Abstract

Language:

The study addresses the separation of copper present in produced water (PW), utilizing samples collected from a field east of Baghdad. The efficiency of the anodes used is crucial in the electro winning process; thus, electrochemical tests on aluminum and 316 L stainless steel anodes were conducted before the electro winning process. The results indicated that the aluminum anode exhibited superior corrosion resistance compared to the 316 L stainless steel anode. Subsequently, the electro winning process was performed to isolate copper from an acidic solution, yielding a maximum current efficiency of 32.4% with the aluminum anode and 29.5% with the 316 L stainless steel anode. Notably, the lowest specific energy consumption was recorded at 0.8 kWh/kg for the aluminum anode and 0.85 kWh/kg for the stainless steel variant, both achieved within an electro winning duration of 4 hours. Considering the challenges presented by PW, this research highlights the potential for effective metal extraction as part of clean technology advancements in the 21st century.
