Introduction
The overall world costs in the chemical industry are remarkably related to the
solvent extraction (SX) of metals, e.g., Cu, Zn, Cd, Co, Ni, Au, Ag, Pt, Pd, Lanthanides,
Actinides. Here, some general SX concepts for selected representative metals, Cu and U,
including the main relevant equipment, operations and processes, are to be discussed. In
the world, more than 20 industrial plants produce about 3.9 million metric tons of copper
using SX-EW (data from 2016 to 2019) [1, 2]. Therefore, as SX-EW obtains more than
16% of overall primary copper production, it is possible to consider it as one of the most
critical applications in hydrometallurgy [2]. The SX-EW production is applied mainly to
low-grade oxide ores and some sulfides ores, so it barely existed before the 1960s.
However, as an emerging technology, the SX-EW production will increase to 18% in 2023,
as estimated by the International Copper Study Group [2]. As the representative selected
metal, from radioactive rare metals, actinides, SX of uranium will be discussed. As it is
well known the uranium, either as metal, carbide, or fluoride, is of substantial importance
for Nuclear Energy Plants. At present, before the nuclear fusion power plants enter into

the game, for example, only in France, more than 50 nuclear reactors are used in the nuclear
fission power plants producing about 75% of their overall electrical energy [3].
As an intermediary metals production segment, SX comprises that several former
and later successive operations and processes are involved too. The former can be the
primary mineral raw materials operations (PO), the leaching processes (agitation, heap,
in situ, biological (L), the liquids conditioning operations (C). At the same time, the latter
may be the treatment of a few unwanted side effects, for example, the entrainment
problems (E), the precipitation processes (P), the calcination processes (CA), the
reduction processes (R), an electro-wining process (EW).
At first, two examples will be taken as a representative to obtain metals, and
discussed in some details; the copper extraction from oxide ores, and the uranium
extraction from ores. The former operations, PO and process L precede the copper SX,
and EW follows it, i.e., the complete short-cut to obtain the copper metal is PO-L-SXEW. Further on, the former operations, PO, and process L precede the uranium SX, and
E, P, CA, and R follows, that is, the complete short-cut to obtain the uranium metal is
PO-L-SX-(E)-P-CA-R.
Further on, one particular example will be discussed in some details, too, that is,
the L-SX-EW process for copper from oxide ores. Finally, the C-SX-(E)-P-CA-R process
for uranium extraction from wet phosphoric acid, including the particular solution of the
entrainment problems E, is to be presented and discussed in some more details. During
the SX operations and/or processes besides the entrainment problems E, some unwanted
organic liquid compounds may be formed, as well as the presence of some foams or solid
impurities. Also, the extractant selectivity toward some wanted or unwanted metals have
to be taken into account. The solution to these problems has to be considered either in a
former liquid conditioning operations C, or in a later entrainment operations E [4-12].
After the general presentation of SX concepts, and representative examples,
including the relevant operations, processes, and equipment, the objective of this work
will be a brief discussion of the particular SX of uranium including the entrainment
problem solution. Since the entrainment problems are significant from both technical and
economic reasons and still are challenging or not well understood, the intention is a try to
elucidate or to clarify, to some extent, these problems. In the here presented and discussed
examples that are supposed to justify the idea, the coalescence process will be taken as
mainly responsible. However, because this event occurs at small separations, it could be
more appropriate to use the term electrocoalescence process (EC). Inevitably, as the
electron transfer phenomenon enters into the game, besides the heat, mass, and
momentum transfer phenomena, commonly used in classical chemical engineering, it is
plausible to name such background Extended Chemical Engineering. As a consequence,
the EC process becomes the subject of rheology or nano-rheology and inherently enters
on the border between classical and quantum mechanics or physics [6].
Three main reasons for the increasing tendency toward the applications of SX in
the world are: - technical, very low content of metals in the relevant minerals/ores,
including selectivity for the required metal and rejection of undesirable metals economic, the energy consumption is substantially lower, - ecological, the emissions of
hazard products may be much easier controlled as well as their dangerous impact on the
environment.

