Abstract
Permanent magnets (PMs) containing rare earth elements (REEs) can generate energy in a sustainable manner. With an anticipated tenfold increase in REEs demand by 2050, one of the crucial strategies to meet the demand is developing of efficient recycling methods. NdFeB PMs are the most widely employed, however, the similar chemical properties of Nd (20-30 % wt.) and Dy (0-10 % wt.) make their recycling challenging, but possible using appropriate ligands. In this work, we investigated commercially available 8-hydroxyquinolines (HQs) as potential Fe/Nd/Dy complexing agents enabling metal separation by selective precipitation playing on specific structure/property (solubility) relationship. Specifically, test ethanolic solutions of nitrate salts, prepared to mimic the main components of a PM leachate, were treated with functionalized HQs. We demonstrated that Fe3+ can be separated as insoluble [Fe(QCl,I)3] from soluble [REE(QCl,I)4]- complexes (QCl,I -: 5-Cl-7-I-8-hydoxyquinolinate). Following that, QCl - (5-Cl-8-hydroxyquinolinate) formed insoluble [Nd3(QCl)9] and soluble (Bu4N)[Dy(QCl)4]. The process ultimately gave a solution phase containing Dy with only traces of Nd. In a preliminary attempt to assess the potentiality of a low environmental impact process, REEs were recovered as oxalates, while the ligands as well as Bu4N+ ions, were regenerated and internally reused, thus contributing to the sustainability of a possible metal recovery process.

Abstract
Understanding chemical speciation and intermolecular interactions in multicomponent liquids is essential to understanding their phase and chemical equilibria, which underpin chemical separation processes, including solvent extraction. Here we report on the extraction of nitric acid from its aqueous solutions into organic solutions of trioctylamine (TOA) in toluene, investigated with spectroscopic, X-ray scattering, and computational tools to understand molecular speciation in the organic phase and its relationship with the nanoscale structure of the organic phase. Trends in acid and water extraction clearly show two and three regimes, respectively, indicating different stoichiometric relationships, but speciation of HNO3, water, and amine in these regimes is not apparent. 1H NMR of the organic phase shows that there are at least two distinct acidic protons in the organic phase while ATR-FTIR results show that the organic phase with excess acid extraction is a mixture of trioctylammonium-nitrate ion pairs (TOAH·NO3), and undissociated HNO3 molecules. Comparison with DFT-computed IR spectra show that the chain-like configurations of TOAH·NO3·HNO3·H2O are favored over TOAH·NO3·H2O·HNO3, i.e., direct interaction between the nitrate and HNO3 molecules is more favored compared to a water-mediated interaction. SAXS of the organic phases were modeled as sums of Ornstein-Zernike (O-Z) scattering and a prepeak feature in the higher Q region that corresponds to extractant packing. The extraction of undissociated HNO3 by the ion pairs leads to an increased X-ray scattering contrast in the organic phase without any significant change in the correlation length. These results show that the organic phase nanostructure is more sensitive to the concentration of TOAH·NO3 and is relatively unaffected by excess acid extraction. These findings will enable a molecular understanding of the mechanisms behind metal extraction from acidic media with basic extractants.

Abstract
Silica-based porous liquids (PLs) are innovative and versatile liquid materials with a high potential, although their application is often restricted to gas sorption. In this work, we propose to evaluate their potential to extract metals. For this goal, we have adapted their synthesis to provide PLs functionalized with thiols that are expected to chelate metallic contaminants, such as lead. As the accessibility of liquids and metals to the PL's porous network is one of the key points for their application, we developed an original small-angle neutron scattering experiment to verify that the PL is permeable to polar liquids. Then, preliminary extraction tests have successfully been carried out, with an extraction of lead cations by complexation on one-third of accessible thiol groups. This work demonstrates that the extraction of metal species by a PL is possible and opens many perspectives for optimization.

