- 摘要：Traditional acid phosphate extractants exhibit low extraction efficiency in high-acid environments, while saponification pretreatment generates significant volumes of saline wastewater, with the high-cost of industrial salt concentration and crystallization. Based on the "esterification-alkaline hydrolysis-acidification" reaction, the bis(4-(2,4,4-trimethylpentan-2-yl) phenyl) hydrogen phosphate [(C14H21OH)2POOH, D4TOPHP] was synthesized with purity of 97.38 % and yield of 96.46 %. Compared to D2EHPA and HEH/EHP, the conjugation effect of phenyl group significantly enhances the electron-donating ability of P-OH. It promotes proton dissociation and proton exchange with Zn2+, and the extraction ability of D4TOPHP is significantly improved. Through two-stage countercurrent extraction and stripping, 99.97 % of zinc can be efficiently recovered from zinc-containing wastewater, achieving effective separation from impurity ions such as Mn2+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Al3+, and Fe3+. To achieve the same extraction performance, the NaOH required for saponification pretreatment of D2EHPA and HEH/EHP is 4.85 and 8.12 t/t Zn, while the discharge of saline wastewater (100 g/L Na2SO4) is 86.07 and 144.15 m3/t Zn. D4TOPHP achieves zinc efficient extraction, avoiding the alkaline reagents consumption and saline wastewater discharge generated by saponification pretreatment of alkyl phosphate extractants. It dem-onstrates significant environmental and economic benefits, presenting desirable application prospects in the disposal of low-concentration zinc-containing wastewater.
