The Mg–Sc alloy leach solution bearing 2.5 g/L Sc(III), 25.0 g/L Mg(II) and 0.5 M HCl was subjected to investigate for separation of Sc(III) by hollow fibre liquid membrane (HFLM) followed by its recovery through oxalate precipitation route. Ionic liquid (IL) R₄ND derived from commercial organo-phosphoric acid (D₂EHPA) and aliquot-336 was used as carrier in this study. Equilibrium study ensures on extraction of Sc(III) as ScCl₃ with association of 3 mole of R₄ND in the extracted phase. The role of chloride and R₄ND concentration appears to be critical while enhancing the Sc flux (J_Sc). The complex formation during extraction of Sc(III) into the carrier phase was confirmed from FTIR analysis. Maximum J_Sc of 10.41 × 10⁻⁵ mol/m².s was obtained at the optimum condition: pH 4.0, 0.4 M R₄ND, flow rate 150 mL/min., 6.0 M NaOH, Feed: Strip = 3:1 and after 90 min. of HFLM continuous run of almost all scandium separation from scrap solution was achieved on yielding threefold enrichment into the strip phase which bears ~7.49 g/L of scandium. The stripped solution resulted was precipitated using oxalic acid and substantially calcined to produce Sc₂O₃. The pure form of Sc₂O₃ produced in the present work was ensured from XRD analysis.
