Solvent Extraction (SX) Process
• Allows extraction of metal from oxide form of ore
• Allows economical processing of low grade ore
• First step: Leaching with acid.
• Next step: Vigorously mixed with kerosene based
solvent with organic chemicals to extract minerals.
• Final step: Mixing and settling stage where
minerals is transferred for organic form to aqueous
solution
• Aqueous solution is then transferred to
electrowinning cells for metal recovery

Summary and Conclusions
• FRP has been used successfully for over 50 years
as a corrosion resistant material of construction in a
wide variety of mineral processing applications
• FRP equipment is inherently corrosion resistant to
acid based hydromet processes
• Many applications are better handled by FRP than
metal alloys
• FRP is a more economical choice than metal alloys
or rubber lined steel