Abstract
Grape leaves, scientifically known as Vitis vinifera, the primary by-product obtained after the processing of grapes, are gathered in enormous amounts and disposed of as agricultural waste. For more sustainable agriculture and better food systems, it is crucial to investigate these byproducts' nutritional values. The primary bioactive compounds present in grape leaves are quercetin, resveratrol, caffeic acid, kaempferol, and gallic acid, which favour pharmacological effects on human health such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, and hepatoprotective. Furthermore, grape leaves extract has been used as a functional ingredient for creating both food and non-food products. The aim of the current review is to review the nutritional and phytochemical composition of various varieties of grape leaves, their health-promoting characteristics and their applications. The study also highlights the various extraction techniques including conventional and non-conventional methods for extracting the various bioactive compounds present in grape leaves. Grape leaves bioactives can be extracted using environmentally safe and sustainable processes, which are in line with the rising demand for eco-friendly and healthful products worldwide. These methods are perfectly suited to the changing needs of both customers and industries since they lessen environmental effect, enhance product quality, and offer financial advantages.

Abstract
A study on the synergistic extraction of Eu(III) ions with a series of chelating ligands and determination of the process parameters is presented by employing ionic liquids and typical organic diluents. The investigations of the liquid-liquid extraction, commonly applied in the separation science of 4f and 5f-ions acidic chelating compounds, 4-benzoyl-3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one (HP), 4-benzoyl-3-phenyl-5-isoxazolone (HPBI), and 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone (HTTA) alone and in combination with two synergistic agents, meso-hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (S2: HM-PAO) and its bis-imine precursor (S1: pre-HM-PAO), are presented. The interaction between the two extractants (acidic/neutral) in deuterochloroform was studied using 1H, 13C, and 1H-1H NOESY experiments. Several conclusions are given highlighting the role of the ionic diluent in complexation processes and selectivity with an employment of the two synergistic agents for various metal s-, p-, d-, and f-cations in the Periodic table, with almost 25 metal ions. The objective was to optimize a system for 4f-ions solvent extraction based on the new oxime molecules with β-diketone/isoxazolone/pyrazolone partnership. As detailed above, slight enhancements of extraction efficiencies were obtained either by using basic synergistic agents such as HM-PAO and/or using pre-HM-PAO. A competitive solvent extraction test of nearly 18 f-ions by various ligands (HTTA, S1, S2, and HPBI) and the two mixtures HTTA-S1 and HTTA-S2 diluted in ILs or organic diluents was also conducted in order to evaluate the switchable diluent impact. Additionally, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was used to study the established chemical species with Cu2+ cations in the obtained organic extracts involving the two synergistic molecules.

Abstract
One of the main environmental issues caused by the tanning industry is given by the high concentration of chromium contained on its effluents. The removal of this pollutant has become a technological challenge. To solve this issue, this work proposes a continuous process based on mixers-settlers for the removal of the chromium present in effluents from the tanning industry. The process involves the use of liquid-liquid extraction systems. The study includes the development of isotherms for the removal and stripping, which are further represented through a mathematical model to determine the number of theoretical extraction stages and other operational variables. The results show that a better extraction is achieved in a system with two theoretical stages using Cyanex 272 as extractant, reaching more than 94% of removal of chromium with an extractant concentration of 0.32 mol/L. For stripping, sulfuric acid is used, obtaining a maximum recovery of 94%.

Abstract
In this study, three series of polydentate N,O-ligands possessing unsymmetrical urea fragments attached to a p-cresol scaffold are obtained, namely mono- and bi-substituted open-chain aromatics, synthesised using a common experiment, as well as fused aryloxazinones. Separate protocols for the preparation of each series are developed. It is found that in the case of open-chain compounds, the reaction output is strongly dependent on both bis-amine and carbamoyl chloride substituents, while oxazinones can be effectively obtained via a common protocol. The products are characterized via 1D and 2D NMR spectra in solution and using single-crystal XRD. A preliminary study on the coordination abilities of the products performed via ITC shows that there are no substantial interactions in the pH range of 5.0-8.5 in general.

Abstract
Heavy metals' contamination of water resources is a global environmental issue due to their detrimental effects on human health. To safeguard humans and the environment, toxic heavy metals must be removed from contaminated water because they cannot be broken down. Diverse technologies are employed to reduce the levels of heavy metals in wastewater. However, these technologies suffer from being either costly or ineffective, particularly when the effluent has extremely low residual amounts. This review outlines the main accomplishments and promising future directions for solvent extraction as one of the potential methods of extracting heavy metals from water, utilizing literature reports. In addition to reviewing some of the commercial chelating reagents now in use, this article also discusses some of the obnoxious effects on human health that are associated with exposure to heavy metals.

