2012. Mixer-settler units are used in solvent extraction processes in a number of industries, including hydrometallurgical plants. Efficient operation depends on the generation of a fine dispersion in the mixer section for metal transfer between immiscible aqueous and organic phases, followed by complete phase separation in the settler.
Komulainen et al. (2006) presented a dynamic model for an industrial copper solvent extraction process. They presented the settler model as a plug flow or a delay. Therefore, even though the model described the dynamics of the solvent extraction process well, it will probably be difficult to fit the model to other plant data with more complex ...

Copper can be extracted from non-sulfide ores by a different process involving three separate stages: Reaction of the ore (over quite a long time and on a huge scale) with a dilute acid such as dilute sulfuric acid to produce a very dilute copper(II) sulfate solution. Concentration of the copper(II) sulfate solution by solvent extraction.

SYNOPSIS. Although the first large-scale application of copper recovery by solvent extraction took place in Zambia in the early 1970s, it is only in the last decade that this technology has become widely employed in this part of the world and is now a mainstay unit operation in copper hydrometal-lurgical flow sheets.
With Flottweg Tricanter® centrifuges, copper mines can recover organic from crud and reuse it in their solvent extraction processes. The solvent extraction (SX) process is a hydrometallurgical procedure in which metals, such as copper, platinum, gold, cobalt, nickel, zinc, or uranium, are recovered through the use of organic extractants.
