A review of available flowsheet options incorporating molecular recognition technology (MRT) separation systems now available to the copper industry, with emphasis on value recovery from process, byproduct, waste, and environmental streams

摘要

IBC has developed a wide range of SuperLig~R products which have a strong affinity for numerous ions, including Hg, Cu, Bi, Sb, Fe, Al, Zn, Mn, Cl, CN, SO_4, Pt, Pd, Rh, and Au, in copper process, by-product, waste and environmental streams. SuperLig~R complexes with these ions, and effectively removes them from the particular stream. Depending on specific project needs, the metal ions (e.g. - Cu) can be recovered for value utilizing MRT, or treated using conventional procedures for efficient disposal. Various stream flow sheets are available incorporating SuperLig~R products, as well as conventional processing techniques.
