Oct 01 2018nbsp018332The solvent extraction and stripping of copper has been performed in a YY type microchannel reactor Effects of residence time aqueous phase pH and concentration of extractant on the extent of extraction were investigated and the overall volumetric mass transfer coefficients K L were calculated to evaluate mass transfer characteristics
SXEW 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 SXEW reactor the first process to take place is solvent extraction which involves setting and
