The recovery process of selenium from Iranian Sar-Cheshmeh copper anode slimes employing hydrometallurgical methods has been investigated. The copper anode slimes are made up of those components of  the anodes, which are not soluble in the electrolyte. They contain varying quantities of precious metals like gold, silver, selenium and tellurium. They are being extracted as a by product in th...

Lead, copper, cobalt, nickel, iron and zinc ions form monocitrate complexes (negative charge) in citrate solution which is absorbed on the citrate form of anion-exchange resins (citrate as counter ion) y exchange of citrate ion with citrate complexes. These are subsequently recovered from the resin by 0.5M ammonium citrate eluent at pH 2.0. Under optimized conditions, quantitative recovery ...

Recovery of gold from copper-rich ores has proved challenging. Dissolved copper in cyanide-deficit leach solutions severely interferes with adsorption resulting low recoveries onto activated carbon or ion exchange resins. This study reports the efficiency different adsorbents for selective recovery copper-containing cyanide leachate. Activated (NORIT GAC 1240), mixed base (Purogold A193), stron...

background: industrial copper ingest is a common form of poisoning in animals. zinc has an important role in the physiology of spermatozoa, in sperm production and viability. objective: this study was set to investigate whether the adverse effects of long term copper consumption on quality of rat spermatozoa could be prevented by zinc therapy. materials and methods: forty eight mature (6-8 week...

The Katanga province is well known for its copper and cobalt reserves. During the early 2000s a boom of mining projects in Katanga brought again hope for better future to Congolese people. The paper aims to evaluate the impact of recent production recovery on economy and environment. We collected primary and secondary sources on copper industry for economic analysis. We use results of laborator...

Recent studies have shown that copper deficiency of the rat leads to a great reduction of the cytochrome oxidase activity of the liver and the heart (1). Considering the fact that in extrauterine life the bone marrow is the main center of hematopoietic activity and that copper is necessary for normal hematopoiesis, it was of interest to determine cytochrome oxidase activity of the bone marrow (...

Using direct electrolysis method, the recovery of copper and cyanide from high concentration solution was researched. The distribution species calculated by stability constants balance equation. results showed that cupric ion confirmed to generate at low potential (<0.4V) on titanium electrode coated with iridium tantalum oxides during process, which led oxidation precipitate obtained anode ...
