The invention relates to a method for fractionating, extracting and separating 
zirconium and 
hafnium, in particular to a method for fractionating, extracting and separating 
zirconium and 
hafnium by using di(2-ethylhexyl)
phosphorous acid as an extracting agent. The method comprises the following steps of: (1) extraction, using 50-300 parts by weight of di(2-ethylhexyl)
phosphorous acid, 25-150 parts by weight of mixing 
alcohol with the 
carbon number of 7-9, and 550-925 parts by weight of sulfonated 
kerosene to prepare a di(2-ethylhexyl)
phosphorous acid organic phase to extract; (2) washing, adding 
oxalic acid into a sulphuric acid solution to prepare a washing solution to wash; and (3) stripping, using a mixing solution of 
ammonia and 
carbonate as a strip liquor, stripping to obtain a strip liquor containing 
hafnium, slowly adding concentrated 
hydrochloric acid to adjust the solution into acidity, adding concentrated 
ammonia to obtain hafnium 
hydroxide precipitate, washing, filtering, calcining, and then obtaining 
hafnium oxide. The used 
chemical agents are difficult to volatilize, the 
toxicity is low, the 
corrosion is weak, the disposition is easy, and the discharged waste water can not cause the environments to be polluted. The technology has the advantages of quick phase separation, convenient operation, and high and stable product quality.