General concepts of SX operations and processes
Two general concepts are presented, including the number of, eventually, needed
main relevant operations, processes, and equipment. Fig. 1 shows the material and
equipment flow sheet for copper extraction from oxide ores PO-L-SX-EW, and uranium
extraction from uranium ores PO-L-SX-P-C-R.
In the first case, copper ores enter in the section PO, passing through the breaking
or crushing operations B1-B11, further on, through the grinding and milling operations
G12-G20, then enter in the section leaching L21, passing through the attrition machine
A22 and the conditioner C23, then enter into the battery of leaching reactors R24, then
after in the washing operation W25 and the clarifying operation C26, and finally from the
collector C27 enter into the section SX, wherein parallel are the pulse column P31 and
the battery of mixer-settlers M32, then after the stripping battery of mixer-settlers S33 the
extract finish in the section EW 35, while the exhausted acid solutions from the pulse
column P31 and the battery of mixer-settlers M32 are going in the neutralization section,
the conditioners C28 and 29, and finally in the reactor for neutralization N30.
In the second case, for uranium ores, a general concept is similar to the position
S33, then the difference appears, i.e., the extract is going into the precipitation process
P34, further on trough the calcination process C36, and reduction process R37.
Solvent extraction from copper oxide ores
In this example, Fig. 2 presents a simplified liquids flow sheet through the
appropriate equipment for the copper L-SX-EW process.
Fig. 2. A simplified schematic flow sheet for the L-SX-EW process from
copper oxide ores.
In the beginning, the heap 1 is brought in contact with diluted sulfuric acid, then
the sulfuric solution 2, with the copper and other diluted metals, is lead into the mixer
with organic phase 3, further on, in the settler, the water phase of dispersion 4 is separated
from the organic phase 5, then the water phase 4 is feedback into the heap, and the organic
phase 5, rich with metallic copper, is lead to stripping mixer 6, where it is mixed with the
stripping solution, i.e., the strong acid/weak electrolyte, then in the settler 8 the copper is

167
stripped from the organic phase into the rich electrolyte, and the organic phase 7 is
feedback in the mixer 3. Finally, the concentrated acid solution, rich electrolyte, is leading
into the EW cells 9, and then, at the end of the EW process the concentrated acid solution,
weak electrolyte, 10 is feedback into the stripping mixer 6.
Solvent Extraction of uranium from wet phosphoric acid
The second, more detailed, concept is related to the radioactive rare metals,
actinides; as a representative concept, the uranium SX from wet phosphoric acid is to be
discussed. Here, the entrainment loop E is introduced as one additional later operation
and process sequence which is to be discussed in particular. In Fig. 3 a schematic flow
sheet for the uranium C-SX-(E)-P-CA-R operations, processes and equipment is
presented.
It is usual that such, or somehow similar, concept is applied as one bypass plant in
the industrial plants for phosphoric acid or fertilizers. This concept may contain seven
main parts, that is, the conditioning operations, two cycles of solvent extraction, the cycle
of reductive stripping and precipitation, the entrainment section, the calcination and
reduction sections.
In the first section I, the phosphoric acid, e.g., from the industrial plant, enter the
heat exchanger 1, to be cooled, and then into the thickener 2, vacuum filter 3, and
adsorption column 4. Hence, the conditioned acid enters in the extraction cycle II, at first
in the oxidation reactor 5, then after in the battery of four mixer-settlers extraction units
6, where the acid is mixed with the organic phase, e.g., the synergistic mixture D2EHPATOPO in dearomatized kerosene, or some newer and more effective organic mixture, then
the organic phase, enriched with uranium, is going in the battery of three mixer-settler
stripping units 7, where this organic phase is mixed with the acid from reduction reactor
8. Now, the stripping cycle III, the phosphoric acid, enriched with uranium, enter into the
battery of four mixer-settler extraction units 9, wherefrom the organic phase, enriched
with uranium, go in three mixer-settler washing units 10, and further into two mixersettler stripping units 11; finally, the enriched phosphoric acid is going in the crystallizer
columns 12, where the ammonium di- or three-hydro-uranate is precipitated IV. The next
section V, the phosphoric acid, with low content of uranium, which includes the entrained
organic phase, in the form of the double emulsion, is going from the extraction mixersettler battery 6 into the lamellar coalescer 13, from where the separated organic phase
is feedback into the extraction cycle II, and the phosphoric acid is going in four air
induced flotation cells 14, wherefrom the overflow is going into the lamellar coalescer
15, and underflow, the phosphoric acid in the collector tank 16. At the end of this
section V, the phosphoric acid with low content of uranium and with a minimum of the
entrained organic phase is returned in the industrial plant for further treatment VI. In
section VII, the precipitate, ammonium di- or three-hydro-uranate (yellowcake) IV is
going in the calcination section 17, and further on in the reduction section 18. Finally,
the uranium metal U is obtained.

Entrainment problem solution
Now, the particular entrainment problem solution is to be discussed in some
details. Following the adopted methodology at first, the entrainment section design will
be elaborated. The representative example is taken from the pilot plant for uranium
extraction from wet phosphoric acid by the D2EHPA-TOPO process [13-16]. The main
idea for this process was developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA, and later
on, using this idea Institute for Technology of Nuclear and Other Mineral Raw Materials
(ITNMS), Serbia has developed, designed, and constructed the pilot plant as a by-pass
plant in the fertilizers factory Prahovo, Serbia [17-28].

