The extraction of indium from a synthetic sulfate-containing solution using commercial reagents (Cyanex 272, DEHPA, and Cyanex 923) is evaluated on a comparative basis. The extraction profiles of indium (III) were examined with regard to the reagent concentration, the pH value of the aqueous solution, and the indium concentration in a low phase ratio of 1:10. DEHPA and Cyanex 272 are, in contrast to Cyanex 923, very well suited for the extraction of indium. Re-extraction with HCl and H2SO4 is compared.
