Abstract
The ammoniacal leaching is apparently considered an attractive approach to process polymetallic sea nodules wherein copper , nickel and cobalt are solubilised forming the ammine complexes . To separate these metals, LIX 84, an oxime extractint , was tried from the synthetic solutions . The loading capacity of this solvent for individual metal and ammonia extraction was determined and compared with that of LIX 64N. Preferential extraction of copper over nickel from a mixed aqueous solution was observed . The kinetic studies for the extraction of metals were undertaken to arrive at the retention time appropriate for this operation . Before metal stripping, the mode of ammonia scrubbing from the organic was worked out using acid or a comhination of ammonia -dilute acid as the reagents . The coextraction of nickel and copper and their selective stripping were considered to explore the possibility of separating Cu, Ni and Co from ammonia- ammonium carbonate medium . The separation of these metals from the ammoniacal leach liquor of sea nodules was also attempted.
