Journal ArticleDOI
Metal sulfide precipitation coupled with membrane filtration process for recovering copper from acid mine drainage
TL;DR: In this article, a combination of metal sulfide precipitation with membrane microfiltration process is proposed to clarify and separate those previously formed metal sulfides, focused on enhancing the copper recovery and the performance of clarification, evaluated in terms of turbidity of treated solution and separation rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel process based on gas filled membrane absorption to recover cyanide in gold mining
TL;DR: In this article, a membrane contactor operation to recover cyanide from gold mining, using gas filled membrane absorption is proposed, performing laboratory tests in order to determine the throughput of this process and the most relevant parameters, which affect the cyanide recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Designing the SART process – A review
TL;DR: The state-of-the-art of the SART process is presented in this article, where the authors present a compilation of published work about different SART projects and plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling and simulation of mass transfer in near-critical extraction using a hollow fiber membrane contactor
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a general methodology to predict the performance of a continuous near-critical fluid extraction process to remove compounds from aqueous solutions using a hollow fiber membrane contactor.
