Recovery of Copper, Nickel and Zinc from Sulfate Solutions by Solvent Extraction Using LIX 984N

Recovery of valuable metals such as copper, nickel and zinc from synthetic sulfate solutions using LIX 984N as the extractant dissolved in kerosene was investigated. The metals get extracted at different equilibrium pH of the aqueous phase and thus the pH of the aqueous solutions forms the basis of...
