Studies have been carried out in the extraction of Cd(II) along with Al(III), Fe(III), In(III), Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Hg(II) and Pb(II) from hydrochloric acid medium using Cyanex 923. The effect of different variables influencing the extraction of Cd(II) such as the concentration of acid, metal ion and extractant and the nature of the diluent has been investigated. The extracting species of Cd(II) is proposed. Based on the partition data, some binary separations of topical interest from Cd(II) have been achieved. The potential of the extractant for the recovery of pure cadmium from some zinc and copper matrices is assessed.
