Copper electrowinning: theoretical and practical design
نویسندگان
چکیده
The electrowinning of copper ions derived from leaching, or solvent extraction is a significant contributor to the global copper commodity supply. The process of electrolysis for copper was first developed in the late 19th century and despite numerous advancements in technology the principles and basic equipment remain the same. The first part of this paper deals with the theoretical requirements and fundamental equations and principles that govern copper electrowinning. The second part discusses the practical requirements for designing a copper electrowinning plant. BEUKES, N.T. and BADENHORST, J. Copper electrowinning: theoretical and practical design.

متن کاملExperimental Validation of a Computational Fluid Dynamics Model of Copper Electrowinning
The hydrodynamics that occur in the space between the electrode plates in copper electrowinning (EW) are simulated using a computational fluid dynamics model (CFD). The model solves for the phases of gas oxygen bubbles and electrolyte using the Navier–Stokes equations in a CFD framework. An oxygen source is added to the anode, which sets up a recirculation pattern. The gradients in copper near ...

Although it has been recognized only relatively recently that the electrowinning process could be employed for the recovery of metals from wastewaters, the basic process is well established. Electroref ining, a process closely related to electrow inning, was introduced about a hundred years ago. Today, practically a l l of the world's copper (approx. 8,000,000 metric tons/year) i s electroref i...
متن کاملAlternative solution purification in the
More than 80% of the world’s production of zinc from its concentrate is obtained by the roastleach-electrowin hydrometallurgical process. In the roast-leach process, very pure zinc sulphate solution must be prepared for zinc electrowinning, therefore, the purification process is one of the most important unit processes in zinc hydrometallurgy. The conventional methods for the zinc solution puri...
