Abstract
A comparison has been made of the extraction of Cu(II) and Fe(III) from chloride and sulphate solutions with LIX 64N in kerosene. The effects on extraction of pH, anion concentration, and temperature were examined, and attention was paid to the ionic strength of the aqueous media, some of which contained aluminium and magnesium; extraction was carried out under ‘practical’ rather than ‘ideal’ conditions. Extraction of both Cu and Fe was enhanced from chloride solutions compared with sulphate; although separation of Cu from Fe was slightly reduced, extraction of Cu from chloride liquors appears to be applicable to commercial leach solutions.
