron, manganese, and other elements, primarily in the early stages of smelting ternary precursor materials to remove impurities. P507 is mainly employed for the extraction and separation of nickel and cobalt as well as for the smelting of rare-earth elements; it is the most important acidic extractant and currently serves as the primary extractant in the industrial production of battery-grade cobalt sulfate and the enrichment and separation of light rare-earth elements. As an upgraded version of P507, UC272 boasts a nickel–cobalt separation factor of 7,000, significantly higher than that of P507 (280) and P204 (14). It is extensively used in the production of battery-grade nickel sulfate and battery-grade manganese sulfate and is a widely adopted extractant in the manufacturing of ternary battery materials. Moreover, compared with P204 and P507, UC272 requires a lower extraction acidity, is easier to back-extract, and exhibits excellent selectivity toward rare earths—particularly heavy rare earths. Consequently, its application has expanded from nickel–cobalt separation to the extraction and separation of rare earths, thereby driving rapid development in the rare-earth industry.
