Selective precipitation recovery of rhenium from aqueous solutions containing a coexisting metal (molybdenum, tungsten, or aluminum) by means of UV-visible light irradiation in the presence of 2-propanol and acetone was investigated. When the pH of the rhenium-molybdenum solutions (initial concentration 10.4 mM for each metal) was in the range from 6.3 to 12.5 and the irradiation time was 6 h, the rhenium in the initial solutions was efficiently recovered in the precipitates (92-99%), and the rhenium selectivity was high (the rhenium recovery ratio was 9.2-21 times that of molybdenum). The high selectivity for rhenium was also observed at different molybdenum concentrations (4.8-15.7 mM) and at a higher rhenium concentration (17.5 mM).Rhenium was also recovered efficiently and selectively from rhenium-tungsten solutions (initial concentration 10.4 mM for each metal): when the pH ranged from 7.0 to 12.0 and the irradiation time was 6 h, the rhenium recovery was 90-95% and the rhenium recovery ratio was 7.3-45 times that of tungsten. In contrast, when the coexisting metal was aluminum (initial rhenium and aluminum concentrations, 10.4 mM and 8.6 mM, respectively; pH 11.2), 95% of the rhenium was recovered in the precipitate after 6 h of irradiation; however, aluminum was somewhat unstable in the basic solution and the rhenium recovery ratio was 3.2 times that of aluminum. Unlike molybdenum and tungsten, aluminum tended to coprecipitate with rhenium.