Abstract
Prior to applying supported liquid membranes (SLM) with strip dispersion for separation of chromium (VI), copper and zinc, suitable chemical settings were determined through solvent extraction and stripping studies. More than 90% of copper and zinc could be simultaneously extracted with at least 3% (v/v) di-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) at a feed equilibrium pH in the range of 3.5–5.0. For stripping, theoretical model equations derived and experimental results revealed that suitable concentrations of lower acid strength reagents can strip metals that have weaker metal-extractant bond without significantly stripping metals that have a stronger metal-extractant bond. Therefore, in a setup comprising three compartments separated by two SLM, we propose to fill the three compartments in the following order: feed—strip dispersion containing low acid strength reagent—strong acid. An organic phase with 4% (v/v) D2EHPA was used. From stripping experiments, 0.2 mol/L pH 3 citrate buffer, which resulted in the highest copper recovery (88.8%) and solution purity (99.0%), was employed as the low acid strength reagent while the strong acid consisted of 1 mol/L sulfuric acid. In 26 h, 99.1% copper was recovered by citrate buffer with 99.8% purity and 95.1% zinc was recovered by sulfuric acid with 98.4% purity. Chromium (VI), copper and zinc could be separated effectively using this separation strategy.

Due to their numerous effects on human health and the natural environment, water contamination with heavy metals and metalloids, caused by their extensive use in various technologies and industrial applications, continues to be a huge ecological issue that needs to be urgently tackled. Additionally, within the circular economy management framework, the recovery and recycling of metals-based waste as high value-added products (VAPs) is of great interest, owing to their high cost and the continuous depletion of their reserves and natural sources. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art technologies developed for the removal and recovery of metal pollutants from wastewater by providing an in-depth understanding of their remediation mechanisms, while analyzing and critically discussing the recent key advances regarding these treatment methods, their practical implementation and integration, as well as evaluating their advantages and remaining limitations. Herein, various treatment techniques are covered, including adsorption, reduction/oxidation, ion exchange, membrane separation technologies, solvents extraction, chemical precipitation/co-precipitation, coagulation-flocculation, flotation, and bioremediation. A particular emphasis is placed on full recovery of the captured metal pollutants in various reusable forms as metal-based VAPs, mainly as solid precipitates, which is a powerful tool that offers substantial enhancement of the remediation processes' sustainability and cost-effectiveness. At the end, we have identified some prospective research directions for future work on this topic, while presenting some recommendations that can promote sustainability and economic feasibility of the existing treatment technologies.

Abstract
The wide application range and ascending demand for platinum group metals combined with the progressive depletion of their natural resources renders their efficient recycling a very important and pressing matter. Primarily environmental considerations associated with state-of-the-art recovery processes have shifted the focus of the scientific community toward the investigation of alternative recycling approaches. Within this context, ionic liquids have gained considerable attention in the last two decades chiefly sparked by properties such as tunabilty, low-volatility, and relatively easy recyclability. In this review an understanding of the state-of-the-art processes, including their drawbacks and limitations, is provided. The core of the discussion is focused on platinum group metal recovery with ionic liquid-based systems. A brief insight in some environmental considerations related to ionic liquids is also provided while some discussion on research gaps, common misconceptions related to ionic liquids and outlook on unresolved issues could not be absent from this review.

