LEACHING IN A TUBULAR REACTOR, EXPERIENCE AND POTENCIAL INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION
Main Article Content
Abstract
The metal extraction and production is a highly important subject for Hydrometallurgy. In general, the leaching process of minerals and other metal bearing materials, which have a commercial value, is carried out in reactors or stirring tanks at atmospheric pressure or under pressure. This process requires a typical leaching time of 1 – 2 hours or even longer. The use of a tubular reactor can constitute an interesting option, if we take into account that the reaction can be accelerated and last only a few minutes. In the case there are other secondary reactions or physic – chemical processes, that increase the loss of the metals dissolved, the use of the tubular reactor turns to be an efficient hydrometallurgical alternative for this process because it dissolves metals quickly, so it permits to separate them before the metal loss by the undesired processes, such as precipitation and adsorption, among others, occur. The present work presents the results of the laboratory study of the liquid-solid-gas system in a tubular reactor and the industrial experience of this process application to leach and recover nickel and cobalt in the ammoniac carbonate process.
