Hydrometallurgy 3 - Concentration and Purification of Leach Solutions

Concentration and Purification of Leach Solutions is the third in a series of four hydrometallurgy courses by the author, written for university students as well as practicing engineers and metallurgists.

The Hydrometallurgy series covers the elementary theoretical basis of solution chemistry, the engineering aspects, and the technical applications for a large variety of raw materials, e.g. metals, oxides, sulfides, phosphates, silicates, and others. It also covers the purification-concentration steps such as adsorption on activated charcoal, ion exchange, and solvent extraction. Finally, the general aspects of precipitation from aqueous solutions are covered with numerous examples. The series is characterized by clear and simplified flowsheets, numerous chemical equations written mainly in ionic form, many illustrations for equipment and plants, and finally a lucid style presenting the facts point by point as concisely as possible.

Hydrometallurgy 3 - Concentration and Purification of Leach Solutions covers the processes of activated charcoal adsorption, ion exchange and solvent extraction and how they relate to the concentration and purification of leach solutions.