Abstract
Removal of radioactive 133Ba, 60Co and 63Ni and their nonradioactive isotopes through ion exchange method would be highly beneficial for the safe disposal of liquid industrial waste, and it also bears importance for the emergency response to nuclear accident. Herein, we report the employment of an indium sulfide [CH3CH2NH3]6In8S15 (InS-2) with exchangeable ethylammonium cations for efficient and selective uptake of Ba2+, Co2+ and Ni2+. The corner-sharing linkage of P1-{In8S17} clusters in InS-2 endow the layered structure with nanoscale windows, which facilitates both transfer and accommodation of the large hydrated divalent metal ions. This results in ultrafast exchange kinetics (10-20 min) and top-level exchange capacities of 211.73 mg g-1 for Ba2+, 103.57 mg g-1 for Co2+, and 111.78 mg g-1 for Ni2+. Particularly, InS-2 achieves ultrahigh Kd values of 2.3 × 105 mL g-1 for Ba2+, 2.0 × 105 mL g-1 for Co2+ and 1.6 × 105 mL g-1 for Ni2+, corresponding to remarkable removal efficiencies larger than 99.4% (C0 ~ 6 ppm). InS-2 shows high β and γ irradiation resistance, wide pH durability (pH 3-13 for Ba2+, pH 3-11 for Co2+ and Ni2+), and outstanding selectivity against competitor ions (e.g. Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+). The InS-2-filled ion exchange column exhibits a fantastic removal effect (R > 99%) for mixed Ba2+, Co2+, Ni2+, as well as Sr2+. The ultralong column-treatment on 20000 BVs of flow reveals an affinity order of Co2+ > Ni2+ > Ba2+ > Sr2+ for InS-2, which gives deep insights into the adsorption process and interaction between competitor ions. This excellent uptake of Ba2+ (Ra by analogy), Co2+ and Ni2+ ions by InS-2 highlights the great potential of metal chalcogenides as a type of promising materials for minimizing contamination in complex wastewater.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Organophosphorus-based ligands represent a versatile set of solvent extraction reagents whose chemical makeup plays an important role in extraction mechanism. We hypothesize that the branching of the extractant hydrophobic tail and its oil-phase solvation affect the liquid/liquid interfacial structure. Understanding the structure mediated adsorption and interfacial ordering becomes key in designing ligands with enhanced selectivity and efficiency for targeted extractions. EXPERIMENT We employed vibrational sum frequency generation spectroscopy and interfacial tension measurements to extract thermodynamic adsorption energies, map interfacial ordering, and rationalize disparate behaviors of model di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid and dioctyl phosphoric acid ligands at the hexadecane water interface. FINDINGS With increased surface loading, ligands with branched hydrophobic tails formed stable interfaces at much lower concentrations than those observed for ligands with linear alkyl tails. The lack of an oil phase and associated solvation results in markedly different interfacial properties, and thus measurements made at air/liquid surfaces cannot be assumed to correlate with the processes occurring at buried liquid/liquid interfaces. We attribute these differences in the surface mediated self-assembly to key variations in hydrophobic interactions and tail solvation taking place in the oil phase demonstrating that interactions in both the polar and nonpolar phases are essential to understand self-assembly and function.

Abstract
Solvent extraction is often applied to separate and purify metals on an industrial scale. Nevertheless, solvent extraction processes are challenging to develop because of the complex chemistry involved. For basic extractants, much of the chemical behavior remains poorly understood due to the conditions far from thermodynamic ideality. To elucidate the extraction mechanism, we studied the speciation and extraction of zinc(II) and cadmium(II) from chloride, bromide, and iodide media by using a basic extractant consisting of a trioctylmethylammonium cation and, respectively, a chloride, bromide, or iodide anion. These systems were specifically selected to increase the understanding of the less-studied bromide and iodide media and to focus on the effect of hard-soft interactions on solvent extraction systems. It was observed that, in general, a metal is more efficiently extracted when its hydration in the aqueous phase is lower and its stabilization in the organic phase is higher. In the investigated systems, these conditions are obtained by forming metal complexes with a lower charge density by coordinating the right number of halide anions and by selecting a halide with a lower charge density. In the organic phase, the stability of the metal complex can be increased by forming strong metal-anion bonds and by decreasing the water content. These insights might be of interest in the development and optimization of separation schemes for metals.

Abstract
Pollution caused due to discharge of toxic and hazardous chemical contaminants from industrial processes is an issue of major environmental concern. Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] is one such known toxic heavy metal contaminant emanated largely from various industrial processes. Since physical-chemical treatment techniques are beset with several problems, there is an increased attention on the use of waste biomaterials/biomass as sorbents for the elimination of heavy metals from aqueous matrices. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of some low-cost waste biomaterials such as fruit wastes, agricultural and industrial waste/byproducts, waste parts of photosynthetic plants, aquatic plants and fungal biomass collected from different sources for the biosorption of Cr(VI) from aqueous matrices. Amid the tested biomaterials, wood apple shell (WAS) biomass (Limonia acidissima) was found to be highly efficient biosorbent for Cr(VI) sorption. In majority of biomass, it was observed that biosorption of Cr(VI) took place at acidic pH with optimum pH ranging from 2.0 to 5.0. Loading capacity of WAS biomass (29.37 mg/g) was higher than that of conventional adsorbent activated charcoal (26.56 mg/g), which was used as control. Cr(VI) treated biomass (WAS) was characterized using instrumental techniques such as Scanned Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) confirmed the adsorption of Cr(VI). Boehm titration and FTIR studies were conducted to ascertain the presence of functional groups responsible for Cr(VI) sorption by WAS biomass. The WAS biomass removed Cr(VI) from industrial wastewater with an efficiency of >99.9% thus complying with the statutory limits. Considering the economical aspect, the selected biomass can be viewed as a potential candidate for the elimination of toxic contaminant from wastewater.

