Résumé : |
This paper describes a study of the separation of zinc and copper from the leach liquor generated in the treatment of the zinc residue (29.6 g/L Zn and 37.4 g/L Cu) by liquid–liquid extraction. In it, the influence of the extractant type and concentration, aqueous phase acidity, contact time and stripping agent concentration were investigated. Organophosphorus extractants (D2EHPA, IONQUEST®801 and CYANEX®272) and the chelating extractants (LIX®63, LIX®984N and LIX®612N-LV) were also investigated. The organophosphorus reagents are selective for zinc, while the chelating extractants are selective for copper. In the experiment, D2EHPA was found to be the best extractant. A sulfuric acid solution was used in the stripping study. Five continuous experiments were carried out until an optimal condition for the separation of the metals Zn and Cu was achieved. Experiment 5 was carried out in three extraction steps, three scrubbing stages and five stripping stages. In this experiment, a pregnant strip solution containing 125 g/L Zn and 0.01 g/L Cu was obtained and the concentration of the metals in the raffinate was 28.3 g/L Cu and 0.49 g/L Zn. |
