Abstract:
The resistance of chromated zinc surfaced steel objects, particularly plates and sheets, to extraction of hexavalent chromium by alkaline degreasing solutions used on the chromated objects, can be substantially increased by utilizing an aqueous acidic liquid chromating composition containing (A) about 9.6 to about 96 g/L, expressed as its stoichiometric equivalent as chromic acid, of total chromium; (B) about 2 to about 35 g/L of trivalent chromium ions; (C) about 1 to about 128 g/L of phosphate ions; and (D) about 0.3 to about 4 g/L of fluorozirconate ions, with the chromium ratio in the aqueous acidic liquid composition being about 0.41 to about 0.70, the chromic acid/fluorozirconate weight ratio being about 10 to about 40, and the PO4/Cr+3 ratio being greater than about 0.03, greater than or equal to about {(9.2)(the chromium ratio) - 4.0}, and less than or equal to about {(9.2)(the chromium ratio) -1.2}. The corrosion resistance of the coatings formed can be further improved if the chromating composition also contains about 0.1 to about 200 g/L of dispersed silica.

Abstract:
An improved process for the extraction of a metal from an aqueous ammoniacal solution comprising: (i) contacting the aqueous ammoniacal solution with an extraction reagent comprised of a water insoluble extractant for the metal, to provide an organic phase, now containing metal values, and an aqueous phase from which metal values have been extracted; (ii) contacting the organic phase with an aqueous stripping solution to provide an aqueous strip phase, now containing metal values, and an organic phase from which metal values have been stripped; and (iii) recovering the metal values from the aqueous stripping solution; the improvement wherein (a) the extraction reagent contains an ammonia antagonist having only hydrogen bond acceptor properties; (b) the stripping solution is an aqueous highly acidic solution; and (c) the organic phase is washed with a weakly acidic aqueous solution prior to stripping with the highly acidic aqueous stripping solution. The extractant is preferably an oxime extractant, either a ketoxime or an aldoxime. The preferred hydrocarbon solvent is kerosene and the preferred antagonist is 2,2,4-trimethylpentane-1,3-diol diisobutyrate.