Abstract
We present a novel approach for the separation and recovery of Pt and Pd leached from a spent automotive catalyst relying on conventional and polymerized supported ionic liquid phases (SILPs and polySILPs, respectively). A variety of parameters with possible effects on the separation behavior, namely, acidity and concentration of the platinum group metal (PGM) containing solution, as well as different SILP and polySILP loadings, were evaluated for the separation of PGMs in the presence of high concentrations of Al, Fe, Zn, and Ce. The polySILP material demonstrated the ability to separate the PGMs from major accompanying interferences in a single separation step, while problems arising from ionic liquid leaching in the case of SILPs could be avoided. Moreover, the use of supported ionic liquid phases allowed the drastic reduction of the amount of required ionic liquid compared to conventional liquid-liquid separation, while avoiding problems arising from emulsion formation. Subsequent stripping experiments lead to further purification of the PGMs and finally desorption from the solid material into a pure solution. Eventually, the concept of chemisorbed polySILPs provides a new and convenient approach for the recycling of platinum group metals.

Abstract
Solvent extraction of Eu3+ and Am3+via N,N,N′,N'-tetraoctyl diglycolamide (TODGA) dissolved in different molecular diluents was studied. The diluent types used in this work were primary and secondary alcohols, secondary ketones and alkanes. Effects of concentration of extracting agent, temperature, diluent type and its carbon chain length on the extractions were determined. Distribution ratios of Eu3+ and Am3+ showed high dependence on the diluent type as well as the carbon chain length within the same type of diluent. The highest distribution ratios for both Eu3+ and Am3+ as well as the separation factors of Eu3+ over Am3+ were observed in the alkane diluents. Unexpectedly high distribution ratios for Eu3+ and Am3+ were observed in polar diluents with 5 carbon atoms in the chain, clearly standing out against the general trends. It was found that Eu3+ and Am3+ extraction via TODGA is enthalpy driven in all the studied diluents and that extraction is more exothermic in alkane diluents. Analysis of the stoichiometry of the extracted complexes shows that the average ligand number of TODGA molecules in the extracted complex is lower for Am3+ compared to Eu3+ except for with alkane diluents. Solvent extraction of Eu3+ and Am3+via N,N,N′,N'-tetraoctyl diglycolamide (TODGA) dissolved in different molecular diluents was studied.![]()

Abstract
In contrast to the classical method where a single molecule is designed to extract metal cations under specific conditions, dynamic covalent chemistry provides an approach based on the implementation of an adaptive dynamic covalent library for inducing the generation of the extractant species. This approach has been applied to the liquid-liquid extraction of copper(ii) nitrate based on a dynamic library of acylhydrazones constituents that self-build and distribute through the interface of a biphasic system. The addition of copper(ii) cations to this library triggers a modification of its composition and the up-regulation of the ligand molecules driven by coordination to the metal cations. Among these, one species has proven to be sufficiently lipophilic to play the role of carrier agent and its formation by component exchange enables the partial extraction of the copper(ii). The study of different pathways to generate the dynamic covalent library demonstrates the complete reversibility and the adaptability of the system. The detailed analytical investigation of the system provides a means to assess the mechanism of the dynamic extraction process.