The light phase loop
A particular section for the presented entrainment problem solution was designed,
constructed, and applied in the by-pass pilot plant. The pilot plant, presented in Fig. 3 was
running six years in the campaigns of two months per year. All necessary details of the
light phase loop are presented in Fig. 4.

stripping units, 4-Lamellar coalescer-central unit, 5-Flotation units, 6-Settler unit, 7Adsorption column unit, 8-Raffinate tank, 9-Light phase collector tank.
From the mixer-settler extraction units 2 the heavy phase, phosphoric acid,
together with the entrained light phase in the form of a double emulsion, enter in the
lamellar coalescer 4. Further on, from the lamellar coalescer 4, considered as the central
unit in the entrainment section, the heavy phase continues into the battery of four air
induced flotation cells 5, wherefrom to the settler unit 6, and the adsorption column unit
7. Finally, the heavy phase raffinate is collected from the battery of flotation cells
underflow 5 and from the adsorption column output 7 into the raffinate tank 8, and then
feedback into the industrial plant. Hence, the raffinate, phosphoric acid, with very low
contents of uranium and the entrained light phase is convenient for further fertilizer
production processes. To mention two main reasons, technical and economic, for the
application of the entrainment section: the first, technical, is corrosive action of the light
phase, synergistic mixture of D2EHPA-TOPO in dearomatized kerosene, on the rubberlined processes equipment in the industrial fertilizer plant, and the second, economic, very
high price of the organic phase components, D2EHPA and TOPO or some other organic
phase components developed later as more efficient.
Central unit in the entrainment section-the lamellar coalescer
A schematic cross-section and design parameters of the lamellar coalescer,
considered as the central unit for the breaking of double emulsion in the entrainment
section, are presented in Fig. 5.

parameters: overall area Ao, area of perforations at the tops Ap, the inclination angle α,
and distance between two consecutive tops λ.
The mathematical models, overall volume balance model, reduced semiempirical
mathematical model, and simple population balance model were developed and used for
designing of the lamellar coalescer; their details may be found in the references [6, 7].
Breaking of double emulsions on an inclined plate
It is important to understand the events and/or physical processes that occur in the
lamellar coalescer during the breaking of finely dispersed systems, double emulsions [2947]. The physical picture of the events in this equipment may be presented as the
succession of the following successive sequences: approach, rest, disturbance, rupture,
coalescence or electrocoalescence, and flow up. This physical picture, including all
mentioned sequences, is presented in Fig. 6. A further and more in-depth clarification of
the involved events and physical processes can be found in the references [6, 7].

EC process
Only a brief review of the two less known and/or understood sequences are to be
presented here, these are disturbance and rupture, including the EC process, but much
more details may be found in the references [6, 7]. Hence, a corresponding constitutive
model of liquids was developed and applied to the selected double emulsion.
Considering Marangoni instabilities of the first order and possible electrical analogue,
the EC process, in some extent, was elucidated. The Marangoni instability of the first
order has been explained theoretically in [6, 7, 47-50]. It is shown that if there is an
adverse temperature gradient of high enough magnitude across a thin liquid film with a
free surface, such a layer could become unstable and lead to cellular convection. Hence,
such a small disturbance may cause a film of initially uniform thickness to be locally
heated at a point on the interface; that results in a decreased surface tension and a surface
tension gradient which leads to induced motion tangential to the surface away from the
point of local heating. Taking into account mass conservation, this motion induces a
motion of the bulk phase, which is warmer than the liquid-liquid interface, toward the
surface. Also, this story can be interpreted as a thermal Peclet ratio, which presents a
measure of the ratio between heat transport by convection, due to surface tension
gradients, and bulk heat transport by conduction. Now, because the forces of electrical
origin become dominant at small separations, that is, at nano, and atto scale it may be
possible to redefine the parameters with the changes relevant to the nature of forces
involved; thus, forming the electrical analog of Marangoni instability mechanism is
permitted, which is shown in Fig. 7.

Further on, taking into account the presented electrical analogue of Marangoni
instability and developed theory of electroviscoelasticity, both based on electrohydrodynamics principles, the physical picture of the EC process is shown in Fig. 8.

curve 4 – overcoupling, low circuit factor of merit Q becomes significant and

Finally, both the qualitative and quantitative physical pictures of the EC process
are presented and discussed in more detail in Ref. [6, 7, 47, 50].

insight into the SX of metals, with several operations, processes, and equipment involved.

is, a copper and U, including the main, necessary, former and later operations and
processes. Also, one particular entrainment problem solution is discussed to some extent.
