In modern hydrometallurgy, copper extraction technology occupies a central position due to its high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and cost-effectiveness. The successful implementation of this technology relies heavily on a well-designed, coordinated extraction equipment system. This system utilizes a series of physical and chemical processes to efficiently and efficiently recover high-purity copper from copper-containing solutions. Typical copper extraction equipment includes the following key components.
Mixer-Clarifier
The extraction process's "reaction core" consists of a mixing chamber and a clarification chamber. In the mixing chamber, mechanical agitation thoroughly mixes the copper-containing aqueous phase with the organic extractant, transferring the copper ions to the organic phase. The mixture then flows into the clarification chamber, where the copper-laden organic phase and the raffinate aqueous phase are separated by density differences.
Extraction tank and stripping tank
After the first extraction is completed in the extraction tank, the copper-loaded organic phase is sent to the stripping tank and comes into contact with the high-acidity stripping solution. The copper ions enter the aqueous phase to generate a high-concentration, high-purity copper sulfate solution.
Pump and piping system
It constitutes the "circulatory blood" of the factory, transporting materials and liquids accurately, stably and without leakage. Its reliability and sealing are related to production continuity and cost, and prevent material loss and pollution.
Advanced control systems
Real-time monitoring and adjustment of key parameters ensures the optimization of the extraction process, improves efficiency and recovery rate, and reduces manual operation intensity and uncertainty.
In summary, the four key components—the mixer-settler, extraction/stripping tank, pumps and piping, and control system—form a complete and efficient copper extraction system. Each of these components performs its own function while working closely together to transform complex chemical principles into stable and reliable industrial production.
