Solvent Extraction Testing Programs
A broad range of solvent extraction test program can be carried out at Core Resources. Core’s experience and capabilities include simple bench top studies involving ‘shake out tests’ through to operation of SX pilot plants of various sizes and levels of complexity.
Equipment available for SX process development testwork includes a Bell unit mini pilot plant featuring 8 x 0.2 L mixers and 1 L settlers. Typical throughputs for this plant range from 0.5 – 2 L / h and it is therefore suitable for initial small-scale trails. Larger continuous testwork equipment can be designed and built for specific projects.
Solvent extraction can also be added to other leaching pilots for closed loop circuits. Crystallisation and/or precipitation of loaded strip liquors can also be bolted on the back end of SX testwork/pilots.
