Nickel processing - Nickel processing - Extraction and refining: The extraction of nickel from ore follows much the same route as copper, and indeed, in a number of cases, similar processes and equipment are used. The major differences in equipment are the use of higher-temperature refractories and the increased cooling required to accommodate the higher operating temperatures in nickel ...

The SX process consists of extracting Cu 2+ from aqueous PLS into a copper specific organic extractant, separating the aqueous and organic phases by gravity, and then stripping Cu 2+ from the organic extractant into high-H 2 SO 4 electrolyte returned from the EW circuit. The process is continuous and is carried out in large Mixer-settlers.

Extraction of Metals. Extraction of Copper.. Copper is sometimes found as native metal.. Copper ores include copper(II) oxide and copper(II) sulfide. Copper(II) oxide can be reduced by reaction with carbon.. Some copper ores may contain only small amounts of copper. These are called low grade ores and have less than 1% copper but they are still used because copper is so valuable.

Extracting of Copper from Other Ores. Copper can be extracted from non-sulfide ores by a different process involving three separate stages: Reaction of the ore (over quite a long time and on a huge scale) with a dilute acid such as dilute sulfuric acid to produce a very dilute copper(II) sulfate solution.

The early development of copper probably was most advanced in Egypt.As early as 5000 bce, copper weapons and implements were left in graves for the use of the dead.Definite records have been found of the working of copper mines on the Sinai Peninsula about 3800 bce, and the discovery of crucibles at these mines indicates that the art of extracting the metal included some refining.

This entire process is known as solvent extraction electrowinning (SX-EW). Various methods of smelting are used to convert the concentrates to copper metal. One method is to melt them with fluxes in a smelter furnace to produce copper matte, which is a mixture mainly of iron and copper sulfides usually containing 50 to 70% copper.
