Funded Activity Summary

The Role of the Interface in Solvent Extraction. This project involves a fundamental study of the kinetics of reactions that occur in solvent extraction processes used for separation of many of Australia's metals from minerals. The understanding gained from this will enable a greater efficiency to be obtained from Australia's minerals industry. In particular, it is intended to investigate the role of additives on the kinetics of metal extraction; these additives either enter the solution from the ore or are added as flocculants during the process, and have a significant effect on the performance. With the move to smaller, shorter residence time contactors, this has become increasingly important if these new contactors are to be used efficiently.
