History. The University of British Columbia and the department of Materials Engineering have a rich history in the field of Hydrometallurgy. The work of Frank Forward (our department head from 1945-1954) and other collaborators, led to the development of the Sherritt process for the hydrometallurgical recovery of nickel and cobalt from sulphide concentrates.
This plant used the ammonia pressure-leaching process developed by F. Forward of the University of British Columbia, Canada, to leach nickel sulfide concentrate at 85 °C and an air pressure of 420 kPa (g) as the first step in a totally hydrometallurgical process to produce nickel powder and ammonium sulfate fertilizer. The plant is still in ...
Here we demonstrate a new green hydrometallurgical process to recover lead based on a hydrogen-lead oxide fuel cell. High-purity lead, along with electricity, is produced with only water as the by-product. It has a >99.5% lead yield, which is higher than that of the existing pyrometallurgical processes (95-97%).

The hydrometallurgical line is based on leaching, primary purification by precipitation, secondary purification by solvent extraction with D2EHPA and CYANEX 272, and metals recovery by crystallization / precipitation.The process of this example enables the recycling of 17,000 metric tons (MT) of LiBs per year and generates 1,700 MT/year of ...
Sep 08, 2020· 23.3: Hydrometallurgy. Hydrometallurgy involves the use of aqueous chemistry for the recovery of metals from ores, concentrates, and recycled or residual materials.This process is used in extraction of less electro positive or less reactive metals like gold and silver. Hydrometallurgy is typically divided into three general areas: (1) Leaching ...
Hydrometallurgy. The extraction and recovery of metals from their ores by processes in which aqueous solutions play a predominant role. Two distinct processes are involved in hydrometallurgy: putting the metal values in the ore into solution via the operation known as leaching; and recovering the metal values from solution, usually after a suitable solution …
Sep 01, 2021· A hydrometallurgical process for recovering vanadium from slag, a byproduct of steelmaking, has been significantly scaled up. Previously deployed at mini-pilot and bench scales, the process, developed by Neometals Ltd. (West Perth, Australia; ), has now been expanded by a factor of 25, to process 14 tons of slag (corresponding to a …
TREATMENT PROCESS FOR EXTRACTION OF METALS FROM ORES ABSTRACT This invention relates to a hydrometallurgical process for extracting one or more saleable elements, in particular platinum group metals (PGMs), gold, silver and base metals from a sulphur-depleted or otherwise poorly-flotable ore (10).
using hydrometallurgical methods (non-oxidative and atmospheric leaching) in order to recover copper and accompanying metals. Non-oxidative leaching is a fast, selective and easy controllable process. Atmospheric leaching with sulphuric acid was found to be surprisingly efficient for copper, zinc and cobalt recovery from the by-
Increasing interest in biomining process and the demand for better performance of the process has led to a new insight toward the mining technologies. From an engineering point of view, the complex network of biochemical reactions encompassed in biomining would best be performed in reactors which allow a good control of the significant variables, resulting in a better performance.
