Solvent extraction and electrowinning

Solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX/EW) is a two-stage hydrometallurgical process that first extracts and upgrades copper ions from low-grade leach solutions into a solvent containing a chemical that selectively reacts with and binds the copper in the solvent. The copper is extracted from the solvent with strong aqueous acid which then deposits pure copper onto cathodes …

Metal Recovery Processes

After the passing through the first liberator cell, the bleed solution is often sent to a second liberator cell. Excess copper is removed along with some impurities in this step. In many applications metals are precipitated from bleed solutions. Other impurity removal steps such as ion exchange or solvent extraction are also used.

Manganese in copper solvent extraction and electrowinning

In the copper solvent extraction–electrowinning (SX–EW) process, Mn 2+ entrained in the organic solution may be transferred to the loaded electrolyte. It will then be oxidised during copper EW. The high-oxidation state manganese formed may in turn return to the SX circuit. The presence of high-oxidation state manganese has been associated ...
