Abstract
Abstract A novel method is proposed for the extraction of copper from hydrochloric acid solutions and its transfer into sulfuric acid solutions, using a mixture of two extractants: trioctylamine and LIX-54. The method consists of the following steps: extraction, scrubbing, stripping and conditioning of the extractant mixture. The chloride ions are removed during the scrubbing step. It is shown that the extraction parameters of the extractant mixture are improved compared to those of the individual extractants.
