Notes:
Abstract Optimum conditions are determined for the removal of nickel from cobalt solutions by electrodialysis exploiting the greater stability of the EDTA complex with nickel. The Ni–(EDTA)2− complex and hydrated Co2+ ions are transferred from the feed solution to the electrodialysis anolyte and catholyte chambers, respectively. A three compartment cell is required to prevent the transfer of hydrated Ni2+ from the anolyte chamber as the EDTA present is destroyed at the anode. Complete removal of nickel from cobalt can be achieved but there is a compromise between cobalt purity and the percentage of cobalt transferred to the catholyte chamber for recovery.
