RARE METAL/PLATINUM-BASED METAL EXTRACTANT, AND METHOD FOR EXTRACTING RARE METAL/PLATINUM-BASED METAL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rare metal/platinum-based metal extractant having a completely new structure which cannot be seen in the conventional rare earth/platinum-based metal extractants and having excellent extracting performance and also to provide a method for extracting rare metal/platinum-based metal using the same.

SOLUTION: The rare metal/platinum-based metal extractant is characterized as follows: a solution in which several rare metals/platinum-based metals are dissolved is brought into contact with a solution in which a cyclic phenol sulfide expressed by general formula (1) is dissolved, and thereby, each rare metal/platinum-based metal is transferred to the cyclic phenol sulfide solution and each rare metal/platinum-based metal can be extracted.
