An alternative approach to modelling solvent extraction of uranium based upon fundamental thermodynamic analysis. Pure system isotherms are used to calculate fundamental thermodynamic constants of interfacial reactions. These are implemented in a SysCAD process model using the PHREEQC add-on.
• Thermodynamic and Solvent Extraction Modelling in SysCAD
• Uranium and Molybdenum Solvent Extraction Chemistry
• Isotherm Data Fitting
• Baseline Simulation
• Sensitivity Analysis
Presentation by Dr. Kevin L. Heppner, P. Eng, representing SysCAD at the ALTA 2022 Metallurgical Conference & Exhibition 20-27 May 2022.
Based on the paper "First Principles Modelling of the Solvent Extraction and Stripping of Uranium including Molybdenum Control", first presented at ALTA 2022 - https://www.altamet.com.au/conference...
