Recovery of Tuballoy From Solutions Containing Fluoride Ion (open access)

Recovery of Tuballoy From Solutions Containing Fluoride Ion

"Another extraction method is described herein for the quantitative recovery of tuballoy from solutions containing high concentrations of fluoride ion. The method consists of the addition of aluminum nitrate to the solution in order to complex the fluoride ion, followed by saturation with calcium nitrate and extraction of the tuballoy with dibutyl carbitol.
