| Abstract Scope |
Hydrometallurgical separations of many species are difficult because of the similarities in properties. This presentation provides a brief overview of various fundamental principles that can be applied to separate different elements in liquid media without chemicals. Distinct differences in mass, density, and charge allow for the separation of many ions in challenging systems without chemicals, as will be explored in this presentation. Leveraging these differences opens avenues for innovative applications of these principles through alternative processing methods. Examples include the use of centrifugal forces to separate common ions, and electrical forces to separate critical ions and isotopes. |
