Mechanistic Model—Based Speciation of Copper Complexes Adsorbed on Resin in an Ammoniacal Thiosulphate Resin-Solution System

Leaching and adsorption of copper complexes simultaneously occur in ammoniacal thiosulphate resin-solution systems. The reaction requires good control-independent variables to minimize reagent consumption as well as to obtain optimal adsorption of copper complexes on resin. This work proposed the de...

description Leaching and adsorption of copper complexes simultaneously occur in ammoniacal thiosulphate resin-solution systems. The reaction requires good control-independent variables to minimize reagent consumption as well as to obtain optimal adsorption of copper complexes on resin. This work proposed the development of a mechanistic model for the speciation of copper complexes in such a system. A set of experiments was conducted to validate the mechanistic model, and a comparison of the results showed that the mechanistic model is in very good agreement with the measurement-based result with the correlation coefficient (R 2 ) being 0.997. In addition, the effect of independent variables was investigated. The effect of initial thiosulphate concentration on the most dominant copper complex species of Cu(S 2 O 3 ) 3 5− (S) (s) on resin and the possibility to minimize the reagent for the optimal concentration of species were investigated. In addition, a constraint was needed in the concentration of ammonia in solution to achieve the optimal adsorption of CuNH 3 (S 2 O 3 ) 2 3– (s) complex.
