Recognized methods of elution of strong base resins use zinc cyanide ammonium thiocyanate or acidic thiourea Although each method has advantages and disadvantages Fleming and Cromberge 1984 no single method seems to be appropriate for all example Fleming 1989 used the zinc cyanide method for a conventional strong base resin A161RIP used at
These three applications of the Sherritt Zinc Pressure Leach Process involved the integration of zinc pressure leaching into an existing refinery using fry leach electrowinning technology using single stage leaching This allowed the plants to increase their Zn production without the need for an increase in H 2 SO 4 production
In electrowinning most of the energy consumed is related to the electrical energy needed to drive the electrochemical reactions For industrial copper and zinc electrowinning the median specific electrical energy consumptions are and kWh kg −1 respectively [3 4] This electrical energy consumption accounts for 80% of the total energy
Abstract This paper aims at the problem of the influence of the gas evolved from the electrode on the performance of the electrolytic cell during the electrowinning process of zinc hydrometallurgy Based on the COMSOL Multiphysics software a visually intuitive coupling model of the distribution of the tertiary current and the flow of bubbles in the zinc electrolysis cell is
