Removing of Sb and As from Electrolyte in Copper Electrorefining Process: A Green Approach

Removing of arsenic and antimony from electrolyte copper electrorefining plant by cooling treatment is the subject current study. In this regards, temperature various samples reduce to 5, 10, 15 20 °C hold at different times without any turbulency. Experimental results reveal that decreasing electrolyte, facilitate deposition As Sb in form AsO5Sb, AsO4Sb As2O3 as white precipitate a critical time. Also, case retention exceed than time, content blue phase. Typically, it possible remove 27 wt.% 6 5 ᵒC after 8 h. It seems due biocompatibility, lack need complex technology its simplicity, proposed method suitable alternative common approaches for removal industrial
