extraction of nickel and its co-extraction with copper from ammoniacal media into emulsion liquid membrane systems (elms) was investigated using lix 84i as the carrier. measurement of the solute stripped in the internal phase of emulsion opened a new dimension in the study of the elm extraction processes. the effect of operating parameters such as feed ph, initial feed concentration, and treat ...

oxime extractants 3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-5-methyl benzaldehyde oxime (hl1) and 3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-5-methoxy benzaldehyde oxime (hl2) were synthesized and characterized by conventional spectroscopic methods. suitable lipophilic nature of the prepared extractants allowed examining the ability of these molecules for extraction-separation of copper from its mixture with normally associated meta...

the aim of this work was to develop a selective cloud point extraction method for the separation and preconcentration of copper(ii) prior to spectrophotometric determination. for this purpose dithizone was used as a complexing agent and the experimental solution was acidified with sulfuric acid. triton x-114 was used as a surfactant and after phase separation, based on the cloud point of the mi...

In recent years, the demand for copper and nickel has risen world-wide due to their use in printed circuit boards, batteries, application in marine alloys (due to excellent resistance to corrosion by seawater), and a wide range applications in day-to-day life (Doebrich, 2009). Increasing demand for these metals is leading to rapid depletion of high-grade resources. Alternative sources, such as ...

in this study, effects of solid concentration, temperature, and initial fe2+ concentration on bioleaching of sulfide mineral (chalcopyrite) obtained from sarcheshmeh copper mine in the region of kerman located in the south of iran were investigated. a mesophilic iron oxidizing bacterium, acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans has been isolated from a typical chalcopyrite copper concentrate of the menti...

a new method for the determination of trace copper(ii) in food samples by cloud point extraction(cpe) combined with flame atomic absorption spectrometry(faas) is presented and evaluated. the method is based on the fact that hydrophobic complex of copper(ii) with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (ddtc) was formed at ph 6.0 and subsequently the hydrophobic complex was extracted into surfactant-rich ...

Solvent extraction of copper in hollow-fiber membrane contactors was investigated in this study. Extraction of copper is carried out conventionally using mixer-settlers. These contactors have some disadvantages such as consumption of high energy, dispersion of two phases and high operating costs. Membrane contactors can obviate the need for conventional contactors. The most favorable module use...
