Evaluating cationic extractant systems containing Versatic 10 …

The solvent extraction of Ni, Co, Cu, Ca, Mn, Mg, and Zn was evaluated in this work using Versatic 10 and its mixture with D2EHPA, Cyanex 272, Cyanex 301, LIX 84-I, and LIX 860N-IC. The aqueous phase reproduces a liquor obtained by applying a sulfation-roasting-leaching process in an Ni lateritic ore after precipitation of Fe, Al, and Cr.

SX Solvent Extraction Process Principles Theory

It is important for the reader to understand that solvent extraction is only one unit process in a series of unit processes needed to win metal from ore. For this reason solvent extraction must be compatible with, and complimentary to, the leaching process which precedes it and the final metal recovery process which follows (Figure 1).
