Abstract
The metal value separation efficiencies of alkyl aromatic sulfonic acid in solvent-extraction processes are enhanced by the addition to the solvent-extractant of a fused ring aromatic N-alkyl triazole and, optionally, an aliphatic .alpha.-hydroxy oxime. Especially important applications for the improved solvent-extractant are in the separation and recovery of copper from iron, cobalt from nickel, copper from cobalt, cobalt from zinc, nickel from zinc, zinc from iron, nickel from iron, copper from nickel, copper from iron and copper fron zinc.
