Abstract
This paper presents a modelling tool that can be used to predict the behaviour of solvent extraction
processes. In particular, this model allows calculating metal extraction efficiency as a function of pH,
solvent flowrate, stripping flowrate and aqueous feed flowrate in the mixers-settlers. This model is
applied to the recovery of cobalt from acidic chloride media by using CYANEX® 272 as extractant
diluted in kerosene.
