SEPARATION OF ZINC FROM MANGANESE BY SOLVENT EXTRACTION FROM ACIDIC LEACHATES OF SPENT ZINC-MnO2 DRY CELLS USING NEUTRAL ORGANOPHOSPHORUS EXTRACTANTS

This paper describes a route for recovering manganese and zinc from spent zinc-MnO2 dry cells via acid leaching using sulfuric or hydrochloric acids as leachants. Hydrogen peroxide was added as reductant. Experiments were run at 25-40 °C for 1-3 h. Under the best optimal conditions, over 97.5 wt.% o...
