separation and estimation of scandium in red mud by-product of aluminaPROCESSING

Scandium is a rare and very expensive metal due to new applications especially in laser research have arouse of much interest in its accurate determination and high purity production. A single source of scandium is not known to exist, mainly obtained as aThe present thesis deals with separation of scandium as a by product from red mud producing during the alumina processing by a combined method of ion exchange and solvent extraction, separation process is controlled through continuous chemical analysis in
