This invention relates to the refining of metals containing cobalt and nickel by solvent extraction. In particular the invention relates to a process for the separation of cobalt and nickel by solvent extraction comprising contacting an aqueous solution containing cobalt and nickel ions with an organic phase containing an ester of phosphoric acid in which the temperature and concentration of cobalt in the organic phase enable substantially all of the cobalt present in that phase to convert to a tetrahedral configuration. |
