Abstract
The extraction of cadmium by tri-n-octylamine in benzene and cyclohexane from a mixture of sulphuric acid and potassium bromide has been investigated in detail. The optimum conditions for the extraction and back-extraction of cadmium have been found. The procedure for the concentration of cadmium is described and the separation of cadmium in the presence of more than 30 metals including fission products is presented.
