Separation of Copper and Nickel from Ammoniacal/Ammonium Carbonate Solutions Using ACORGA PT5050
1998
Alguacil, Francisco José | Cobo, A.
ACORGA PT5050 diluted with iberfluid (kerosene-type diluent, mostly aliphatic) was used to coextract copper and nickel from ammoniacal carbonate solutions. The influence of kinetics, temperature, equilibrium pH, and extractant concentration on the extraction of both metals has been studied. It was observed that nickel extraction is very sensitive to aqueous pH and that the extraction falls beyond an equilibrium pH of 9. For a typical solution containing near 3 g/L each of copper and nickel and 60 g/L ammonium carbonate, conditions were established for the coextraction and selective stripping of nickel and copper.
