Abstract: | The importance of ultrasound in solvent extraction was examined by studying solvent extraction of nickel with Lix 65N and
Lix 70 extractants. The studied parameters were ultrasonic energy and frequency, pH, temperature, and organic and aqueous
solution composition. The stability of extractants under the influence of ultrasound was also examined. It was found that
ultrasound had a significant importance, because it increased the extraction rates four- to sevenfold. The effect of ultrasound
was physical,i.e., to increase the surface area. Ultrasonic energy consumption was also evaluated. The consumption was high, but it can be
significantly reduced by the appropriate method of application. A novel solvent extraction method, extraction-in-pipe, was
also proposed. |
