Abstract

Gallium is efficiently extracted from strongly basic solutions containing aluminates by extractants having the tris- and/or tetrakis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-1,2-diaminoethane chemical moiety. The diaminoethane derivative may be used together with a hydrocarbyl 8-hydroxyquinoline and/or with a tertiary carboxylic acid.
