Product Details

High Efficiency Copper Hydrometallurgy Solvent Extraction (SX) Equipment

Product description

The solvent extraction plant consists of one train of mixer-settler units. the train will have sevral stages of extraction mixer-settler units operating in series, washing, and some stages of stripping mixer-settler units operating in series. Aqueous and organic solution streams will flow counter-currently through the extraction mixer-settler units. after stripping, qualified electrolyte will go to electro-winning process.

We can also provide the mobile / portable solvent extractionn modular according to client't requirement, which is suitable for small capacity project.
