Features Of Chevron Phillips Chemical SX18 Solvent Extraction Reagent

  1. High selectivity for copper(II) ions in acidic sulfate leach solutions.

  2. Excellent phase separation characteristics with low entrainment and minimal crud formation.

  3. Superior chemical and hydrolytic stability under aggressive heap and solvent extraction operating conditions.

  4. Low aqueous solubility and minimal loss to the raffinate stream during extraction cycles.

  5. Compatible with standard industrial SX equipment and readily adaptable to existing copper recovery circuits.

Typical Applications Of Chevron Phillips Chemical SX18 Solvent Extraction Reagent

  1. Copper recovery from low-grade heap and dump leach solutions.

  2. Primary copper concentration in hydrometallurgical processing of oxide and secondary sulfide ores.

  3. Scrubbing and stripping operations in multi-stage copper solvent extraction plants.

  4. Recovery of copper from spent electrolytes and industrial wastewater streams.

  5. Co-extraction control in mixed-metal leach solutions containing iron, cobalt, and nickel impurities.
