摘要
Solvent extraction followed by electrowinning (SX-EW) is an economical option for the processing of low-grade and oxidized copper ore. Phenomenological models were developed to simulate the copper SX and the EW processes, The two models were linked together to make a SX-EW simulator. The simulator is used to predict the operation of the Mines Gaspe pilot plant put in operation in 1996. Results confirm the potential of the simulation that would subsequently be used for student training, process optimisation and to assess the performance of control strategies.
