Nickel limonite ore is a source of nickel and cobalt. However, the ore is heterogeneous and concentration changes according the location of the ore. Therefore, determination of the operating parameters is required to separate the metals taking into account the composition of these ores. Hydrometallurgical process is used to treat leach liquor from ores. This work studied the treatment of synthetic solution based on leach liquor of nickel limonite ore by solvent extraction. During the study was determinated the metals extraction parameters as pH, extractant concentration in the organic phase, aqueous and organic ratio (A/O) and number of theoretical extraction stages. The extraction of iron was 100% using Cyanex 272 at pH 2, extractant concentration 25% (v/v) and three extraction stages at an A/O ratio 1/3. Nevertheless, during the extraction of iron, cobalt was co-extracted. The cobalt lost was 27% at the parameters used to extract. It was possible to recover copper from the synthetic solution using Acorga M5640 as extractant at pH 2, extractant concentration 5% v/v, one extraction stage and an A/O ratio 1/1. Aluminium and zinc were removed from synthetic solution at pH 3.5, organic phase with 25% v/v of Cyanex 272 and two extraction stages at an A/O ratio 1/2. The last part of work was removed cobalt, chromium, magnesium and manganese from the aqueous solution. The reason is staying just nickel in the final solution. Cyanex 272 at pH 5 and 20% v/v concentration was used and five extraction stages and an A/O ratio 1/1 was necessary to extract the metals. The finally solution was composed by 2.52g/L of nickel, corresponding 100% of nickel from synthetic leach liquor of nickel limonite ore. In addition, 0.19g/L of magnesium and 0.008g/L of chromium staying at solution.
