Electrocoalescence of emulsions in raffinate from the solvent extraction phase under AC electrical fields
Raffinate is an aqueous acid phase with low copper content obtained in the solvent extraction phase (SX). This solution, which drags a significant amount of the organic phase that forms an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion, is recycled back to the leaching phase as an irrigation solution. In addition, the...
