Dec 01, 2012 The metallurgical performance of Ionquest 801, D2EHPA and their mixture for zinc recovery from the leach solution relevant to the Skorpion zinc process was compared in the present study. In batch tests, the extraction of zinc with the 40 Ionquest 801 system was 48 compared to 56 with the 40 D2EHPA system.

Zinc electrowinning is the final aqueous processing step in the production of metallic zinc. It is a complex process that is difficult to control and monitor. This thesis seeks to develop a time transient process simulation of zinc electrowinning to aid in controlling and monitoring. Based on reported models of zinc electrowinning, and other electrowinning processes, a dynamic simulation of a ...
