CCD, neutralisation, solution purification & precipitation

CCD, neutralisation, solution purification & precipitation services

Acid neutralisation circuits are available in various sizes and stages and these can be fabricated to suit a particular need. The main skid comprises a 3-4 stage continuous plant operating at 80 to 95ºC with option for Cr(VI) Pre-Reduction via reductant (NaHS) addition, and can handle feed flowrates of ~ 50 to 150 L/h.

A CCD washing and thickening circuit is available with up to six stages (each of ~300 L including pre-mix tanks. This plant handles up to 30 kg/h dry solids with in-line feed flow measurement).

Solution purification circuit is available with up to six stages for removal of Fe(II), Al and other impurities via limestone addition and air-O2 sparging. The plant has installed auto-pH control and can accommodate variable retention (4.5 to 10 hours typically).

Multi-stage circuits are available for precipitation of MHP, MHP filtration and washing; scavenger precipitation of Ni and Co, and Effluent /Tailings treatment (Mn, Mg precipitation and Tailings Neutralisation).

All of the above can be readily scale and tailors to fit a client’s requirements.
