Abstract. The modes of action of the commercial solvent extractants used in extractive hydrometallurgy are classified according to whether the recovery process involves the transport of metal cations, M n +, metalate anions, MX x n −, or metal salts, MX x into a water-immiscible solvent. Well-established principles of coordination chemistry provide an explanation for the …
With Flottweg Tricanter® centrifuges, copper mines can recover organic from crud and reuse it in their solvent extraction processes. The solvent extraction (SX) process is a hydrometallurgical procedure in which metals, such as copper, platinum, gold, cobalt, nickel, zinc, or uranium, are recovered through the use of organic extractants.

This article compiles the results of a review of world copper solvent extraction (SX) plant practices and examines changes in operating practices in the last seven years as compared to previous world copper SX surveys in 1996 and 1999. Trends covered are fiber-reinforced plastic construction mixer box and settler designs, reverse flow settlers, and advanced mixer design. …
Approximately 20% of current world copper cathode output is produced using a hydrometallurgical process route, generally referred to as the leach-solvent extraction-electrowinning flowsheet.
The second aqueous phase is pure and concentrated (Stevanovic et al., 2009). Once solvent extraction has proved to be a cost-effective way of purifying and concentrating copper from leach liquors ...
Today, around 25% of the world's copper is recovered by solvent extraction, which is considered the lowest-cost production route for the production of high quality cathode material. In Chile, the world's largest copper producer, solvent extraction process (SX) will soon be used to produce 50% of that country's copper. ...
SX-EW technology involves leaching (the process of dissolving useful ingredients with a solution) in atmospheric conditions of copper ore heaps by means of diluted sulphuric acid. Folowing leaching, the pregnant leaching solution is transported via a drainage system to the next stage. In an SX-EW reactor, the first process to take place is solvent extraction, which involves …
Beginning in the mid 1980s a new technology, commonly known as the leach-solvent extraction-electrowinning process or, SX/EW Process, was widely adopted. ... In addition, the process can be used to extract copper in situ. That is, without removing the material from the waste pile or from the ground. The net result of the use of this process is ...

Chemistry of Copper Solvent Extraction Liquid–liquid extraction involves the selective transfer of a substance between two immiscible liquid phases by controlling the relative solubility in each phase. In the case of copper SX, the exchange is typically achieved by an oxime-based chelating mechanism. In particular, mixtures of aldoxime and
The studied copper solvent extraction process consists of four units, three for extraction and one for stripping, as presented in Fig. 2. The inputs of the process are pregnant leach solution series and parallel flow rates, F(PLSS) and F(PLSP), pregnant leach solution copper concentration, c(PLS), lean electrolyte flow rate, F(LE), lean ...