Abstract
Lithium extraction is currently too inefficient to be economical or marketable. The objective of this work was to find the best extractant and the most inexpensive approach to recover lithium chemically from lithium ion batteries containing other desired metals using the solvent extraction technique. The extraction efficiency of various extracting types was investigated. The highest extraction efficiency of lithium ion from aqueous solution was obtained with bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (DEHPA), with 75% recovery. Studying the effects of selected extractants in this experiment, it was found that the acidic extractant group provided better extraction efficiency than solvating extractants. Further investigation of influential variables was carried out, including extraction time, pH of aqueous solution, and initial concentration. The results indicate that 6 h of extraction brings the system to equilibrium, and pH 1.5 is the best for extraction efficiency.

Abstract
Most seed oils are edible while some are used generally as raw material for soap production, chocolate, margarine, and recently in biodiesel formulations as potential candidates capable of replacing fossil fuels which are costly and destructive to the environment. Oilseeds are a green and major reservoir which when properly exploited can be used sustainably for the production of chemicals at both the laboratory and industrial scales. Oil extraction is one of the most critical steps in seed oil processing because it determines the quality and quantity of oil extracted. Optimization of the extraction conditions for each extraction method enhances yield and quality meanwhile a carefully chosen optimization process equally has the potential of saving time and heat requirements with an associated consequence on cost reduction of the entire process. In this review, the techniques used to optimize oil extraction from plant materials which can be consulted by stakeholders in the field are brought to focus and the merits and demerits of these methods highlighted. Additionally, different types of optimization techniques used for various processes including modeling and the software employed in the optimization processes are discussed. Finally, the quality of the oil as affected by the methods of extraction and the optimization process used are also presented.

Selective Extraction of Light Lanthanides(III) by N, N-Di(2-ethylhexyl)-diglycolamic Acid: A Comparative Study with N, N-Dimethyl-diglycolamic Acid as a Chelator in Aqueous Solutions. ACS OMEGA 2019; 4:20797-20806.

Abstract
The complexation and selectivity of N,N-di(2-ethylhexyl)-diglycolamic acid (HDEHDGA/kerosene, HA) toward the light lanthanides, La(III), Ce(III), Pr(III), and Nd(III), are presented for the extraction from chloride media. In the low pH region (pH 1.8-2.8), the obtained data reveal that the extraction of Ln(III) is governed by cation-exchange mechanism and is driven by the negative change in enthalpy. The results from the slope analysis method suggest the formation of LnA3·(HA)1or2 in the extraction process. As major extracted species with a core of LnA3 in the first coordination sphere, LnA3 might connect with one or two additional HA molecules in the second coordination sphere by hydrogen bonding. The LnA3 core might share similar coordination geometry to those of 1:3 Ln(III) complexes (LnA'3) with water-soluble N,N-dimethyl-diglycolamic acid (HDMDGA, HA') formed in aqueous solutions or in solid-state compounds. The correlation between the extraction with HDEHDGA (HA) as an extractant and the complexation with HDMDGA (HA') as a chelator has been explored by interpreting the separation factors for HA with the difference in the stability constants for HA'. Consequently, the ratios of the stability constants of the corresponding 1:3 complexes (LnA'3) with HDMDGA could be reasonably translated to the separation factors (SFs) with HDEHDGA, providing a valuable approach for understanding the origin of the extraction/separation mechanism. By comparing the extraction selectivity of HDEHDGA with that of the currently deployed extractants in the industry such as P204, P507, and Cyanex 272, HDEHDGA offers outstanding selectivity with considerable SFs (SFCe/La = 6.68, SFPr/Ce = 2.79, and SFNd/Pr = 2.65) for light Ln(III) pairs under conditions of low acid concentrations.

Abstract
The aim of this paper was to propose and test a continuous cobalt recovery process from waste mobile phone batteries. The procedure started with dismantling, crushing, and classifying the materials. A study on leaching with sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide was carried out with subsequent selective separation of cobalt by means of liquid–liquid extraction. The best extraction conditions were determined based on a sequence of experiments that consisted of selecting the best extractant for cobalt, then assessing the impact of extractant concentration, pH, and contact time on the extraction yield. With these conditions, an extraction isotherm was obtained and correlated with a mathematical model to define the number of extraction stages for a countercurrent process using the McCabe–Thiele method. Then, a similar study was done for stripping conditions and, as a last step, cobalt electroplating was performed. The proposed process offers a solution for the treatment of these batteries, avoiding potential problems of contamination and risk for living beings, as well as offering an opportunity to recover valuable metal.
