A five-stage counter-current batch continuous test was carried out with Cyanex 272 under optimized conditions. More than 99% of the magnesium was removed from the synthetic solution containing 3.4 g/L Mg and 106 g/L Ni using 0.5 M Cyanex 272, leaving only 38 mg/L Mg in the purified nickel solution, which is suitable for the electrowinning.

Electrowinning nickel cathode from clean nickel sulphate solution (600 t/a). Nickel is considered a ' moody' metal, in that it can be quite temperamental to electrowinning favouring constant concentration, constant temperature, constant pH and careful control of impurities, due in part to its negative reduction potential (E 0 = -0.25). In most cases, nickel electrolyte needs to be purified ...

The cobalt is generally associated with other transitional metals including nickel, iron and copper. It is generally extracted by hydrometallurgical means and recovered from solution by electrowinning or hydrogen reduction. Little data [1-2] exists in literature on the electrowinning of cobalt from aqueous solutions.

The iron concentration increased in the leach solutions of both tests, but the rate of increase was more rapid in the test using cementation. After 131 days of leaching, the iron concentrations were 31 g/l in the leach-cementation test solution and 14 g/l in the leach-solvent extraction-electrowinning test solution.

Copper electrowinning operations have dramatically improved their ability to produce high quality copper at low costs over the past several decades. Even so, some fundamental knowledge is still lacking that could allow operations to run even more efficiently. For example, a rule of thumb exists that estimates a current efficiency loss of 2–3% per gram per liter of iron in the electrolyte ...

In the commercial electrowinning of manganese a body of electrolyte is maintained in an electrolytic cell provided with an anode and a cathode, separated by a permeable membrane or diaphragm into anolyte and catholyte chambers, respectively. From this body of liquid, specifically from the catholyte in the catholyte chamber, manganese is removed ...

In recent years very little has been published in the literature about electrowinning of iron from mineral ores in acid electrolytes. However, a related problem has been addressed in connection with the recovery of Zn and Fe from spent pickling solutions (Csicsovszki et al., 2005).Here iron deposition from hydrochloric solutions was studied in a two-compartment cell using an ion …
