This document outlines various solvent extraction methods used to recover metals from aqueous ore leach solutions. The objective was to improve the efficiency and yield of metal recovery processes, specifically focusing on uranium, copper, nickel, and cobalt. The methodology involves treating emulsions formed during extraction with specific reagents, such as water-soluble acrylamide copolymers and organic solvents containing certain functional groups. These treatments aid in breaking emulsions and enhancing the recovery rates of valuable metals. The results demonstrate significant improvements in both the extraction yields and processing times when using the described reagents and methodologies compared to conventional methods. Additionally, this work highlights the potential for recycling the organic phase and reducing waste in metal recovery, thus contributing to more sustainable industrial practices. The findings present a comprehensive approach to solvent extraction, showcasing innovations that could lead to improved operational efficiencies in metallurgical processes.
