In this paper the current status of the modeling, simulation and control of the copper-leaching, solvent-extraction and electrowinning process (LX/SX/EW) is investigated. No implementations of advanced process control in the copper LX/SX/EW process have so far been reported. However, model-based control has been successfully applied to solvent ...

The transferred copper rate is the quantity by unit of time which copper electrowinning receives from one or more copper solvent extraction circuits. In the case of the transferred copper come from one copper solvent extraction, the copper transferred to the copper solvent circuit can come from one or more pregnant leach solution (PLS).

Electrowinning is the plating of metallic copper from the CuSO 4 –H 2 SO 4 –H 2 O electrolyte produced by solvent extraction. It consists of passing direct current between inert but conductive anodes (usually Pb–Sn–Ca alloy) and stainless steel (sometimes copper) cathodes. The cathodic copper deposit is similar to that from electrorefining.

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 ...

LIX ® Reagents. BASF's copper extraction reagents are based on oxime chemical structures. These reagents give up a proton (hydrogen cation) and exchange it for the Cu +2 ion. The structure of the resultant complex, called a chelate, is very specific to copper at a pH <2.5 and will reject every other metal except from a small amount of iron.
